JUNIOR CAPTAINS -CIARA EGAN AND JACOB FAWCETT
We have had a great summer of Junior Golf, with many different types of events and successes,
both at the club and away at County and National events.
Our Captains’ Day was held on the 14th of August and it was a great day. Everyone really
enjoyed the day and it was great to see so many young juniors starting to take part. Together we
raised just under £1700 for our chosen charities which we thought was excellent.
We have also enjoyed many different types of other events. We had a pilot for a new 3 hour
weekly coaching, which was very well received, and a Summer Series Stableford which was well
attended, and counted towards the overall Order of Merit.
Along with friendly matches against other clubs, our annual match against the Ladies and
Seniors, and the new Junior Ryder Cup event over 2 days, where the Juniors (Europe) beat the
adults (USA) 8 ½ to 3 ½ , there has been something for everyone.
The successes of our juniors away from home is a long list. The stand outs would be that both Ben Loveard and Rosin Scanlon represented England, Roisin
playing against Wales, and Ben playing in the Home Internationals, Chanel Fontaine-Geary winning the Faldo Series Under 18’s in Wales, and Tom O’Kane
winning the St Andrews Boys Under 18 Open.
We now concentrate on the Vale League for our scratch team, and may more events over the October half term before the season ends, and we both
hope everyone has a great end to the year with some good golf.

Auction, which was held at the end of May.
The day started with breakfast followed by a mini shotgun start on the Marquess course. There were four threeballs with Ian joining each group and playing

WOBURN GOLF CLUB AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Battery powered mowers
With 135 hectares of woodland at the golf club, our green keeping team is responsible for the management and preservation of a diverse
range of trees and shrubs which create the character and uniqueness of our three courses.
Our goal is to balance a continuous cover throughout the woodlands, encourage a healthy habitat for wildlife whilst maintaining
playability and conditions conducive to turfgrass growth.
Each course has a member of the green keeping team who is responsible for our woodland management plan. They work alongside
Courses Manager, John Clarke, our Estate woods team and our external consultant Andrew Bowmanshaw to ensure consistent progress
is made.
Projects cover tasks such as the clearing areas of Bracken or Gorse to allow the regeneration of Scots Pine, removal of dead / dying or
dangerous trees that are competing with healthy trees and replanting trees, gorse, and rhododendron to achieve continuous cover.
During the winter months as grass growth slows, Woodland works become a large part of the green keeper’s duties across all three
golf courses.

It has been great to see so many members once again enjoying the clubhouse
to its full extent attending events such as Lady Captains Day, The Kevin Byram
Swindle Day and Captains Day, to mention but a few. The festive period will
soon be upon us and you can now view menus for the Christmas Carol

• update you on your levy spend and when you may need
to top up,
• alert you to important club news like course closures or
changes to buggy usage.
A visual showing the planned improvements for the main terrace
Towards the end of the year, it is our intention to make significant
improvements to the main terrace. The installation will provide an area with
a retractable roof to include built in heaters, which will increase the flexibility

Another great dish from Head Chef - Paul Nicholls
CUSTARD CREAM BLONDIES
200g melted unsalted butter 275g plain flour
125g caster sugar 35g custard powder
125g light brown sugar 200g white choc chips
3 eggs 200g chopped custard creams
1 tsp vanilla extract or paste
This is a fantastic recipe to make with or for the kids during the holidays that everyone will
love! Firstly, preheat your oven to 180 ‘C and line a square tin with parchment paper. In a
large bowl mix the butter and sugars until smooth, add the eggs and vanilla and mix well, stir
in the flour and custard powder until smooth then finally add the chopped custard creams
and chocolate chips. Pour the mixture into the baking tray and cook for 25-30 minutes, the
blondie should have a slight wobble in the middle, this will make it gooey and soft. Once
cooked leave to cool before portioning with a knife. They can be decorated with a drizzle
of melted chocolate or sprinkles. And the best bit - enjoy!

