Manston Golf Centre

After two days on the month, a very impressive 3” was topping the leaderboard, however, that all changed on Thursday afternoon as we saw THREE hole in ones all within an hour of each other. Rob Greenall got the ball rolling closely followed by TJ Newman and Jon Miles. Onto Friday and regular practicer Ken Underwood aced it, closely followed on Saturday by fellow North Foreland member Anne Gillon (her second hole in one). Not to be outdone, Sunday saw a further two aces.

So, we now have seven golfers tied at the top of the leaderboard who will take part in a winner takes all playoff at the end of the month. There’s still plenty of time to join them, our ‘Nearest the Pin’ competition is FREE to enter, just pay for your balls, log in with the Toptracer app and select nearest the pin.

John Brotheton's Short Game Clinic

We still have a few spaces left for John’s next clinic:

Before the weather changes for the worse,John will be holding another Short Game Clinic. It will be on Saturday, 12 October: 10.30am - 12.30pm with the usual price of £20 per person. It will consist of 'Pitching, Chipping and Bunker Play'.

If you have not been before, then you will have an enjoyable two hours of learning how to help cure any weaknesses you may have in your short game, but, if you have been before, now is the ideal time to check that everything is in order for the winter, helping to set you up for the next season.

You will also learn new, simpler ways of getting that 'annoying little ball' closer to the hole more often, so, don't miss out, give me a call on 07930 715487, email John or pop into the shop to book to make sure you secure your place as this is always a very popular clinic.

Get your range in

There may be fewer competitions down the club at this time of year, but that doesn’t mean you should hang the clubs up until spring. Winter provides the perfect opportunity to correct the wrongs and get your game in a better place ahead of 2020 when the season starts again.

If you rewind to spring 2019, was your game rusty or were you firing on all cylinders straight away?

It's often the case that golfers struggle for consistency at the start and it's only then that they come to us for lessons or to work on their game.

Why not try something different this year and have some lessons over the winter on your key weaknesses so that when the new season does come around, you're playing better than ever?

Blast from the past: Drivers

Who remembers the days of hickory shafted clubs and plus fours? Some people say that golf was harder back then with a lot less help from our equipment, so we thought we'd take you on a trip down memory lane to see how far technology has come. Enjoy the ride.

Lynx Black Cat driver

We're certain that the first image above has brought back some fond memories for a lot of you - some of you may still have one in the bag!

Once upon a time, small clubhead sizes were the norm, which offered very little in the way of forgiveness off the tee with adjustability just another way of saying you needed to change up your swing.

Thankfully, technology continues to develop and today's drivers are unrecognisable from what's been and come before.

Take Lynx's Black Cat driver as an example. It boasts a moveable weight system on the sole that can be adjusted to optimise your launch off the tee. It all means one thing - a custom fitting is crucial.
