Welcome to another edition of our newsletter. This week, we take a look at a rising American star, examine the importance of your wedges to shooting lower scores, and cast our eye over the advantages of having a golf bag suited to the wet weather. Enjoy the read. |

Enjoy it a Little Longer Have you seen the announcement from greens this week? Traditionally the winter protection measures are put into effect immediately after the closing sides match has taken place but due to the current weather and course condition we have decided to prolong the season for as long as it is feasible so that members can continue to enjoy playing off the fairway. We will be monitoring the situation closely and as soon as the weather changes and begins to affect the course we will put the winter measures in place so please check the website and notice boards regularly prior to playing. |
|
Personally, I think this is a fantastic choice, giving you the members the enjoyment of the course and allowing the club to command full rate green fee income for a little longer. The course is in super condition at the moment. Keep playing and bring your friends along for a game, just £20 to play the course is greta value. |

The cold snap arrived for our closing sides match As promised, temperatures dropped over the weekend. Cool winds from the north swept in for the closing sides match which was played in dry but very chilly conditions. I had the pleasure of partnering Mr Captain and we went head to head against the Vice Captain (putter of the year) and Vice President (Mr Marvelous) We had a good giggle, lots of banter and some good golf was played, all in great spirit. Afterwards we were fed with a hearty portion of beautiful hot pot with all the trimmings. I can promise you, if you havent already tested the hot pot, it’s very very good! And of course, the announcement of the past captains nomination for Captain 2020. In tradition, this is announced at closing sides by Mr Captain. The nomination is, Mr Stewart Birchall. Congratulations and on behalf of all the team, best wishes! |

An all-American affair Xander Schauffele showed U.S. Ryder Cup captain Jim Furyk exactly what he was missing at Le Golf National, as he pulled off a stunning play-off victory at the WGC-HSBC Champions in Shanghai. Schauffele clawed back a three-shot deficit to fellow American Tony Finau, making birdies on the final two holes to force a play-off, before making another birdie at the first sudden-death hole to win his third PGA title. Schauffele was named 'Rookie of the Year' in the 2016-17 season, and is proving his credentials once again this year, despite switching equipment manufacturers at the start of the season. If you’re also thinking of a move away from your current set of clubs, come down to the shop and we’ll get you fitted down to every last detail! Request a fitting here. |
Winter is coming, but we know that won't prevent you avid golfers getting out on the course to face biting winds, muddy shoes and, most of all, rain. Lots and lots of rain. With this in mind, it's more important than ever to have a golf bag which will keep your clubs and belongings dry during a downpour. |
Introducing BIG MAX Aqua Space This is where a cart bag like the Aqua Space comes into play. This bag has been designed with 100% waterproof material, including nine taped-seam waterproof zip pockets so that everything will be kept dry for the whole round no matter what the weather holds in store. The nine pockets also mean it's spacious enough for your extra layers (think waterproofs, jumpers, woolly hat, mitts etc) whilst there are specific holders for your umbrella, towel and glove; you’ll be ready for whatever gets thrown at you this winter. |
