Greetings from Ben Blackburn
Director of Golf


Having done several custom fits and on-course lessons during the past couple of months, the importance of set make-up has become very apparent. Many players have large gaps in loft between clubs meaning a huge distance differential throughout their set. The main area that players have this large gap is generally between their wedges.

Considering 70% of the game is played within 100 yards, these clubs should be the most efficient providing you with designated yardages and various options to pitch and chip. Splitting the large gap between your pitching wedge and sand wedge with a "gap wedge" will enable you to be more precise and increase your ability to judge the distance of your approach shots; ultimately lowering your scores.

The same can be said of the combination between woods, hybrids and irons. A 15 yard distance increase between clubs ensures you have the correct options right the way through your bag. If you would like any help to correctly space your lofts/hybrids or wedges please enquire in the pro shop or get in touch here


The PGA South region have just released the playing schedule for 2015 which incorporates some great golf courses and days out. As always we will be active in playing in these tournaments across the South East. Many of the courses are exclusive and only accessible via tournaments that the PGA provide. Please find a link here to the 2015 schedule, if anyone is interested in any of the competitions (all of which have great amateur prizes) please contact us in the pro shop.


From our Lady Captain

The ladies section of the club is open to 3, 5 or 7-day members. For midweek players, meetings take place on Tuesday mornings for monthly stableford and medal competitions, as well as games just for fun. There are also friendly games with other clubs in Kent. For weekend players there are weekend monthly medal and stableford competitions, as well as the Apaljacs league and mixed friendly games.

In addition to these, the ladies actively take part in many KCLGA organised events, such as Pearsons, Tappin, Bradley Cook, 3 Feathers, Holland and the Captains Cup. UK-wide events include the Daily Mail events and the PING Fourball Betterball. There are also Spring, Summer and Autumn Meetings, a summer Ladies Open event, and a Ladies' Invitational. All of the above competitions have varying formats and are open to all lady member players.

If you are interested in joining the ladies section, or would like more information about their activities, please contact:


On Sunday, 1 February Danny Jones had his 4th career hole-in-one on the 8th hole. This proved to be the decisive shot during his winter pairs match against Gordon Burgess and Fraser Nicol. Danny, who was partnered by George Farrington and is pictured here, managed to register a 2&1 win in a tightly contested match with his "1" advancing the pair through to the next round.


Don't Forget....
