Pro's 9 Hole Stableford 

Congratulations to Mike Troup and David Sibanda for winning divisions one and two of the Pro's 9 Hole Stableford with 19 and 23 points respectively. Andy Wells had another good round which gives him top of the Winter Aggregate.


Ladies Yellow Ball Am-Am 

Congratulations to Sandra Smith, Mary O'Toole and Lady President Gwyneth Holt for winning the Yellow Ball Am-Am.


Winter League 

The Captain and I enjoyed the company of Steve Yakub and Ian Broughton on a very wet Sunday morning. We managed to take an early 4 up lead and maintain it for most of the round before closing it out for a 5 and 3 win. Next week we are playing team Sibanda, Atkinson, Hogg and Harding; we are looking forward to it! 

The league table has changed slightly with three of the teams who were in second place losing. Team Foden/Peck/Lane/Stanyer/Fesmer are still top, and the captain and I are two points behind in second place.


 

We have had a few new arrivals this week here at Alderley Edge: 

TaylorMade M2 Driver and Irons 

In the past, it has been challenging to create products that can provide exceptional distance and forgiveness at the same time. In most cases, a product would deliver one benefit at the expense of the other, but the M2 gives golfers the best of both worlds. 

The M2 is built with a multi-material construction - the same as M1 - that features an ultra-light, ultra-thin and high-strength Carbon Composite Crown; unlocking exceptional distance and forgiveness for more golfers


PING G Irons 

Revolutionary COR-Eye Technology provides four times the amount of face flexing for consistently faster ball speeds across the hotter face. A gain in ball speed and shot height generates more carry distance and a steeper landing angle. A specialized heat treatment creates Hyper 17-4 stainless steel, allowing for thinner, faster faces to gain distance.

How has Sandra changed her swing? 

Sandra came for a lesson last week and was the first person to benefit from using the K-Vest. Three days after using it she won a competition! Below is a description of how it helped her. 

Sandra's main fault is an 'over the top' downswing leading to a slice and a loss of distance. As you can see in the picture on the left, Sandra had a tendency to lift out of her original posture, causing the club to go back too far and her body to get out of position. The K-Vest helped her to see that she was over rotating her hips in the backswing by about 20 degrees, mainly due to a lack of right leg stability.

   

As you can see in the picture on the right, Sandra is now turning her hips less due to a more stable right side. This is now helping her to swing down on a better plane.
