Senior's news

Clark and Hall Medal Winners

After a lengthy period of absence due to Covid-19 restrictions, it was a real joy to welcome the Seniors' Section back to playing qualifier trophy competitions. An excellent turnout of members, who maintained social distancing, participated in the August Monthly Medal playing on a course which was provided in supreme condition by the greens staff.

The fairways welcomed long drives whilst the greens with their immaculate appearance, provided a tough test for those who have recently become used to short distance gimmie putts. The medals were awarded to Alan Clark (Division one) for a very respectable nett 65 and to Ian Hall (Division two) who carded 68 with a better back nine-hole score than Ian Coundon.

Competition nett placings:

Division one -1st Alan Clark 65, 2nd Phil Wright 66, 3rd Steve Lupton 69.

Division two - 1st Ian Hall 68, 2nd Ian Coundon 68, 3rd Mike Broom 71.

The wait was worth it

The long wait for a Major was worth it. What an incredible PGA Championship we saw at TPC Harding Park!

A highly-competitive tournament saw everybody from rising stars to relative unknowns and, of course, Brooks Koepka all have a pop at the Wanamaker Trophy. In the end, it was rising star Collin Morikawa who came out on top.

Usually, pars are enough when you hold the lead on Sunday at a Major, but not this time. A six-under 64, including a chip-in birdie on 14 and an eagle on the 16th, took Morikawa to -13 for the week to claim an incredible victory aged 23 and in just his second Major start.

We had a poll on our website last week that asked who was most likely to dominate golf over the next decade. Jon Rahm was by far the favourite - he's back to World Number One now - followed by Koepka and then Justin Thomas. The egg is certainly on our face for not including Morikawa in our list! Maybe next time…

 
 
 
 
Think you're not good enough to be fitted?

The number of golfers who have not been fitted for their irons is far higher than it should be. We often hear golfers say they’re not good enough to get custom fitted, but we are here to dispel that myth and explain why getting fitted WILL improve your iron play.

Non-fitted vs fitted golfers

Consistency is critical in your iron play and being fitted for your irons will give you this, plus improve your accuracy and make any errors less extreme.

There are so many factors that influence our ability to strike the ball better and hit the ball where we want it to go. One thing you may not have tried before is Cleveland’s Launcher HB Turbo irons, which are a highly-forgiving hybrid-iron style that offers incredible consistency and distance.

It’s well worth giving these a try, which is something you can do with us down at New Forest Golf Club. You can also see more about the irons on our website by clicking the button below.

Sink more short putts

Think back to your last round and ask yourself this question: How many shots would I have saved if I holed every putt inside 10-feet? The answer, I bet, is a lot. We all dream of holing those 30-footers, but the short-putts are the most important.

Holing from inside 10-feet is all about being comfortable and confident in your putting stroke. With a one-to-one lesson, we can help you master your own putting stroke and become much more clinical from close-range.

When it comes to the putter itself, do you prefer blades or mallets? Face-balanced or toe-hang? The good news is that Odyssey has something for everybody. The even better news is that we can help you find the perfect putter for your game.
