There aren’t any competitions at the weekend so we will run another fiddle on Saturday. This time it will be a singles stableford with a difference, 90% handicap allowance, playing in 3 balls or 4 balls. The difference is that white tees will be in use for the odd holes and yellow tees for the even holes. This means that the hole in one pot still counts and it should be good fun for everyone. To even it out, red tee golfers will have full handicap allowance. There will also be nearest the pin on all par 3s and longest drive on the 6th hole which of course will be from the yellow (or red) tee which I think is a great tee shot visually.

As always with the Pro’s Fiddle, there is no priority on the tee, and they’re not handicap qualifying. If you need fixing up, just let us know. Also a big congratulations to all the Ladies that claimed their prizes at the recent Presentation Night.

Tick another off your list

It's time to stop putting it off - Christmas is getting closer and closer, so you need to consider what will be going under the tree later this year. We're not just talking about the presents that you buy for loved ones and friends, but also what you want to be unwrapping come December 25th.

Garmin Approach S10

A golfer who is not utilising the immense help that a GPS device provides is putting themselves at a major disadvantage over their playing partners. Knowing how far you have to the green (front, middle and back) as well as hazards is vital to hitting your next shot with confidence, which you can get from the Approach S10.

Garmin Approach S60

If, however, you want a little bit more style and information from your GPS then we'd suggest Garmin's Approach S60. The choice of straps means you can choose one to suit your lifestyle off the course, whilst its full-colour maps and touchscreen face eliminates any guesswork during your round.

Buried alive!

One of the enduring memories from this year's Ryder Cup was how brutal the rough was at Le Golf National; sometimes it was impossible to even see the ball once it landed in the first cut. This led to a lot of buried lies for players on both teams, which is something you’ll be dealing with yourself this winter...

These lies can lead to scorecard-wreckers, so it's important you know how to get your ball back into play when out on the course.

Firstly, don't be greedy! Make sure you take a lofted club - a wedge for example - which will help get you out of trouble. A lesser lofted club won’t get the ball in the air quickly enough, as the club comes in at too shallow an angle, resulting in it getting caught up in the grass behind the ball.

You should also make sure you play the ball further back in your stance, which encourages a steeper angle of attack to elevate the ball out of the grass nice and quickly, ensuring you can play your next shot from the fairway.

Spotlight: FootJoy Pro/SL shoes

Has there ever been a more popular spikeless shoe than FootJoy's Pro/SL?

Many golfers think that spikeless shoes don't offer the same level of stability and traction as a cleated pair, especially in winter conditions. However, the Pro/SL has quashed this myth, which is one the reasons it dominates amongst tour professionals.

If you haven't upgraded yet, this week sees FootJoy release two fresh colourways to tickle your fancy.