13BE A VERSATILE BUNKER PLAYER!
By Head Professional and Fellow of the PGA, Daniel Grieve
The greatest skill in being a good bunker player begins before you even set-up to the ball! The ability to assess the lie and make the relevant adjustments is vital
to achieving a good contact and therefore distance control over your greenside bunker shots.
Many of you will have specialist Sand Wedges which have been designed with expertise to allow the sole to slide through the sand and splash the ball
out softly.
However, as we head into the Autumn the sand will inevitably become more compact after rainfall and the ability to adapt your Set-Up and Swing means you
can still achieve a solid strike and reduce the risk of a thinned strike. There are a few simple Set-Up adjustments to be made which will promote more of the
front section of the bounce entering the sand rather than the back section from the soft sand.
You can see I have moved the ball further back this has added in a greater forward shaft lean which reduces the bounce angle of the Sand Wedge. I strike
down behind the ball with a little more 'thump' with a curtailed finish. This is in contrast to where I would finish for a softer sand lie where I have a full, released
finish which encourages the bounce to slide through the sand and under the ball.
Switch on your senses when you walk into a bunker, does it look more compact, does it feel firmer underfoot, if so, you now know how to play the shot and
make sure you are putting for your next shot!
I hope you have all enjoyed your golfing season and now is the time to start
working hard on your games, if you need any help preparing for next season,
myself and our team of coaches will be delighted to help you. Daniel Grieve - Head PGA Professional, Woburn Golf Club

15Ball markings - line or no line?
AimPoint golf discusses

it is very much evenly split. An aim line appears to work and benefit 50% of the players I work with. However,

16CUSTOM FITTING
New Irons from Ping, Taylormade and Titleist all new to the Woburn Performance Centre
New - Ping i59 Irons
The New Ping i59 iron has a crisp, consistent
impact, solid feel and a flighted trajectory with
added forgiveness. These are the result of an
aerospace grade aluminum insert (AlumiCore™)
joined to a forged 1025 carbon steel body and
17-4 stainless steel laser-cut face. To deliver
precise, reliable distance and performance
across every club, the face is engineered with
MicroMax™ grooves.
• AlumiCore™ Technology - an aerospace grade aluminum insert allows approximately 30 grams of
material from the center of the club to be redistributed to the perimeter in the form of toe and shaft
tip weights, elevating the MOI to match that of the larger PING i210 iron.
• MicroMax™ Milled Grooves - the precision machined face has new MicroMax™ grooves for tighter spacing and a geometry that results in an
average of four extra grooves to reduce fliers in the short irons and preserve spin in the long irons.
• Higher MOI - toe and tip weighting elevate MOI to reduce the stat area and achieve a level of forgiveness unprecedented in a forged design.
New - Taylormade P790 Irons
The New P790 irons from Taylormade are packed with technology to suit the Mid to Low handicapper, they include:
• SpeedFoam™ Air - newly engineered SpeedFoam™ Air is 69% lighter than its predecessor. It provides an average of
3.5g of weight savings that has been redistributed to further optimize mass properties for better launch conditions.
The new formulation gives you exquisite sound and feel while producing a fast, flexible face.
• Thin-Wall Construction and Forged L-Face - a new 8620 carbon steel construction makes the head
thinner by up to 37.5% in strategic locations, allowing for a significantly lower CG placement.
This new thin-walled design pairs with a responsive 1.5mm forged 4140 steel L-Face to promote
supreme flexibility, fast ball speeds and distance while upholding a premium forged feel.
• Thru-Slot Speed Pocket™ - the Thru-Slot Speed Pocket™ provides increased face flexibility
while preserving ball speed and distance on low face strikes.
• Intelligent Sweet Spot - using data analytics, we have repositioned the sweet spot lower
on the face to naturally capture more shots and provide performance where golfers need it most.
• Tungsten Mass for Low CG - engineers developed new construction methods to thin out the body,
allowing for up to 31g of tungsten to be placed in the toe. It creates a massive amount of stability
and forgiveness wrapped in a player’s package.
New - Titleist T-Series Irons
New Titleist T100, T100•S, T200, and U•505 irons
are now being validated by the world's best players.
Validating product performance across the
worldwide professional tours is a critical step in the
development of all high-performance Titleist golf
equipment. Based on initial testing and feedback, the
new line-up is poised to continue Titleist's long run
as the most played irons on the PGA TOUR.

Royal Jersey has a rich history and is located on a wonderful part of the island
with views of Mont Orgueil castle and the French coast beyond. A former
home to six-time Open Champion Harry Vardon, Royal Jersey has a
captivating and enthralling layout. The Grouville links, as the course is better
