Club News

You will doubtless of read or heard that we can as of Monday 1st June move beyond two ball golf.

There are as you would expect already many bookings for next week and we are therefore going to phase in three and four balls over two weeks:

* All groups other than the limited start times from the 10th (7.30am-8.50am) will still start from the 1st.
* Monday 1st June two and three balls (bookings available immediately).
* Monday 8th June two, three and four balls (bookings available from Monday 1st June).

Please note that one ball bookings will not be taken for play before 3pm. Any member or particularly new member who does not have a partner and wishes to play before 3 o'clock should talk to the Pro Shop who will try and find them someone to play with.

Therefore it will not be possible to ring up and book yourself a tee time without naming your partners at the time of booking.

The Golf Group (Handicaps & Comps) will be meeting to determine which Competitions will go on this year having already lost two months of play. We will keep you informed.

With the increase in the size of playing groups and the continuation of a largely one tee start we will be:

* Marshalling pace of play.

* Allowing up to two people at once in both the Pro Shop and changing rooms from Monday 1st June.

Finally, with the increase in playing group sizes, there will of course be even more need to be aware of and practice social distancing and follow the rules for arrival and departure at the Club already published.

Course News

As many of you may have seen over the past the week conditions on the course have altered with the fairways becoming firm and the greens becoming faster.

You may as also seen Lee and his team using a new machine for our greens. This machine is called an air2g2. It's a pedestrian aerator. The machine has three 12 inch tine that get pushed into the green. Then a shot of compression air is forced down through them. This helps relieve compaction, helps drainage, root growth and get air into the ground.

World of golf

It starts with a UK Swing

Since our last newsletter, Rory McIlroy – the number one ranked golfer in the world – has said he “had a hunch” that September’s Ryder Cup will be postponed.

Whilst no decision has been made, the European Tour has confirmed it'll be returning 'behind closed doors' in July. The first event will be the British Masters at Close House; the first of six consecutive tournaments on British soil.

Who knows, maybe by the time the second UK Swing comes around in October – Dunhill Links, Scottish Open and BMW PGA Championship – things may look a little different.

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

It's quiz time!

Golf's greatest comebacks

Everyone loves a comeback. Europe's remarkable victory in last year's Solheim Cup immediately springs to mind.

But, as much as we love watching it happen at the time, can you remember the details? Our monthly quiz for June will test your knowledge in this department.

If anything, it's a great excuse to relive some of golf's most memorable moments.

Good luck!

Thoughts for the course

Chipping is a fine art. It requires precision and skill, both of which may need sharpening after a few months away from the golf course. No shame in that! So, here are a couple of points to remember.

Landing Spots

Don’t focus on the hole. Instead, pick out a spot – a patch of grass on the green – to land your ball on. Consider how the slope and speed of the green, the lie of the ball and the club you choose may affect where the ball finishes after landing.

Practise makes perfect

When on the chipping green, place a towel on your landing spot (as seen in the above image) and take aim. As you get the hang of it, you can fold the towel to give yourself a smaller, more challenging target to work with.

Right tools for the job

Carrying on from our story above, one of the great things about chipping is that there are so many different ways you can play a shot. From high-lofted flop shots to simple bump-and-runs, the choice is yours!

The choice is yours

Callaway MD5 JAWS wedges

Whichever shot you choose, you’ll need wedges in your bag that help you execute it.

That’s where the Callaway Mack Daddy 5 JAWS wedges come into play. These wedges deliver control like never before and are available in 23 different loft and bounce combinations. Oh, and don't forget, you also get to choose between the Platinum Chrome and Tour Grey finishes that you can see above.

If this all sounds a little daunting, that's where we come in! We can guide you towards the perfect set-up to compliment your game. Give us a call on 013030233745 or send us a message.
