Welcome to this week's newsletter, bringing you all the latest news and offers from here at Epsom Golf Club. We hope you're having a great week on and off the golf course.
Enjoy this week's read. |
On the Course...
We’ll kick off with the ladies this week who headed out to compete in their stableford in rather testing conditions with a very good-sized field. It was very tight at the top going to a countback to decide the winner with Denah Shah just pipping it from Shirley Kennett on countback both with 32 points, who were both just in front of Kay Briggs on 31 points. Some good golf in tough conditions.
|
The gents this week had an even tougher test as this week’s round of the Men’s Winter League series which was the dreaded ‘Aggregate Medal’. Again conditions were very tricky on Sunday but we had a pair who emerged well clear of the pack.
The formidable pair of Lee Alderman and Richard Foot finished with a final nett total of 133 (-7) which in this format is very, very good.
It may have helped that Mr Foot shot a personal best of nett 61 himself which earned him a substantial handicap cut to boot. |
|
Finally, another weekend, another ‘Hole-in-one’ and this time it was the turn of one of my Academy members.
Dr Zhongmin Song hit a fantastic seven iron on the 17th hole to card her first ever ‘Ace’, which is not a massive surprise bearing in mind she has only been playing for a couple of years. Congratulations Zhongmin! |

In the past, golf clothing has had the reputation of being “for the golf course” with a call to the fashion police needed if you were to wear it anywhere else. Thankfully, times have changed, and we now have a vast selection of fashionable pieces in-store that you’ll be able to confidently wear both on and off the golf course.
|
We know some of you are still wearing your baggy golf jacket from years gone by, so here's our suggestion to replace it: Under Armour's Elements Insulated 1/2 zip jacket. |
If you're shopping on the high street, you'll come across plenty of padded options. Well, this jacket has panels of dual-layer fabric to trap in the warmth whilst golfing on the coldest of days. |
Its stylish design means it can be worn both on and off the course, whilst its Storm technology gives you the confidence that you'll remain dry no matter the conditions. |
