Pro's news

Hi Folks,

The cold weather continues, and it doesn’t look to be going anywhere anytime soon. All the more reason to pop in and have a look at our new winter range of clothing and accessories in the shop. There are some fantastic pieces including winter snoods to keep your neck warm, padded jackets, lined sweaters and of course warm winter mitts. Black Friday sales will also be coming up soon, we are going to run the event from Monday the 19th – Sunday 25th November. There will some great bargains during this period so pop in and grab yours.

We also now have a sale rale in the shop with all our remaining sale items so come in quickly and get the great deals whilst stocks last.

Jordan and myself had a great holiday last week. The golf as expected on a holiday like that was very bang average but the company and the social life was great fun. Looking forward to getting back into the swing of things now and try and hit the winter practice hard.

Also a good day for Mark next day as he has his graduation from Uni. A great day for him and his family to enjoy. Congratulations Mark.

The clocks have now changed which means we are operating under winter hours. Please have a look at the winter hours below:

Monday-Sunday 08:30 - 15:30

Competition days 08:00 - 15:30

Have a great week.

Are you struggling to score?

It might be easy to lose the motivation for golf in this type of weather but that makes it the perfect time to start working on your game so its ready for next season. Putting together a lesson plan for the winter period is the best way to make sure there aren’t any parts of your game letting you down.

Gareth offers individual 45 minutes lessons for £30 to get you started for some quick changes but if you want to work on your game over the winter the block of 6 lessons for the price of 5 (£150) is the best way to get a proper winter plan in place.

Are you struggling to score on the course or want to know what part of your game to start working on first? On course 9 hole lessons with Gareth are ideal for this as he can see hat you are doing on the course and suggest what you may need to change or even how to approach a certain shot. These can be booked for £60 or you can use two of your block lessons together.

Once you’ve worked on your game and feel like your swing is working well gapping sessions are also available. So many people don’t take enough club or don’t even know how far their clubs go so gapping for only £35 can help you hit more greens and save a lot of shots.

If you need help with your game get a lesson booked in by either calling in to the shop on 01292 473904 or stopping in, this can be done in advance or if any early cancelations are available we can let you know. One of our staff will be happy to help.

Course update

Now that preferred lies are in operation Verti-draining fairways and solid-tining surrounds has now been started. So far this has been carried out on 8 fairways and weather permitting this will be completed early November.

Temporary greens have been cut and white lined. These have all been marked and will be treated as GUR. Signs have been posted to remind golfers their ball must be lifted outside the white lines. These greens will be in play during extreme weather conditions and when work is being carried out on the main greens.

Play from fairway mats within the area of the white posts will commence from 14th of November. Rules and conditions of play will be added to the main website in early November.

Weather permitting essential hollow coring and sanding greens will be carried out the week commencing Monday 12th of November. Temporary greens will be in play while this work is being carried out.

Tour news

A story of what could have been...

It was all-change at the top of the world rankings yet again, as Justin Rose reclaimed the number one spot after winning the Turkish Airlines Open. The Englishman beat China’s Li Haotong in a playoff after both players finished on 17-under-par.

For Li, it was certainly a story of what could have been after a series of near-misses down the final stretch. To compound his misery further, Li had a makeable putt on the first playoff hole to claim victory, only to race his first attempt a few feet past before failing to hole the one coming back. A three-putt for Li and a second consecutive Turkish Airlines Open victory for Rose, securing his place back at the summit of the world rankings.

Electric dreams

Winter golf can be very enjoyable if you're fully prepared, but a thing of nightmares if you're not. We know many of you use a Motocaddy electric trolley to transport your bag around the course, but do you have the correct winter accessories attached to get you through your round?

Deluxe Trolley Mittens

Designed to fit any Motocaddy trolley, these are perfect for any golfer whose hands suffer during the winter. As well as providing maximum warmth, these fleece-lined mittens also improve your trolley's control across any slippery surface you might happen to come across.

Hedgehog Winter Wheels

If you play a lot of golf during the winter - either here or at another club - the chances are you'll be asked to use 'winter wheels' on your trolley to help protect the course. They come with an anti-skid tread design, and are designed to reduce turf drag in wet ground conditions.

Universal Umbrella Holder

We all know how frustrating and time-consuming it can be putting your umbrella up and down between shots. With this umbrella holder from Motocaddy, you'll be able to keep yours up for the whole round - just make sure you've got an accessory station if you have a new M-Series trolley.
