Despite the fears of the Coronavirus sweeping through Heysham (unlikely) we've been quite upbeat in Team Clubfit this week with the Sun coming out for a few days, lots of new arrivals landing in the shop and the fact me and Ryan go to Portugal in 2weeks; Yep… things are looking up! Just don't ask Linda about her Humpty Dumpty fall in the shop when you're next in the shop! So, as I said above 2 weeks until Me and Ryan take a team each to Portugal to battle out in the annual Trev Vs Ryan battle. This year missing Ryan in action because he decided to throw himself onto the floor and break his elbow! Nevertheless, we are on the big countdown, so make sure you are following our Facebook Pages to find out the reports from each day! Before we do go however we need to start promoting a few things we have coming up for you! Namely...a TaylorMade fitting day, a Short Game Masterclass and a putting evening. So, make sure you check out the coaching section for the dates on these, also have a look at some pictures from the golf course this week and have a gander at our Shop News where we have some arrivals, some new shop additions and a quick look at why you should be treating yourself to a new bag this Spring!

Course news This week the green staff have been busy preparing the Greens for the spring season. The Greens have been scarified, tined, top dressed, rolled and had a fertiliser applied. The boys have been doing overtime as well making sure that not only are the greens getting ready for a busy Spring, but the course is further prepared for bad weather. The staff have extended the path off the 7th tee, allowing much of the first 7 holes to be connected in the wet areas by pathway. As you can see from the 7th pictured and the new path by the 4th green, the paths will be topped off with dust next week to make them smoother. |
Always remember though paths are there to be walked on, to take traffic away from the busy grass areas in parts of the course that stay wet during the winter months. That brings us on to.... |

This taken Wednesdays shows these fellows cutting a good 7 seconds off their game avoiding the path on the closed 5th Hole. |

A Word from Mr D
At last a few good days of weather! It’s been brilliant down on the range and not fighting a gale force wind for once. We’ve had some awesome results with technique from pupils on their winter packages. Notably, Will Dearden and Damian Doyle who I’m expecting some really good scores this year, also “Faigs” came down on my Mot package and was literally striping it. I am holding a County Academy Skills test this Sunday with over 50 players from all over Lancashire attending, 15 short game challenges, and working with 4 top coaches from our region and Mike Carney Junior County Manager. I'm just praying the weather holds off. I spent an hour with European Tour Seniors player Gary Wolstenholme working on improving distance, by better weight transference through the swing and achieved a 10/15 yard carry with the driver. It’s literally amazing how accurate he hits the ball. Unfortunately, things aren’t quite improving with my arm as quick as I would of liked and I’m resigned to the fact that I’m not going to be able to play golf in our annual golf trip to Portugal in a few weeks. I’m gutted about not playing with the lads and my old “mucker” and County Foursomes partner Swiss Tony Johnson. So it’s just driving a buggy around dishing out Super Bok and generally taking the “piss”! Good luck to Jack Senior this week on the Tour, Qatar Masters next stop, he’s playing great and upbeat after practice over past couple of days, “he’s said it’s an unbelievable complex, they’ve spent over 100+ million and facilities are probably as good as he’s been to” check his Facebook for more info! Go #bear.

‘Drive for show, putt for dough’. No doubt you have heard this one a few times before but considering putting equates to between 30 to 50% of our shots on the course, it also has a large element of truth in it. |
| Odyssey Stroke Lab Triple Track putters |
|
There's some clever technology out there to help you putt better. For example, Odyssey has taken the Triple Track Alignment from the ERC Soft golf ball and combined it with their Stroke Lab shaft to create this stunning range of putters. |
If you're someone who struggles to line up correctly on the greens, come and try Odyssey's Triple Track putters at Heysham Golf Club. Better putting might just be around the corner. |
