Professional's Team Challenge
This coming year, the pro shop will be offering a pro's challenge. The challenge will involve a team of three members with one of our professionals. It will be a stableford of best two scores out of four with the cost of £25 per player.
If you win the challenge and have the best score out of all of the teams to compete, you will win a golf trip away. The destination will depend on how many entries we have. It would be great to get the chance to play with our members so please come in and chat to us and we'll have a game!
The big question is… which Verulam Pro will best suit your team?
Who will it be?
Stephen Topping - The long hitting monster who can drive many of the par 4's
Laurence Allen - Highly competitive and very consistent, great team player
Joel Saunders - With over 6000 rounds of golf at Verulam, will course knowledge be key?
Glen Portelli - Likes the warm weather, especially when the putter gets hot
Here at Verulam we are always looking for ways to improve our service. We are very lucky to be able to use some of the best brands in golf to custom fit with. Mizuno have possibly the best innovation ever!
Some of you have used this already, but here is some more information on the ground breaking Mizuno DNA Fitting system which is available here at Verulam:
Three Swings, Ten Minutes
The Mizuno Shaft Optimizer is a real shaft that can be attached to any of Mizuno's demo heads. Within the Optimizer is a series of strain gauges that measures the sequence of forces your swing creates. In just 3 swings the Mizuno Shaft Optimizer can measure everything we need to know - without checking or measuring the ball flight.
The Optimizer's screen displays 5 data points that create your Swing DNA. The readings are all taken from the shaft rather than the ball - so there's no pressure to make perfect contact. Your readings for a pure strike and a miss-hit will be the same. The loads your 'different' swings place on the shaft are incredibly consistent.
From your Mizuno DNA - we can shortlist 3 suitable shafts for you to test (from over 50 possibilities). The system can't factor in your personal preferences for feel and sound - that's down to you. Though, it's a much easier decision to make from 3 well matched options. From our experience the right shaft could find you 20-30 yards in wasted distance as well as improving your consistency.
