Bradfield College & Golf Club

Hello Golfers,

Welcome to this week's edition of my weekly newsletter. We hope that you're having a fine week both on and off the golf course.

Enjoy the read.

Competition news

How did we get on?

We are now back from our trip to Spain where the college played their first event at Desert Springs.

It was a team of four event (best ball pairs) over 54 holes and through 36 holes - Bradfield was leading on 169 Stableford points (eleven-under-par gross). Unfortunately, we were unable to keep it going on the final round and finished fifth on 239 Stableford points.

See below a couple of images and there will be a movie coming next week.

Tour news

Breakaway league

In a bid to combat a packed global schedule, the World Golf Group outlined a proposal that would bring together 48 of the best players in the world in an 18-event season with a total prize pool of £183 million.

Already Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson have been approached about joining the Premier Golf League as it is being called although it is important to note that the league is nothing to do with either the PGA or European Tour’s with both making it clear that players would have to choose between one or the other. Could we be about to see a divide at the top of the game?

Keep a grip on it

A recent golf survey highlighted some very interesting statistics regarding golfers' habits and their equipment, two of which you can see in the image below.

These stats might not mean a lot to you at face value, but the general recommendation is that you change your grips once a year, especially if you play regular golf.

The truth is, grips lose their efficiency over time and when they do we end up gripping the club too tightly, which restricts our ability to swing the club freely. Just something for you to think about...

A taste for the finer things

Some people want the finer things in life: champagne, first-class travel, luxury cars. Our next addition may sound a little strange, but Titleist’s second-generation AVX balls are here and we're big fans.

Titleist AVX balls

Available in the pro shop

Engineered for greater ball speeds, longer distance and increased short-game spin, the upgraded and extremely soft AVX packs a lot into a golf ball and fits nicely into Titleist’s elite ranks alongside the Pro V1 and Pro V1x.

All three Titleist balls are available at Bradfield College Sports Complex, so pop by the pro shop to find out which is best suited to your game.
