Weekend Competition Results Well done to all who played last weekend in sunny, wet and blustery conditions. Let’s hope next week’s competition will be played with full summer rules. On to the winners... First place was taken by new member Ben Glover, beating the course 3up. Well done Ben and welcome to Wychwood Park. He pipped Malcolm Sawkins on countback, who although he came second, I'm sure he will be glad his golf is back in order after the hand operation. Full results are as follows: First place - Ben Glover, second place - Malc Sawkins, third place - Dave Edwards, fourth place - Colin Garside and in fifth place - Henry Narraway. Twos - Neil Price, Rob Surman, Nick Davenport, James Picariello, Steven Critchlow, Ray Cornwall and Darren Minor.

[* END *] Urethane cover? So what... |
A common phrase we hear here in the shop is: “It’s round and white, it can’t be that different”. The truth is that every single golf ball is unique in some way – whether it’s the ball’s core, layers or dimple pattern – but there is one thing that all premium balls have in common… |
Try Urethane with the TP5 and TP5x Like all tour-level golf balls, the TaylorMade TP5 and TP5x boast a Urethane cover, which sets the bar for cover materials. Urethane – a soft and flexible polymer – will give you the highest possible spin rates combined with the best feel; benefits you will really notice when hitting chip and pitch shots. However, if you like to play lower flighted chip-and-runs you might prefer other options in TaylorMade’s range that are made with Ionomer covers. While this type of cover doesn’t generate as much spin, it is slightly more durable and offers a cheaper alternative. |
|
| As you can see on these 50-yard pitch shots, the extra spin from the Urethane cover ball on the right helps it to stop much quicker than the Ionomer cover ball on the left, which rolls out on landing. |
