Hello Golfers,

Welcome to this week's newsletter, bringing you all the latest news, events and offers from here at Epsom GC. We hope you're having a great week on and off the golf course.

Enjoy this week's read.

Competition news

A fantastic Captain's Ball!

On Saturday both The Captain’s hosted their Summer Ball with well over 70 in attendance dressed up to the nines! Everyone looked incredibly glamorous as the ‘Bubbles’ were served out on the ‘Captain’s Lawn’??!!

Chef Bev served up a lovely three course meal and then the live music got everyone up dancing (even Past Captain David Barnett….twice!) into the early hours.

Another great evening at The Club so keep an eye on the Entertainments Board for the next upcoming event.

The Giffard Cup

With a few sore heads from The Captain's Summer Ball, the Men headed out on Sunday morning competing for the Ernst Sperring trophy (hcp 16 and under) and The lovely Giffard Cup (hcp 17 and over). We did have a few cry offs but I think we can reasonably put that down to the Cricket World Cup Final.

If the golf could get anywhere as exciting as that and also then tennis, then we were in for a good day.

The standard of golf was equal to all the other sporting occasions with Richard ‘Rosco’ Tanner taking the E.Sperring Trophy with a fantastic 42 points. It's great to see Rosco’s new ‘healthy and spotlessly clean’ lifestyle is starting to filter into his golf!

The Giffard Cup was won by our Chairman, Brian Dodson with a fine round of 39 points and both chaps filled up the cups and handed them round as everyone settled in to watch England lift the World Cup.

Club news

Look who I spotted on the telly...!

...none other than last year’s Junior Captain, Patrick Murray, who was only honoured enough to be a ball boy for the Men’s Singles Final but was also interviewed on The Beeb!

Patrick has been a ball boy at Wimbledon for a few years but must be pretty good at it, as I’m sure they only pick the best for The Finals!

Fame at last Patrick...

Shop news

It's your choice

Due to an extra trolley arriving in the incorrect colour, I am offering one NEW Motocaddy M1 Electric trolley with a five year warranted Lithium battery for £499, but as part of this offer, we will also throw in £50 worth of accessories. Umbrella holder, scorecard holder, drinks holder, carry bag….it's your choice.

I've just got the one so let me know as soon as possible and I’ll charge it up and add the required accessories ready for you to drive out of the showroom.

Time to trade-in those old clubs…

A number of you have dropped in those old unwanted clubs after last weeks email for credit in The Pro Shop, but if you still have old clubs lying around gathering dust why not drop them in.

We then get a quote, you say yes or no, and then the credit goes on your Pro Shop account. The only thing we ask is that the clubs are roughly within ten or so years old and are a recognised golfing manufacture.

Click here for more information or give us a call on 01372 741 867.

15% discount on golf shirts ‘multi-buy’

With the hot weather all of a sudden on top of us, why not add a couple of shirts to your Summer Collection. On all Under Armour and Greg Norman plain or EGC logo golf shirts, we are offering 15% OFF when you buy two. Pop in and take a look.

Upcoming events

More bang for your buck

Golf clothing has come a long way from the old-style knickerbockers worn in the early 1900s - you can hardly imagine popping to the supermarket in a pair of those today. Fortunately, these days, golf brands make clothing that is high performing on the course but looks good enough to set the trend off it too.

Glenmuir SS19 apparel

Take this polo from Glenmuir. It's a prime example of on-course off-course versatility thanks to a detailed collar styling and matched shoulder block colour, which produces a sporty look that is perfect for any occasion.

This polo is a worthy addition to any golfing wardrobe, so come in and take a closer look at Glenmuir's range next time you're down the club.

The battle of the trolleys

Yes, it’s time for another battle as we pit Motocaddy’s S1 and M1 electric trolleys against one another to see which one has your requirements covered for both on-course performance and off-course practicality. So, dust off the gloves, sound the bell and let the battle commence...

Motocaddy S1 electric trolley

In the red corner we have the simply stunning S1 electric trolley, which has been updated for 2019.

Everything is at your finger tips thanks to a brand-new high-resolution LCD screen and easy-to-use Quickfold mechanism for easy storage, all of which is wrapped up in this highly attractive design.

Perfect for: Golfers looking for an entry level electric trolley that packs a punch in the features department.

Motocaddy M1 electric trolley

In the blue corner we have the M1 electric trolley, which is yet another brilliant option.

The car-boot friendly profile means this is the perfect trolley for those of you looking to save space, whilst a powerful 230w motor makes this the ideal high-performing electric trolley.

Perfect for: Golfers looking to save space with an easy-to-use, powerful electric trolley that has you well covered on any terrain.

Video of the Week

The final Major of the year is upon us as the world's best descend upon Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland for the first time in 68 years. Here's what Rory McIlroy had to say on this momentous occasion and the course itself. Enjoy the best week in golf.

Thank you for reading and have a great weekend.
