Moray Golf Club - PGA Golf Professional I hope you've all had a fantastic week on and off the golf course and welcome to another exciting edition of the Moray Pro Shop weekly newsletter, bringing you up-to-date with all the latest news and gossip from within the walls of MGC.

I’m also pleased to say that we have another member of staff return, albeit only for one day a week. Julieann has decided to come back to help us out in the Shop on a Monday going forward and it’s great to have her back.....Mondays will never have been so busy. |

Gordon’s drive at the second old ended up on the face of the left side bunker. There was no way he would be able to play his shot so he announced to Andrew that he was deeming his Ball unplayable, marked and lifted his ball and chose option c of Rule 28 Dropping his ball within two club lengths of where his ball lay but not nearer the hole under penalty of 1 stroke.. Gordon wasn’t too keen on where his ball lay and decided to deem his ball unplayable for the Second time and announced that the was going back to the tee and would be playing his 4th shot.. Andrew was too happy that Gordon was proceeding correctly. Was this permissible
Yes. Gordon was entitled to play from the tee because he had not made a stroke at the ball under Rule 28 option c. In the bunker. The tee was the spot from which the original ball was last played.
Well you learn something new every time you play said Andrew.

Battery Trade In Lithium batteries are quicker charging, last longer and work out cheaper in the long run than the standard Lead Acid alternatives, so it's time to say goodbye if you're still using one. As such, we'll give you £25 when you trade-in your old battery against a new Lithium one. Motocaddy has now made Lithium even more affordable, so this really is a fantastic opportunity to save yourself some money.

| Urethane cover? So what... |
A common phrase we hear here in the shop is: “It’s round and white, it can’t be that different”. The truth is that every single golf ball is unique in some way – whether it’s the ball’s core, layers or dimple pattern – but there is one thing that all premium balls have in common… |
Try Urethane with the Z-Star and Z-Star XV
Like all tour-level golf balls, the Srixon Z-Star and Z-Star XV boast a Urethane cover, which sets the bar for cover materials. Urethane – a soft and flexible polymer – will give you the highest possible spin rates combined with the best feel; benefits you will really notice when hitting chip and pitch shots. However, if you like to play lower flighted chip-and-runs you might prefer other options in Srixon’s range that are made with Ionomer covers. While this type of cover doesn’t generate as much spin, it is slightly more durable and offers a cheaper alternative. |
|
 | As you can see on these 50-yard pitch shots, the extra spin from the Urethane cover ball on the right helps it to stop much quicker than the Ionomer cover ball on the left, which rolls out on landing. |
