Welcome to this week's newsletter, bringing you the latest news, events and offers from here at The Blackwood GC. We hope you're having a great week on and off the golf course. Enjoy this week's read! |
Monday Morning 9
I'm looking to start playing nine holes every Monday morning at 10:00am, ideally this would be with three different members each week but if one or two show or a few people attend every week that is fine. I see it as a great opportunity to get to know each other and hopefully enjoy nine holes (weather permitting) and possibly a coffee afterwards. This will start Monday, 5 November at 10:00am, if you are interested please get in touch by calling 028918 52706 or clicking here. |

NEW PING Sigma 2 putters The new Sigma 2 putters from PING are now available in-store. These new putters from PING appeal to every golfer out there, this is due to the fact there are 10 different shaped putters to suit everyone's eye, there's even one that allows you to take the ball out the hole without bending down! PING are also introducing a new feature on this line that allows you to customise your putter length. Each putter comes with a completely adjustable length shaft all the way from 32 inches to 36, this is in an aim to increase consistency once you find your length. Experts have proven that without using the correct length putter will cause you to groove and develop a stroke that cannot perform consistently.

What could have been It was all-change at the top of the world rankings yet again, as Justin Rose reclaimed the number one spot after winning the Turkish Airlines Open. The Englishman beat China’s Li Haotong in a playoff after both players finished on 17-under-par.
For Li, it was certainly a story of what could have been after a series of near-misses down the final stretch. To compound his misery further, Li had a makeable putt on the first playoff hole to claim victory, only to race his first attempt a few feet past before failing to hole the one coming back. A three-putt for Li and a second consecutive Turkish Airlines Open victory for Rose, securing his place back at the summit of the world rankings. |
