Greenkeepers start winter programme

Well it is that time of the year, Gerry and his team have started the Winter work to the greens and course.

Although the hollow coring is not great for us to putt on it is vital in getting the air and nutrients into the ground. It's pretty hard to argue with it given how good the greens and indeed the course has been last couple of years.

Here is some footage of the boys in action and how much work it involves.

Masters Sunday - Sunday 15/11/20

Wishaw Golf Club Masters Sunday takes place annually, this is where you have the chance to win the Green Jackets. This day is usually a very social occasion although this year may be different. I still intend to run this for the club.

We won't be able to kick back and watch the final day as normal, 2 massive hurdles, the bar probably won't be open due to Corona Virus and we don't subscribe to Sky Sports at the minute. Look out for email that will hit your inbox very soon explaining the format of the day.

Golf on Tour

It's not over yet!

The golfing season would have pretty much finished by this point if it were a ‘normal year’. The men’s game would have named its four Major champions, the women’s game its five big winners, and another cracking Ryder Cup enjoyed.

Sadly, this hasn’t been the case but the good – okay, great - news is that there are still two Majors left to play: an autumnal Masters Tournament from Augusta National and the U.S Women’s Open from Champions Golf Club.

We'll find out who'll be wearing the Green Jacket in just a couple of weeks, and the world’s best are certainly finding their A-games in preparation. Patrick Cantlay won the weekend’s Zozo Championship by one shot from Justin Thomas and Jon Rahm; Rory McIlroy made a record-breaking 29 birdies over the same four days, albeit he mixed them with 8 bogeys and 3 doubles; Hatton and Fitzpatrick are performing well both sides of the Atlantic; DJ is fresh off the back of his FedEx Cup triumph and Bryson is testing longer driver shafts as his looks to dominate Augusta.

We’d love to know who you think has the best chance of winning this year’s Masters. Also, are you excited to see how Augusta plays in November compared to its traditional April slot? Send us a message via the button here.

Just keep spinning

Picture the scene: It’s pouring with rain, you’re out on the course, wedge in hand, staring at the pin. Hopefully, you’re dressed for the occasion - wrapped up in your waterproofs and woolly hat - but is your wedge ready to perform in the wet?

Clothing for the cold

We can’t control the weather, but we can protect ourselves from it. Unfortunately, it is starting to get colder outside but that doesn’t mean golf has to be put on hold, though, does it? Enter adidas' latest clothing collection, which is available at Wishaw Golf Club.

It's a sportswear brand that we're all familiar with, so you know any item you buy is going to give you everything you need on the course. Our favourite piece is the Cold.RDY pullover and vest that you can see pictured above, perfect for winter golf!

Both of these designs are made with insulating technology that retains body heat, whilst stretch fabric means you can swing freely without restriction. Visit our website to have a look at exactly what's available - you won't be disappointed.
