Prize Presentation Evening

Well done to everyone involved in organising this evening, it does take a lot of time and effort to set this evening up. Thank you to all the members who attended, it was great to see so many members turn up for the presentation evening. Congratulations to all the prize winners. A big thank you to one of our members James Hughes, who very kindly gave all the monthly medal winners an engraved medal and also donated silver medals to the Club Champions.

Notice from the competitions committee...

Team competitions

Please note that due to the nature of a shotgun start, the scorecard labels are pre-printed. If you receive a scorecard with a wrong players name on due to a last minute change in the team DO NOT hand it in.
You must make sure that you get a new PRINTED label with the correct names on from the pro shop before handing in your scorecard.

The comps committee will DQ any scorecard which does not have the correct names printed on them.

Tick another off your list

It's time to stop putting it off - Christmas is getting closer and closer, so you need to consider what will be going under the tree later this year. We're not just talking about the presents that you buy for loved ones and friends, but also what you want to be unwrapping come December 25th.

Garmin Approach S10

A golfer who is not utilising the immense help that a GPS device provides is putting themselves at a major disadvantage over their playing partners. Knowing how far you have to the green (front, middle and back) as well as hazards is vital to hitting your next shot with confidence, which you can get from the Approach S10.

Garmin Approach S60

If, however, you want a little bit more style and information from your GPS then we'd suggest Garmin's Approach S60. The choice of straps means you can choose one to suit your lifestyle off the course, whilst its full-colour maps and touchscreen face eliminates any guesswork during your round.

Accessorize your trolley

Speak to anyone who owns a BIG MAX trolley and they'll tell you about its fantastic quality and ease of use. Well, no trolley is complete without a couple of accessories to go with it - and they make for the perfect gift for any golfing friends this year, too.

BIG MAX Handwarmer

Winter rounds of golf can lead to extremely cold hands that make you not even want to grip the club. However, these handwarmers will make this a thing of the past thanks to soft and warming plush on the inside, and wind-resistant material on the outside.

Umbrella Holder Pro

The QuickFix Pro umbrella holder is an accessory which is perfect for BIG MAX trolleys. Easy to install in just a few seconds, it can keep the umbrella safely in place and protects your bag and clubs from the wet stuff without any issue.

IQ+ Transport Bag

So you've just finished your round of golf during the winter, and are faced with putting your muddy trolley back into the car without making a mess. Easy! Opt for a BIG MAX transport bag, which houses your trolley so no mud finds its way into your car.

Spotlight: FootJoy Pro/SL shoes

Has there ever been a more popular spikeless shoe than FootJoy's Pro/SL?

Many golfers think that spikeless shoes don't offer the same level of stability and traction as a cleated pair, especially in winter conditions. However, the Pro/SL has quashed this myth, which is one the reasons it dominates amongst tour professionals.

If you haven't upgraded yet, this week sees FootJoy release two fresh colourways to tickle your fancy.

Video of the Week

I hope you have a great week.
