COURSE NEWS
Jeff Anderson proved once again what a consistent player he is as he partnered Jim Donald to victory in last weekends "Guide Dogs" foursomes competition. Returning an excellent groos 74 [ nett 67 ] Jeff and Jim claimed a 2 shot winning margin from the pairings of Alex Fogwill/John Habgood and Jim Drury/Mike Warren tied in 2nd place on nett 69.
Jeffs' simple "one-plane" swing technique allows him to play good, consistent golf nearly all the time. The improvements Jim has made over the last 12 months after a series of lessons should not go unnoticed. Keep up the good work.
This weekend sees the first of the singles trophy competitions with the playing of the Fortt Cup on Sunday. This competition is open to gents AND ladies and is a singles stableford competition [full handicap] over 18 holes. Anyone who would like to play but has yet to enter can do so by entering via the website or calling the Pro-shop.
ACADEMY NEWS
Regular users of Kingsdowns' driving range may have noticed the arrival of our new "Planeswing" training unit. For those of you who have not used one of these, these fully adjustable units offer great benefits to just about every player giving us not only a better understanding and concept of the angle at which the club should be swung around our bodies but also the sequence of that movement. If you are struggling making progress with your game I can highly recommend a lesson using the "Planeswing" training aid.
