The Golf Centre Team

Hello Golfers,

Maybe I shouldn’t be saying this as I don’t want to jinx things, but what a winter we are having compared to the horror of this time last year. In my 25 years as a golf pro, I have never known it so dry for the time of year and I am sure you will agree that both courses at Dibden are shaping up well and showing no real signs of winter fatigue.

The greens team are busy bunnies cutting and shaping and no doubt you have also seen the improvements in the drainage at the back of the 8th hole. The continuous tree felling programme is adding light to the important parts of the course and aesthetically making our golf course look that much tidier (plus easier to find our golf balls).

So with spring a month or two away, remember, what you practise now on the range and course will have a huge impact on the start of your golfing season.

Happy golfing! Paul

Tour news

A tense final hole

It was a shock win for world number 417 Adam Long, as the American claimed his maiden PGA Tour title at the Desert Classic in California. A bogey-free card for Long – in what was only his sixth tour event – led to a final round of 65, finishing on 26 under.

He fought off stiff competition from the considerably more experienced Phil Mickelson, who was left ruing a lack of composure on the greens, as he finished one shot behind Long. Mickelson had carded an opening round of 60 – his best ever round on tour – but he failed to cling on to his lead as Long claimed a well-deserved victory.

On the European Tour, it was an equally nerve-wracking end in the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, with Shane Lowry emerging victorious by one shot over South African Richard Sterne. It was the first victory on tour for Lowry since August 2015, and signals a return to form for the Irishman. A test of nerve was required with both Lowry and Sterne level on the 18th tee, but Lowry’s birdie at the last sealed the win.

You can't go wrong...

The last thing anyone wants is to purchase a new set of irons, only to struggle massively when they take to the course with their friends a few days later. Sound familiar? Well, with lots of new products about to land in-store for 2019, here is an iron model that we recommend having a custom fitting for...

Wilson Staff's new women's D7 game-improvement iron has been designed to suit your game right down to every shot. RE-AKT Technology adds power where you need it the most for fantastic distance, whilst its progressive Power Holes ensures you have the perfect blend of distance and precision throughout the set.

You can't go wrong...

Wilson Staff's C300 iron range has been designed to ensure you're able to hit those pin-seeking approach shots more consistently than ever before - both the C300 and C300 Forged models feature Power Holes to generate extra distance, whilst the Forged has a thinner topline to aid the better player in shot-shaping.
