Hi Folks,

I trust you have all had a decent week of golfing in reasonable weather. I would love the temperature to pop up a touch mind you. We are pretty much in summer mode now with most of the stock having arrived in store. The summer logo clothing seems to be going down a treat so if you haven't got yourself a nice logo'd summer shirt or wind top pop in and treat yourself. The forecast is for cooler temperatures this week so a nice new wind top or sweater will probably not go a miss when you're out on the golf course.

I have also been pretty busy with teaching and custom fitting over the past couple of weeks. The FlightScope is making big waves in custom fitting in particular with some super results showing up. Have a look at Head Greenkeeper John's custom fitting session where he gained a massive 22 yards with the new Epic Driver with a lightweight 40g shaft. A fantastic gain. 

If you are interested in gaining a few yards by getting a club or clubs that suit you please pop in store and we will talk you through it all.

Time and spaces are running out for the Callaway Demo day on Tuesday, 9 May starting at 4pm. If your name is not already down to attend then get into the proshop ASAP before time runs out.

Remember the proshop opening hours have altered slightly. Please have a look below to make sure that you are aware of the new opening and closing times. Summer shop hours in operation: 

Monday-Friday: 7:30am-6pm 
Sat & Sunday: 7am-5pm 

I hope you all have a great week folks.


 

Congrats to Jim Morrison and George Watterson who won the Greensomes on Sunday.


 

Q. Jack and Neil were playing a tie in the Jubilee Bowl. Jack hits a great drive down the 11th; however, Neil's drive goes left, beyond the mound. After 5 minutes of searching Neil declares his ball lost and goes back to the tee to hit another ball , when he gets there he realises that both he and Jack have played from the wrong tee marker posts. What's the ruling? 

Find out what the answer is in next week's newsletter.

Did you get the answer to last week's rule? 

A player moves his ball that is at rest on the fairway when making his practice swing. The stroke counts. 

A - TRUE 
B - FALSE 

Answer: B 
Explanation: The stroke does not count as the player did not have the intention of striking at and moving the ball (see the Definition of Stroke).


 

Sunday, 23 July will be my first Pro's Day, please keep the day free, some great prizes will be available on the day.


 

We have taken delivery of some Volvik golf balls. For those of you who are not familiar with the golf balls, Bubba Watson was using a pink one in this year's Masters. For any of you out there that may struggle to see the ball fly, these balls are as bright as they come. Very brightly coloured. Pop into the shop and you won't miss them.

We still have the latest Garmin rangefinder demo range to try out. The Approach X40, G30 and S20 are super range finders if you are looking to shave a few strokes off your scores.

If you thinking of investing in a range finder pop in and arrange a trial of one of the demo's. 

Take one out on the course and give it a try. 

Pop in store to book your demo experience.
