We all made it back from Benalmadena in one piece, the only casualty was my poor iPhone 6s which is now in someone’s pocket deep in an Irish bar. Despite that my team FINALLY managed a win on the fourth trip away after two Doney wins, a draw and now eventually a Newsham win. Thank you to the 20 lads who made the trip, I wish I had more pictures to share, but I'll leave you with two happy golfing photos from our trip; I think you all know what happened to Maxi! Looking forward to the next trip, anyone who would like any stories can speak to me in the shop, don't want to spill all the beans in the newsletter. |
We did feel sorry for Linda running the ship with the help of Paul at home, the main piece of action we missed was Ken Relph actually NOT playing in shorts and some random March snow; the temperatures continue to stay cold. It is however a good opportunity to pick up one of the last of our bobble hats on sale, some as low as £10! The course has been busy and it you read on you will find what the staff out on the course have been up too as we head into (real) spring and warmer temperatures.

Course update The green staff have been hard at work this week with preparations for spring. The greens are in play and the fairways mowed with fairway protection rules officially now off. Single seater buggies will also now be allowed on the course with double seater buggies being restricted to April 1st, 2nd, 3rd 17th and 18th. This is because with the low temperatures there isn't enough growth to let them go out every day. |
On the Course... The competitions will be coming thick n' fast. This weekend will see the last of our Winter Opens on Friday, with tee times still available after 12:00pm. From there is our Spring Medal on Sunday before we head into the board competitions in April. Last weekend James Dawson pipped John Smith in the Saturday Roll-up event and Steve Lockhart and John Sumner bagged some twos which were worth £12.50. Look our for our next Roll-up event, all extra proceeds go towards the continued back bar restoration. Last Sunday was our spring members' Texas Scramble, a big well done to John Dobson, Ken Relph, Brian Stephenson and Kev Helme. An amazing score of 53.6, maybe it's Ken's lucky pants.

A word from the coach... A big thank you to all that came to our Callaway Fitting Event yesterday. These fitting events are designed for introducing a possible item we might not hold in our fitting studio such as this particular event where we had SIX left handers come along! Check out later on where you can find out our next fitting events coming up. It was great for me to catch up with a few students from last year who have benefited hugely from our short game days and putting evenings. These are essential to give you the tools practice all year round and take advantage of the facilities at Heysham. Below are our next Putting Evening and Short Game Masterclass. We currently only have one space left for our Masterclass Day. Book here or call us in the pro shop.
