Paul Mitchell Golf Academy

Hello Golfers,

Welcome to the latest edition to Bristol & Clifton GC weekly newsletter. We hope that you're having a good week on and off the golf course.

Unfortunately the weather has been misbehaving again. Last weekend should’ve been the April Medal, but the rain flooded the greens and it had to be cancelled. How much longer must we wait for a heatwave?!.

Enjoy the read.

Club news

So no results to report on for the weekend due to the weather, but the Ladies were able to play the Ladies’ Stableford and England Golf Trust on Tuesday 3rd April.

The winner of Division one was Mary Clifford (31 points) and second Alison Bracey (29 points).

Division two was won by Di Sayner (29 points) with Pamela Atkinson in second (28 points). Congratulations Ladies and well played.

Wednesday 18th Weekday Medal

Now on to the latest in the Academy.

Academy news

This week we received this fantastic report from Junior Team Manager Mark Kennedy. What great news:

Our Junior team played Long Ashton on 8th and took a great win 3-2. Elle Willis, Harry Kennedy and Archie Grayson picked up the 3 points with Archie winning on the 18th.

Great start to the new season and against Long Ashton who are always strong as they had 4 county players in their team.

Fantastic news, thanks Mark.

Get with the times

If you're not using a Lithium battery with your electric trolley then why not? They charge quicker, last longer and work out far cheaper in the long run than standard Lead Acid alternatives. Right now we're offering you £25 when you trade-in your old battery against a new Lithium one - a fantastic opportunity to save yourself some money.

No penalty

Golf can be a frustrating game at the best of times, but incurring a penalty stroke when you’ve accidentally done something wrong seems very unfair, especially when that one stroke could be the difference between getting a handicap cut or not.

Current Rules
Under the current Rules of Golf, if you accidentally nudge your ball while addressing it you incur a one-stroke penalty and must replace it (18-2). The only exception relates to if it is accidentally moved in the process of marking it. In this case, it must be replaced and there is no penalty (20-1).

New Rules from 2019
The new proposed rule (13.1c) states there will no longer be a penalty for accidentally causing your ball to move on the green and you must replace it on its original spot.

Let us make it simple for you

We pride ourselves on being the only place you need to go for your golfing needs, which is especially true for golf balls. But we also realise that because we offer a wide range, it can be hard to know which model is right for your game.

Tour performance

If you have a fast swing speed, you’re probably an ideal candidate for the Srixon Z-Star, which is the choice of Hideki Matsuyama and Graeme McDowell. It boasts tee-to-green performance thanks to its Energetic Gradient Growth Core that provides softer feel with improved launch conditions for more distance, plus its Spin Skin coating that enhances spin on approach shots.

Balanced performance

The Srixon AD333 and Srixon AD333 Tour are both fantastic options for club golfers, with their lower compression cores able to generate more distance for players with moderate swing speeds. The AD333 delivers a balance of distance and control with its two-piece design and ionomer cover. The three-piece AD333 Tour meanwhile, is a premium lower-compression ball thanks to its urethane cover.
