Cricket St. Thomas Golf Club

Welcome to this week's newsletter bringing you all the latest news from around the club, competition results and what's new in-store.

But before we get to all that, we thought we would share this photo with you taken out on the course this past Monday morning by Greenkeeper Jamie

What is it they say about a red sky in the morning?

Enjoy the read.

Competition news

Captain’s Drive-in

This Saturday is the Annual Captain’s Drive-in and we just wanted to clear up that the drive-in is after the competition itself at approximately 14:00-14:30 with the competition a shotgun start at 10:00.

Saturday Bogey

Results:

1st. Mark Woodley(7) - £36
2nd. Mark Seddon(14) - £21.60
3rd. David Allen(6) - £14.40

24 X £3 = £72

Twos:

Martyn Hartley – 13th
Ross Pickett – 16th
Mark Woodley – 16th

24 X £1 = £24 (£8 per two)

Winter League Round 3

1st. Jon Lord, Neil Wilmington, Paul Manley & Graham Chubb - 89 - £9pp
2nd. Jimmy Patch, Richard Bryant, Mary Bryant & Angela Patch - £5.40pp
3rd. David Hannaford, Gavin Druce, Paul Haggett & Sean Druce - £3.60pp

The Winter League is competed over 5 rounds with the 4 best scores to count and after round 3 the current top 3 look this:

1st. P. Haggett, G. Druce, S. Druce & D. Hannaford - 268
2nd. P. Danes, M. Griffin, M. Knowles & S. Hallett - 262
3rd. M. Crabb, A. Crabb, S. Lawrence & M Hearn - 262

Please take note that winter League scorecards have been marked incorrectly by some competitors leading to top-up money being incorrect and having to be changed in the past. Please can you all double check your cards are correct before being handed in. I would hate to have to disqualify anybody as it’s a team competition and the marker would let the whole team down.

First look...

January is always an exciting time in the golf industry with new products being launched left, right and centre. For us, there's one product that has us more excited than any other this year and it's Callaway's aptly-named Mavrik driver.

New for 2020

We're sure you'll agree it looks phenomenal and with three models available - Mavrik, Mavrik Sub-Zero and Mavrik Max - it's vital that you come down to see us in order to find the best option for your game.

Layer up

Last week we talked about one of our favourite topics: rain! Whilst waterproof protection is key for staying dry when caught in a downpour, combining layers of clothing underneath is vital if you want to enjoy the warmth without being so restricted that you can’t complete your backswing.

What do we mean by layering?

Lots of golfers are still in the habit of putting on as many layers as they possibly can in the winter to combat the cold – a vest, turtleneck, polo, sweater and jacket – but today’s golf clothing could easily cut that down by half.

What do we suggest?

From polos that keep you at a cool temperature in the summer to quilted pieces that lock in warmth like PING's Breaker jacket above, having the right item of clothing can do the job of several poor layers. Pop by the shop to have a look at our clothing collections.
