David Park

Hello Golfers,

Welcome to this week’s newsletter.

I hope you all have had a great week. March is here and there are only four weeks until the season opener. For all that hibernate it’s time to look out the clubs, dust the cobwebs off them and start swinging. Take advantage of the decent winter as the course is looking lovely. Word on the street is it’s never looked this good at this time of year.

I fly out on Monday to Bahrain for my annual trip to take part in the Bahrain Open. I’ve been trying to get some practice in myself for the event and, hopefully, I will manage to put some good scores together. I will keep you posted. But with Graeme and Ross being in charge for the next week or so, please pop in and keep them company.

Enjoy this week’s read.

We now have £971 saved up for the final day shootout, so it looks like we are going to smash the £1000 mark. Well done everyone. The order of merit is really heating up at the top also.

Sunday Club Starting 10/03/19

As I intimated last week Pat Murray and his band of helpers have volunteered to take on the reigns of the Sunday Club. If you wish to play in this then book a time before 10.00 AM and pay the £2.00 entry to the Pro Shop team.

The result will be read out between 2.00 and 2.30 PM. The prizewinners will also be paid out that day so your attendance would be appreciated. This is very much a part of the club’s history so let’s try and get this back off the ground. Spread the word please.

Rules Night

Well that went well didn't it? How can you make it interesting was my worry? Well, Ian Taylor certainly did that. I think it went down very well and I hope we all grabbed something from the evening. I certainly did.

Probably the most important thing that seemed to come up about our own course was the internal out of bounds between the 18th and the 1st hole which is a boundary. There is no relief from the stakes, they cannot be touched, if playing the 18th you have to play it or take a penalty drop. If, however, you are playing the 1st you get a free drop, but do not move the markers.

A big thank you to the club for letting me organise the night and a huge thanks to Ian Taylor for putting on a great presentation. Also congratulations to Jimmy MacLean who won the wee quiz.

Soltire in the sky

Thanks to Tam Smith for sending me in this lovely picture he managed to take one day he was out.

You will know it was on the back nine as tam usually plays the front nine in the dark.

Well done Tam - a cracking picture!

Shop news

What's going on in-store!

New stock is landing daily and remember I will match any price you see online, so don't hesitate to ask. I try my best to monitor what most of the internet sites do but it's not always easy.

Promotions running at the moment are the bag trade in and the FREE grip offer (read below) so take advantage of that and coming your way we have our shoe trade.

Experience the new grip sensation

Have you ever replaced the grips on your clubs before? If you have, then you'll remember how much better it felt to hold onto brand new grips over the ball than old, tacky ones. If you haven't, it could be harming your scores and ability to swing with confidence.

Right now, we have a fantastic promotion running in-store where you can get your 7-iron regripped for FREE! All you need to decide is whether you want a Golf Pride ALIGN grip or a CP2 Wrap. Decisions, decisions.

Pushing the boundaries

Driver technology continues to be the hot topic of conversation in the golfing world, as brands search for ways of giving us more forgiveness, greater distance and better accuracy off the tee. So, which drivers are really pushing the boundaries this year?

Introducing Epic Flash from Callaway

Callaway’s revolutionary Epic Flash driver utilises the power of Artifical Intelligence (or computers) to create an optimum face design that maximises ball speed no matter where you make contact with the ball - helpful when you don't hit the ball out of the centre every time. Coupled with Callaway’s Jailbreak Technology, this driver will offer you ball speed and distance like you've never seen before.

Finding the right club for you can be a serious game-changer and sure-fire way of lowering your scores, and the best way of doing this is by taking advantage of our professional advice during an eye-opening custom fitting.

Bags of fun

As we enter March, you might be tempted for a quick nine holes after work as the days lengthen. That means time is of the essence, so a lightweight carry bag is ideal to take from the boot straight to the first tee. So, guess what? We have done the hard yards for you and come up with the perfect solution...

Titleist Players 4 stand bag

Impressive is one of the many words that spring to mind when you take one look at this bag from Titleist. Not only for its great looks but small details like its dual-density foam ensure maximum comfort throughout your round - vital if you manage to squeeze in the full 18. It easily carries 14 clubs and with several colour options available, make sure you pop in store next time you’re down the club and take a closer look.

I hope you enjoyed this week's newsletter. As always, if you have anything that you'd like to contribute please speak to one of the pro shop team. I'll see you at the club over the coming days.
