Latest News
In my next life I am going to come back as a cardboard salesman because this week we have had numerous deliveries with enough cardboard to build a new clubhouse. However, with cardboard comes new exciting toys for the season and this week hasn't disappointed; we've had new arrivals from adidas, Callaway, Odyssey, Titleist, Wilson Staff, Puma and Cobra. Some of this new gear will be on display this weekend whereas the rest will follow in a gradual shop re-shuffle for the new season. I always get excited when new kit arrives, checking out what I ordered last year to refresh my memory. This week I've found a few awesome bits, the new Odyssey Works range is absolutely tremendous and if you need a new bag the Wilson Staff range is also very good and great value for money as well. Footwear wise the adidas Tour 360 boosts will be popular, they are class but special mention fto the Puma Tour Ignite shoes, come check them out this month. This weekend with our Swing Lounge opening day we are also having a Big Sale, not only to celebrate our new venture but to give you guys a chance to grab a bargain! Later on in the newsletter I will list some of the sale offers we will have this weekend, you can even make an offer for stock and we may just accept it!
Members News
Congratulations to Mark Charnley who managed a hole-in-one this weekend on the 16th hole, and it was in terrible playing conditions. The former Clayton man also had two 2's on his card, I'm hoping he carries on this form to grab a place in the Clayton Trophy this year. This week the Winter League will be a one tee start, hopefully this goes to plan. Also, if any members fancy some more competitive golf we have a Winter Open coming up on Friday, 19 February, book in with me in the shop if you fancy it! Ed, our new general manager, is launching a 200 club we have signed up in the shop, for more information click here or go and see Ed or Richard in the office.
Project Clubfit
For the past few weeks the short game area has been rapidly changing due to the work of Dave and his minion team and this week is no different. We have built the footpath linking the club with the area, ready for the astroturf to be laid on top of the current hardcore path. The hitting areas for both the chipping green and pitching area are now being positioned, to keep it short the area is dug out, framed in with wooden beams and brought up to ground level with hardcore and dust; again ready for astroturf. The plan is to link all these facilities via wheelchair accessible pathways allowing us to hopefully widen the current demographic of golfers at Heysham. Check out the pics to get a bit of an idea and as always come see me to find out more about the Short Game Academy and how it may benefit you!
The Swing Lounge
Join us for our launch day THIS SATURDAY, everyone is welcome ALL day to take part in our Nearest the Pin competition and from 5pm join us for some champers with a few thank yous at 6pm. The Swing Lounge can be booked from Sunday, 7 February and below is a price list, for now please book through the shop and payment can be made on arrival. Alternatively, you can take part in our 2016 Indoor Winter League which starts from our Launch Day. The concept is simple; you play eight courses over 10 weeks with a partner of your choice. The format is nine holes per course, Russian Stableford (bet you're intrigued) and your score goes into a League Table that we will publish every week. The cost is £40 per person and in association with Titleist we have prizes worth over £2,000 down to 10th position, first prize is a NEW Titleist 915 driver each! This is open to everyone, so feel free to enquire even if you don't have a handicap or you aren't a member of Heysham. All you have to do is book a slot for all eight courses (included in your £40) to get your scores in before the end date of March. Click here or pop in to reserve a spot!
