Dates for the diary

England vs Rest of The World
Sunday, 1 September

This is your chance to step forward and represent your country, whichever one it may be? Captained by Past Captain, Adrian ‘The Foreigner’ Northeast and the ever-patriotic Richard ‘St George’ Halifax, this is an individual stableford but every point will count for your side as the highest average is the winner. Last year I believe it came down to a quarter of a point. This is open to All Full and Flexi members, £5 entry for individual prizes (and a qualifier for Men’s Club Champs).

Men’s Club Championships
Saturday, 7 & Sunday, 8 September

This is the BIG one for all you Full male members out there but please remember you must have played in at least FIVE qualifying events since January, 1 to be able to enter. We still have plenty of events to play in if you need a couple more and if you’re not sure either check on your ‘HowDidiDo’ account or simply contact the Pro Shop and we’ll tell you.

We have The Brookes Cup (scratch) and The Roseberry Medal (Handicap) to be defended by last year’s Champions Hector Gauld and Mark Bennett, respectively. This is one of the best weekends we host at the club so even if you are not playing, why not come up for the presentation held on the 18th Green and enjoy the unique atmosphere that we have at our events here at Epsom?

The entry sheet is on the Men’s Competitions Board; £12 per man for both days.

EGC Men’s Seniors Open
Thursday, 12 September

This event is growing more and more popular every year as our members now realise that they are able to play in it. We have golfers coming from far and wide with last year’s winner coming from Crowborough Beacon GC down in Sussex. He is down to defend his title again but if you would like to keep the crown here in Epsom, let us know in the Pro Shop as soon as possible as the start sheet is filling up fast. Outside golfers are charged £35 entry but members only pay £30, with this including coffee and bacon rolls on arrival, golf followed by a two-course carvery and presentation of prizes. Look forward to hearing from you, open to ALL male members.

EGC Mixed Open
Saturday, 14 September

Again, as with the Seniors event, popularity has grown since we have publicised that EGC members are very welcome to play in our Mixed Open with a guest. It’s a great day and the format is Betterball Stableford followed by a luxury cold meet buffet and presentation of prizes. To outside pairings, the cost is £65 but to an EGC pairing the cost is just £60 per pair. You can either head to the ‘Play’ dropdown on our website or directly email the Pro Shop with your pairs.

So, as I say, we have plenty for you and your guests to play in over the next few weeks and if you require any further information or would like us to enter you in any or all of the above events, please contact the Pro Shop and we will help.

Revealed: Our top driver of 2019

Looking for a new driver this year? There is plenty of choice out there so why not grab a coffee, take five and watch our latest video on why Callaway’s Epic Flash has set our pulses racing this year?

“The Epic Flash offers excellent ball speed”

Not for the first time this year we are raving about Callaway’s Epic Flash driver, where Artificial Intelligence has played a major role in creating a radical face design known as Flash Face:

“Flash Face is designed to give you maximum amount of ball speed across the face”

And it certainly does that, especially on off-centre hits! One swing of the club and we reckon you'll be hooked as the added bonus of the beautiful green, black and yellow colourway leaves us drooling when taking it out of the bag.

So, now is the time for you to come down and demo the Epic Flash driver and let us correctly set-up the club to suit your swing during a custom fitting session.

Flop shot required

Type ‘flop shot’ into Google and Phil Mickelson’s name will be at the top of the search. The five-time Major champion is the go-to guy when it comes to shots around the green, especially the flop shot. So, if you want to follow suit and impress your golfing partners, here’s our guide to this magical shot.

Technique

The first thing you must do is accelerate through the ball and stay aggressive. It's when we get a little scared or take our eye off the ball that things start to go wrong, all of which we can explain during a short game lesson.

Wedge

Your wedge plays a vital role with worn grooves and incorrect bounce leaving you at risk of a bladed shot through the green. Nightmare!

TaylorMade’s Milled Grind Hi-Toe wedges are arguably the best around to execute this shot properly as the 4-way sole in the higher-degree wedges enables you to get the ball popping up in the air and stopping quickly.

Video of the Week

There aren't too many Guinness World Records when it comes to golf, but here's a video of four European Tour players trying to get their hands on one of them! Enjoy.

Thank you for reading and have a great weekend.
