Check out the picture above, I got the pot of gold though so don't bother looking for it.

Hope to see you this week, been good to see members and their spouses using the shop for Santa. Please think of me sitting here all alone hoping for some business in this brutal weather, I have some great deals available in-store.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the read.

Competition results

Winter Series - Saturday 7th December

That's us now completed, 8 weeks and the table is now starting to take shape and is all very tight at the top. Will be interesting to see how it all shapes up in the weeks to come. We had 45 players turn out on Saturday which wasn't bad given the weather conditions and its now December. We have £423 saved up for the final day shootout.

Upcoming Events

So far there has been a reasonably poor response to the ANNUAL TURKEY TROT and CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR COMP. The forecast doesn't look too clever for the weekend but a great day is ahead. This is YOUR club and these events are put on for YOU. Come and sign up for the events and make them a success.

Annual Turkey Trot - Sunday 15th December

This annual event is a huge tradition of the golf club, and was heavily supported by the success of the Sunday Club. However, after a season of little interest, the funding is all but none. Last year we charged £5.00 per head to play and is open to full members only, which we will keep for this year. Also if anyone can spare a bottle or two then this would be greatly appreciated and would entitle you to select your tee-off time before the draw goes live on Sunday.

We have the fantastic Stevie Donegan kicking off the afternoon Cabaret at 3.00pm. Bring the better half for a drink and a boogie and support your club.

Looking forward to another hugely successful day at Wishaw Golf Club. If you need any more information then please get in touch with the Pro Shop Team.

The Inbetween Christmas and New Year Scramble

Last year we came up with an idea to hold a fun day Texas Scramble with entertainment afterwards. We are going to try again this year and the date is 27th December 2019. Lots of people will be off that Friday so it is strictly a first-come (and paid) first serve basis. We will be limited to 25 teams of 4 and booking is open now.

It won't be available to book online and names (with payment) must be given to Pro Shop Team.

Junior news

Junior Coaching at Fairways Golf Arena

I spent another 2 hours coaching the future stars of the club at the fantastic FAIRWAYS GOLF ARENA in Coatbridge. The boys are really reaping the benefits of continued coaching and must really be looking forward to getting their games onto the course. This week we concentrated on the short game.

This week we concentrated on the short game. I must thank fellow PGA Professional Bobby Rushford of the Fairways arena for the continued use of his facility. If you have not tried it yet you really should.

If you would like to get your junior member some coaching then get in touch with myself or Ian Prentice.

#468FCD ;text-align:left">The missing link

Sometimes, the difference between a scratch golfer and a 9-handicapper can be quite small, such as how far they hit the ball. However, there is certainly one part of the game that can be hugely different and it’s the area where your score is either made or lost.

Why the gap?

It's brilliant to see more club golfers getting fitted for new clubs now than ever before, and long may that continue!

But why would you not get fitted for your wedges?

With modern lofts on irons being stronger than ever (one of the reasons today's irons go further than a decade ago), golfers are often left with huge gaps between clubs at the bottom of their bag.

With lofts available from 46 (PW) to 60 (LW) degrees, we'd highly recommend getting fitted for Callaway's new JAWS wedges as not only will they provide you with great performance around the green, but the correct set-up will easily fill any gaps you might have.

The missing link

Sometimes, the difference between a single-figure golfer and an 18-handicapper can be quite small, such as how far they hit the ball. However, there is certainly one part of the game that can be hugely different and it’s the area where your score is either made or lost.

Why the gap?

It's brilliant to see more club golfers getting fitted for new clubs now than ever before, and long may that continue!

But with the constant promises of extra distance through the bag and modern lofts on irons being stronger than ever (one of the reasons today's irons go further than a decade ago), golfers are often left with huge gaps between clubs at the bottom of their bag.
