Wow, what a week! There was success for "The Bear" Jack Senior in his aim to get to ANOTHER Open Championship, read a quick word from his proud coach in today's newsletter. Ryan will be off to Portrush to work with Jack during the week, so make sure you get your lessons squeezed in before he goes.
The course is looking even better and for the first time in 30 years the sprinklers were put into use on the fairways; find out why.
The Pro Am-Am event went smoothly, with some great scoring from some of the Pros. Unfortunately, my lack of playing time led to 74 and 71, but I can’t complain as I enjoyed the day and it was nice to get out there. A big thanks from me to Tony Johnson for his continued hard work for making this event happen. And also, to my playing partners on the day, hope you enjoyed my scrambling masterclass.
We are looking forward to our Professionals Day this Saturday, a reminder that we have space for the fun Pros "Booze Up" event happening from 4:00pm. We would love to see you at some point on the day, but join us for a beer in the evening. We’ve got a fun surprise event on the 10th tee going down during the pairs event into the day. See how you fare in the "Nick and Gav" Challenge....full info on the day can be found in our upcoming events section below. Enjoy this week’s read and have a fantastic weekend.

Heysham at its best
Dave and his team overseeded the 2nd, 12th, 14th and 18th fairways recently, and incredibly for the first time in 30 years, we needed to water the fairways. This water is needed to help the seed germinate. The course looking beautiful this year and we must commend Dave and his team for their hard work as always. |

Members success
A special mention to Dan Weatherill for scoring a ‘Hole in One’ at the 5th last Sunday. In a strange round, he also had an eagle and two quadruples. What a game golf is.
Well done to Andy Tomlinson, he managed to have the golden touch and WIN our Limited-Edition Titleist US Open Staff bag. His new Titleist driver will go lovely in it.
Our young star Lucy Moss was at it again as she was part of the Lancashire Eagles Team victorious over Yorkshire last week at Leeds Golf Club. Go girls!

Coach's Corner
Well as Tuesdays go, this weeks was particularly special, watching Jack Senior win the Qualifiers at St.Annes Old Links. On a very windy day, myself and Jack did a little bit of work on the range before play started which seemed to do the trick. He went out right from the off with birdies, and they never stopped all day. It was quite an amazing display of power and precision; I’ve never seen Jack putt so well. So, Royal Portrush here we come in a few weeks, look out for my head on TV again! I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone this Saturday in our Pro’s Day probably the best event and prizes to be won. Please try and support. Ryan. |

With the golfing season now in full flow, we hope you’re proud to say you’re a member of the club and this fantastic course. It’s for this reason that we have a bunch of crested items in the pro shop, so why not come in for a browse next time you’re at the club? |

A classic piece of golfing attire is the club crested shirt, which is something we're able to offer you thanks to our friends at Glenmuir. They've been creating stylish golf clothing since 1891 and specialise in the art of cresting; so much so that the European Ryder Cup team used them for every event between 1987 and 2014. Well, their current range is an excellent combination of traditional designs with subtle detailing for that added bit of flair - like the hexagonal print detail on the Haddington's chest (fuchsia polo here). So, if you're interested, be sure to grab yourself a piece of Scottish excellence before you next head out onto the course.
