Nice to look at

Pro's Day 2020

A great success...

Thanks to everyone who helped, played and sponsored a very successful Pro's Day 2020. It wasn't the perfect date for it but in the current times, it was the best we could do. Sorry to all of you that couldn't play due to September weekend commitments. Next season, I will hopefully get the date back to a suitable one. Also, fingers crossed COVID-19 will be gone and we can get back to some sort of social activities.

A special thanks to Carole and her staff and Raymond and his staff for keeping everyone fed and watered. Although the restrictions are difficult at the moment, it looked like everyone enjoyed themselves.

I am sure the treasurer will be happy with the cash injection this day brings, even in these tough restricted times. A big thanks to Gerry and his staff also, it looked like the frost was going to scupper the day as it just wouldn't lift. Thankfully, it did just in the nick of time. Having said that the last two games did finish in the dark. A big thanks to them for their patience and indeed everyone who had to hang around to get started.

I did get a few last-minute cancellations due to the delay. Thanks to players who stood in to reduce the number of two balls out there. Thankfully, some of the players who cancelled last left their entry fees in so it didn't hamper the fantastic array of prizes.

Also a huge thanks to everyone who had a go in the raffle. I am going to let it run for a few more days (weekend). I have a decent amount of money collected but holding out for a few more £££. All the profits will go to local charity Hope for Autism who are based in Airdrie. Pop in for a shot if the prizes attract you.

The Prizewinners

A fine array of prizes. Well done to all who won.

Amazing Raffle

Amazing prizes could be yours. Raffle squares still available until this weekend in Pro Shop.

Golf on Tour

The big guns return

It’s been a strange year for the European Tour so far. Cancelled events, rescheduled tournaments and even new tournaments created. The pandemic hit the Tour hard and with relatively modest prize money on offer in the past few months, many of Europe’s biggest names have been Stateside.

This week will be different, though. The likes of Tommy Fleetwood, Matthew Fitzpatrick and Ian Poulter will return for the Scottish Open following the conclusion of the big-money FedEx Cup and the U.S. Open. It should be an exciting week of top-quality golf in East Lothian. We can’t wait!

If watching these big names on TV over the next few days has you purring at the prospect of playing better golf, send us a message and we'll get back to you in the coming days.

The new way forward?

If you ever needed persuading that there's more than one way to play the game of golf, all you need to do is watch golf on TV for five minutes. From quirky swings to innovative putting methods, you'll see it all from the world's best. So, when it comes to your putting, what's the best way to hole more putts?

TaylorMade's new Spider FCG Putter

Well, the truth is you'll need a putter that is suited to your stroke and your preferences when it comes to alignment and feel.

It goes without saying that we can certainly help you in this department, with a huge range of putters available to try in the pro shop.

A new option that we're big fans of is TaylorMade’s Spider FCG. It feels like a blade but with the look and stability of a mallet. The best of both worlds!

If you’re interested in trying the Spider FGC or any other putter for that matter, send us a message below and we'll be in touch.

Modern technology at its finest

Technology has come a long way in the 21st Century, and golf certainly hasn’t been left behind. That is thanks, in large part, to Motocaddy. The trolley manufacturer continues to innovate at the highest level, giving you better products every year.

Downhill Control (DHC) technology

One of Motocaddy’s greatest inventions to date is Downhill Control (DHC), which allows trolleys like the M5 GPS DHC to move downhill at a stable speed without toppling over or running away from you.

Motocaddy M1 DHC and M3 Pro DHC trolleys

Motocaddy's DHC range

It’s not all about how they move, though. Both the M1 DHC and M3 PRO DHC also include LCD display screens and the SlimFold system that lets you fold your trolley into even the smallest car boot! Pop by the pro shop for a closer look.

Video of the Week

Many golfers up and down the country have hit some rather 'interesting' shots since coming back to the course after lockdown. It's not just club golfers though! Enjoy this week's video as we take a look at some of the worst shots hit on the European Tour during the recent UK Swing.

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.
