Latest News
Donald Trump is US President. Let that sink in a minute, it's like a hyped up racist version of Alan Sugar running our country, who may do a better job than David Cameron did come to think of it. But it is with that breaking news this morning that I write our newsletter, sadness for over the pond, but at least it may weaken the dollar against the pound, every cloud! I have taken advantage of this little bit of history by featuring Donald in our Swing Lounge, fancy taking a smash at him? Pop in and I'll give you a FREE go, therapeutic golfing for all our members and customers.
Anyway, moving away from the depressing state of world politics we can get excited about the upcoming festive season with just over six weeks to go. Have you thought about what you want for Christmas? Here at Clubfit we have everything you could want for your golf bag, or take some lessons and a relaxing game in our Lounge with a few beers. Check out our Christmas section at the bottom of this email.
We have some fun upcoming events, including our annual 'Demo Sell-Off' night, a huge chance to grab some bargain clubs, some rare deals and a late-night shop opening but more on that later, some Swing Lounge specials and a quick introduction to our new gym partners; 3-1-5.
Members' News
A big thank you to all members that came last Friday for our annual Men's Presentation Evening. Despite a late start on the food and a hold up with our Captain, it went to down a treat. The food was beautiful, well done to Anthony and Julie and a big thanks to the bar staff, especially Lynne for having to pour around 3,000 Jaeger bombs! The bar takings were massively up on previous years and is what this night is about, mainly drinking, but also supporting the club we all love. I would like to thank the members for being good sports, Martin Woodhouse for helping on the night as well as the rest of Comps, particularly Baz Simcox for their efforts throughout 2016. A big thanks to the Captain for taking things well and for having a great sense of humour.
This Sunday is our first Winter League competition after the recent Christmas competitions and challenges, all money won in the past two weeks will be presented in Asda vouchers as HGC tradition. In the Pro Shop we collate all winnings and twos winnings that will be paid on to your accounts in March, syndicates anytime you can let me know your selective group names is fine by me.
Course Update
You may have now received an email informing you of the winter fairway protection rule being put into place, if you haven't please make sure you are aware of the following. The fairway protection policy is now on so if your ball is on the fairway between the orange posts, please lift off the fairway and play your ball from either side in the first cut of rough. Preferred lies in the bunkers is now back on, so if your ball is in a bunker you can mark it, rake the area where your ball is, then replace it.
As for trolleys, on behalf of the club we ask that those who can manage to carry their bag throughout winter instead of using a trolley please do so. This gesture by yourself is hugely beneficial to the golf course and also to those fellow members who need a trolley to carry on playing golf in the colder, damper months. If you have any queries or worries please come see us in the shop and as always thank you to all members for the contributions, efforts and support for the course during the winter months. We couldn't do it without you!

Calling all Gym Fanatics...
This week I have developed a partnership with 315 gym located close to J34 in Lancaster, right at the end of the Bay Gateway. With a 10-minute journey from Heysham now guaranteed, it's a no brainer joining a gym with so much to offer. My first trip was of course the sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi... as I am an athlete already.
I am looking forward to bringing our readers and members news from 315, membership offers and much more in the coming months. If you are interested in looking for a new gym, swapping or simply looking for inspiration, pop into the shop and see me. Keep an eye out shortly for more information.
