Members on Tour
We love to see pictures of members of Verulam Golf Club on their annual golf tours. Last weekend Rob Welsh, Paul Tucker, Paul Telfer, Matt Davies, Dan Walker, Lee Gazey, Donal O Kane, Scott Lucas, James Nowak, Ian West, Rich Brown, Rich Black, Matt Bailes, Chris Branton and Andy Martin all went to Bath for our annual Giants versus Dwarfs match.
|
The Dwarfs defended their crown winning 8.5 v 6.5 over two days playing Bowood, Castle Combe and The Players Club in Bristol. Apparently fun was had by all with lots of good golf and plenty of killer hangovers. |
Opening Times
With the nights now drawing in the driving range will close at 5.30 every evening. This will allow us to collect the balls before darkness. Times will obviously get earlier as the days get shorter. |

RTX 4 Introducing the all new RTX 4. Get more spin with sharper tour zip grooves, more durable laser milling and centred rotex face milling. Sharper, deeper grooves slice through grass, sand and water for more consistent spin on every shot. Longer-lasting laser milling brings face roughness right to the conforming limit for more friction and more spin on all shots. Milling that’s in-line with your strike pattern increases backspin on all full, pitch, and chip shots.

With the Ryder Cup coming up next week, we can expect plenty of tense moments, particularly on the greens. You’ll probably notice that players on both sides will have the ability to hole out under huge amounts of pressure – who can forget Ian Poulter’s clutch putt on the 16th green at Medinah in 2012? |
Find a putter you can trust To replicate these kind of putts, whether that's in the monthly medal or playing for money with your friends, you need to choose a flatstick you can trust. Why not try out the PING Vault 2.0 Dale Stealth putter? It's a conventional shaped putter so will suit those of you looking for a classic option, and is also available in both Platinum and Copper finishes. If you have a slightly arced stroke, then we couldn't recommend this putter enough. |
