Hello Golfers,

We hope you had an enjoyable Bank Holiday weekend.

I hope you are all well and enjoying the fine weather. The golf course has been in high demand with every tee time getting booked. The next batch of tee times for Monday to Wednesday next week are being released Friday morning at 8.00am. Please contact the pro shop if you are having any difficulties getting a tee time or if you are a key worker.

Due to the high demand for tee times if you find that you can not play after a booking a time could you please cancel your tee time or contact the pro shop who will assist. We do have members who would like to fill these last minute vacant spaces.

Stay safe and enjoy this week's read...

Coaching.

Trey and I are back coaching. If you are in need of some help to get you back out and enjoying your golf please give the pro shop a call and book a coaching session 01743 874581.

We are also available to coach friends and family who may like to give golf a try.

Currently we are not able to coach groups. Only individual lessons or those of you who live within the same household.

Lost on the golf course.

One of our members lost a hip flask on the back nine pre-lockdown. Has anybody found it? If so could you please leave in the pro shop for collection.

World of golf

Could this really happen?

Over the past couple of weeks, we've been lucky enough to watch Tiger, Rory and a select few others take to the course to raise money for charities.

But, it's got us thinking...

With the PGA Tour set to return next month and the European Tour the month after - both without fans for a while - will September's Ryder Cup match between Europe and USA go ahead?

If it does, it'll likely be without spectators but would that be the same spectacle? Think back to Paris in 2018 when the cameras panned around the first tee at the start of each match to thousands of fans in the grandstand. It was a sight to behold.

Let us know what you think by sending us a message here.

New glove, anyone?

As a sport, golf has been given the green light ahead of the vast majority of others.

So, when you do get back out on the course, there's a good chance those crumpled up gloves at the bottom of your bag will need replacing.

We have a great selection of gloves in-store that are still in their packaging, including FootJoy's brilliant range - the #1 glove in golf!

From all-weather gloves to the softest leather gloves around, get in touch with us below and we'll be happy to help you out.

Thoughts for the course

Home advantage is a phenomenon across most sports. In golf, playing a competition or match on a course you know like the back of your hand has obvious benefits. However, when playing a hole for the hundredth time, it’s easy to fall into the trap of playing it the same way you always have. But, what if there’s another way?

Risk and reward - take on the challenge?

This is where the question of risk and reward comes in.

Does the potential risk of bringing danger into play, be it trees or hazards, outweigh the potential reward?

Next time you’re standing on the tee, weigh up the potential risks and rewards of pulling out your driver. Don’t just think about avoiding doubles and trebles, consider the potential birdie or scoring 3-points. Likewise, if you struggle with a particular tee-shot, think about alternative ways to play that hole.

It’s an interesting thought and one that we’d encourage before you next play. Feel free to send us a message and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.

Confident in the challenge?

We’ve all stood on a tee box at some point and struggled to muster up the courage to take out the driver. But, when you do, the key is to commit to the shot at hand, rather than trying to guide the ball down the fairway - something a lot of golfers will be doing after a few months without playing.

Mizuno ST200 Drivers

When opting for the ‘risk’ strategy, you need to have confidence in both your ability to pull off the shot at hand and your weapon of choice. Weighing up the risk and reward in your head is a very different process when you know you’ve got the right tool for the job.

Luckily, there are a few options in Mizuno's range that all offer something different. ST200 is the perfect all-rounder, whilst ST200G offers maximum adjustability and ST200X provides extreme forgiveness. Head to our website to compare them and to watch our review video.
