It's great to see you all back at The Club again, shame about the weather but I see that its not stopped the diehards out there this week.

Wanted to kick off with a big thank you to our Head Greenkeeper, Craig, who gave up some of his annual leave during the Lockdown to allow us to take opportunity to create a new pathway from around the back of the 12th green and through the tees on 13th. The area had been getting increasingly muddy through the winter so this path has tidied up the area and will improve the conditions for play if you run through the 12th green.

If however, you are a tad aggressive approaching the 12th and find yourself on the path, please take Full relief, no nearer the hole under NO penalty.

As always, this week's email is packed full of useful topics to help you enjoy better golf. If you have any questions for the team or would like advice on anything, we're always happy to help! Just drop us an email.

Enjoy the read.

Competition update

This weekend we have the first opportunity to test out your NEW World Handicapping System ‘Handicap index’ in The Pro Shop Stableford. If you would like to enter please sign in and pay your £5 entry in the Pro Shop. Its open to ALL members but please remember that the new individual allowance is 95% of your ‘course handicap’. That’s the number you get from the WHS charts around the Club (if not sure ask when you sign in and we’ll go through it with you). Results will be sent out on Monday as normal. Please use the Club V1 app or the PSI screen in the Hallway for score entry and good luck to all.

Next weekend we have the annual Turkey Trott and although Sunday is almost full up we have a few tee times available for Saturday. If you have a team or are looking for a game, please let me know and we will get you allocated and let you know. Alternatively, the list is up on The Men’s Competition Board.

Pro Shop Christmas offers

With only a few weeks to go, the decorations have now gone up so time to get those Christmas lists written. We have a fully stocked Pro Shop if you would like to pop in or send down the other halves. Alternatively, we can offer Christmas Vouchers for lessons and Pro Shop credit and these can be purchased either in-store or over the phone and sent out by 1st Class the same day.

As you walk in The Pro Shop we have a Christmas gift table with plenty of stocking filler ideas from EGC headcovers to EGC logo sweaters. If you turn left when you walk in you’ll see the Full range of Under Armour Winter clothing to keep you toastie through the cold months with sizes from medium to XXL.

New from Motocaddy & Garmin rangefinders

The perfect gift to work out exactly what club you should be raining in on that pin with are either the NEW Motocaddy Laser Range Finder (£269) or the Garmin S10 Approach watch (£129).

Both will give you the spot-on yardage so for one of these or some advice on others in the range please call or drop in to The Pro Shop.

Under Armour Shirt Special

I have a FULL rail of Under Armour golf shirts just arrived in at a special price. These shirts are all from next years collection and would normally range from £49 - £69 but they are offered to you for;

- 1 for £30, 2 for £55 or 3 for £75.

I’m afraid all are large size only so get in quick before they all disappear.

Decide to drive

Most golfers will know that tee-box toss-up of whether to take the driver out or not. How far can you hit it? Can you hit it straight enough? Put simply: Is it worth it? You’ve got to be sure, but many golfers aren’t.

Lynx drivers make you feel confident. The Predator drivers have large clubheads for forgiveness on off-centre strikes. Meanwhile, the Parallax drivers boast a BiTitanium crown that generates easy distance. Lynx’s Prowler VT SFT allows you to adjust the loft to your needs.

Every driver offers something different, but they all deliver effortless distance and straight, forgiving ball flights. That means you’re gaining more and risking less with Lynx drivers.

Christmas shopping made easy

This year, more than any other, Christmas presents are being bought online from the comfort of the sofa. However, you may want to get out and about, you may want personal service from real people, or you may simply want to support your local pro shop (we hope!).

Click & Collect this Christmas

Fortunately, we have a solution. Our online Click & Collect service allows you to order what you want from the comfort of your home and have it delivered to the pro shop for collection. It’s easy, simple and convenient.

With Christmas just around the corner, this is perfect for all gifts. Whilst we only have limited space in-store, Click and Collect allows you to shop from more than 20 brands for clothing and shoes alone. That’s not all, though. Choose from luxury items like GPS devices and electric trolleys to golf balls and novelty headcovers!

Video of the Week

The dreaded shank might just be one of the most soul-destroying shots in golf! Well, it might please you to know that they happen more frequently than you expect to the world's best too. So, enjoy this week's video from the European Tour - is this the best shank ever seen?

Thank you for reading and have a great weekend.
