Greetings from Matt
I’d like to start this week’s newsletter by paying our respects to Denise Hull. We here in the shop and all members and guests who knew Denise Hull, are enormously saddened by her passing. We had all become so accustomed to seeing her here in the halfway house, having a cuppa and chatting away to all who passed by her.
Whenever she waited to welcome the ladies in, whether it be from the 9th green or the 18th, she was always that friendly face who brightened the club up.
Denise was an outstanding Lady Captain who was the driving force in pushing for club “gees” and gender equality at the Met. Her amazing energy was also directed at improving the club’s amenities and creating a comfortable environment for all players and guests.
We will continue to treasure and watch over everything she had accomplished at the Met.
Our condolences go out to the Hull family and friends.

New Putters in the shop
Something to be excited about, we’ve received the new TaylorMade Putters – as designed for the current world Number 1 Dustin Johnson and recent Number 1, Jason Day.
The Spider Tour Black and The Spider Tour Red
Both putters feature a removed sightline and slight toe hang. The putters combine a compact head and the forgiving MOI that the Spider design is renowned for.
The main difference aside from the colours is a slightly firmer feel off the face of the black model. It is a beautifully balanced putter that is worth a try!
It has a hefty price tag, but when you start sinking more putts, you’ll forgive yourself! Speak to us today.

TaylorMade is adding (much) more to the Pro golfing
Yet another victory for the TaylorMade ‘M’ series metalwoods (and TaylorMade Irons and Wedges).
Yes, Sung Hyun Park took the US Women’s Open. Besides highlighting the incredible Tour impact of the ‘M’ metalwoods, it demonstrated the importance of conquering miss-fortune and mistakes.
A year ago, Park managed to find the water on the 18th hole at CordeValle. She missed the play-off and her opportunity at a first victory. This year Park finished strongly, birdying 15 and 17 to open a 2 shot lead, powering to her first LPGA victory.
Park also gave us all a lesson in how, within the tournament itself, it’s important to keep looking forward and not to let the bad shots get you down. In her opening round she hit just 10 of 18 greens in regulation. But then got herself right and managed to hit 43 of the last 54.
