Seniors Away Day at Hart Common Golf Club
Hart Common Golf Club was the destination of the first Senior Section Away Day programme of 2018. The weather gods were smiling upon us and gave wall-to-wall sunshine. Eighteen members journeyed from Blackpool to Westhoughton to partake in the competition organised by Honorary Senior Captain Steve Layton and after the game the Members echoed the quote below (extracted from Hart Common website).
“The course itself requires accuracy over distance but that’s not to say there isn't the odd long par 4 which requires both. A good mix of holes, with each feeling unique, it’s a round that you won’t want to end.” Anon. 1st Gary Bremner 36 Points
2nd Morris McGruer 33 Points
3rd Bob Linaker 32 Points

At long last The past week saw many of you dust off your clubs and join us for a game of golf as we all tried to make the most of the unseasonably hot weather (was it too hot?). We’re keen for this not to be a one-off adventure for you so we thought we’d try to lure you back by telling you what’s happening here at the club. To begin with, we have plenty of fresh new product sitting in the shop with your name on it. It’s also worth remembering that if there is a specific product that you’re after that we don’t stock in-store, we will be able to source this for you in a matter of days, in most cases, and for a great price. Just come and speak to us in-store and we'll be more than happy to help. Alongside the latest and greatest we’ve decided to run a few new season offers so that you can be fully prepared for the months ahead. Talking of which, our competitions are up and running with fields getting bigger with every passing month. So if you want to be in with a chance of winning, be sure to consider a lesson or two with a member of our fantastic team. |

| Urethane cover? So what... |
A common phrase we hear here in the shop is: “It’s round and white, it can’t be that different”. The truth is that every single golf ball is unique in some way – whether it’s the ball’s core, layers or dimple pattern – but there is one thing that all premium balls have in common… |
Try Urethane with the Z-Star and Z-Star XV
Like all tour-level golf balls, the Srixon Z-Star and Z-Star XV boast a Urethane cover, which sets the bar for cover materials. Urethane – a soft and flexible polymer – will give you the highest possible spin rates combined with the best feel; benefits you will really notice when hitting chip and pitch shots. However, if you like to play lower flighted chip-and-runs you might prefer other options in Srixon’s range that are made with Ionomer covers. While this type of cover doesn’t generate as much spin, it is slightly more durable and offers a cheaper alternative. |
|
 | As you can see on these 50-yard pitch shots, the extra spin from the Urethane cover ball on the right helps it to stop much quicker than the Ionomer cover ball on the left, which rolls out on landing. |
