Hello Golfers,

What a difference a week makes. First we had the course covered with an army of families and children armed with sledges, roll on a week later and we have an army of golfers eager to play bombarding the course with birdies! Fingers, toes and legs crossed that we have seen the end of the Beast from the East and we can move forward enjoying the course which is starting to take shape for a successful season.

Competition news

On the Course...

On Sunday we held the first Pro Shop Scramble of the year with 80 members enjoying a snow and rain free morning. With every hole used plus two extra teams we expected a slow round, but quite the contrary, with everyone finishing by 1:00pm it was one of the quickest rounds of the year so far…keep up the pace.

The winners of the closely contested Pro Shop Scramble, with a fantastic score of 53.6, were our Lady Captain Julie Burgess, Cam Morris, Claire Morris and their guest Dominic Morris. What a way to start your captaincy and congratulations the Morris clan.

Throughout the year we hold a competition for the most consistent player and they get presented with the Victor Ludoram Cup. This year's winner taking over the mantle of Player of the Year (POTY) from Richard Halifax was our immediate past Captain David Barnett. A season that could be the most successful as an acting Captain of any golf club in the country. Congratulations David.

This year's hotly contested Winter League came down the final round with three teams in contention of winning. Richard Jenner, Gerard Harrington, Paul Harris, Keith Harris, Pat Inns and Dave Kennett stepped up to the tee on Sunday knowing that one of these three teams will win the Winter League. Everyone’s favourite format was all that stood between the three pair… Aggregate Medal. Nowhere to hide in this format with EVERY shot to count. The winners of the final round and jumping to the top of the leaderboard snatching the winter league trophy were Pat Inns and Dave Kennett. Congratulations to you both and as Pat said “a victory to small people”

2018 Pro-Am - Just two months away...

This year’s Pro-Am has been brought forward from last year’s July date to Friday, 18 May which is looming fast. It’s always a fantastic event and if you as members would like to get involved the sign-up sheet is going up next Wednesday. For those of you who don’t know the Pro-Am format is a team of four, one Professional and three amateurs with the best two scores to count from the four. You will receive coffee and bacon rolls on arrival and then enjoy a luxury buffet after your game. There are some great prizes to be won, none more than a chance to snatch £5000 for a hole-in-one on the 13th! The cost for this super day is £180 per team. If you have friends outside the club they are invited in, either to help make up your team or if they have a team themselves it will cost them £270 as an ‘outside team’.
Although we have a super Pro-Am Committee, we are always looking for volunteers to help us run and set up for the event. So if you’d like to lend a hand, please contact Roger Wildig (rwildig@yahoo.co.uk) and he will advise you of what is needed. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Doesn't he look good?

There’s a well-known phrase: if you can’t beat them, join them. So while it’s unlikely you’ll be challenging for a Ryder Cup place later this year, why not join the world’s best in following the latest golf trends?

This Glenmuir Eliot sweater has been getting a lot of attention in our shop thanks to its modern take on a vintage look.

Like all of Glenmuir’s premium knitwear, it’s designed specifically for golf with its lightweight and breathable fabric creating insulation with breathability, so you stay nice and warm but don’t overheat and sweat.

Spikeless or cleated?

Having the confidence to swing powerfully comes from knowing that you have a stable base, which requires footwear you can trust. There are two types of outsole on modern golf shoes – cleated and spikeless – and we stock a range of both here in the shop, including these two fantastic options.

Opt for off-course versatility
With spring finally on our doorstep it’s a great time of year to consider a pair of spikeless shoes. This Under Armour Performance SL model has a waterproof upper and, despite being spikeless, special rotational resistance traction elements deliver all the grip you need on and off the course.

Choose stability and traction
Get the tour look as well as fantastic grip and stability with this Under Armour Spieth 2 shoe. It’s been created with the help of Jordan Spieth and boasts Gore-Tex waterproof protection, lightweight underfoot cushioning and Rotational Resistance spikes that enhance stability and improve traction.
