Hello Golfers,

Welcome to our final newsletter of 2020!

You can expect to see a few more emails off us in the coming two weeks before the end of the year but not with the usual jam packed topics, news on the golf course! So... before I crack on with this week I wanted to send our well wishes and thank yous to our amazing customers. 2020 has been unique, challenging, stressful and demanding. But your support, friendships, custom and humour have still made it as good as it could be. So in our last official newsletter of 2020 I thought I would remind you all of how much we appreciate you!

Thank you from Trevor, Ryan, Linda and Elliot!

Carry on to find out what changes have been made to the golf course this week, PLUS a reminder of our Christmas opening hours and much more.

Enjoy the read!

Course news

Course update

Work has been ongoing to improve areas of the golf course and this week there has been some significant changes to the 11th, 17th and 9th hole.

Starting with the 9th a new path has been created on the right hand side close to the wall to allow the use of buggies and trolleys on the final two holes of the front nine. This work will be part of the plan to allow buggies use of the full front nine via a series of pathways.

Below you can find how work has gone on a change to the front right bunker on 11 and a new tee on 17.

New right hand side pathway
17th
17th before

The 17th back tee has had a clearance of trees that blocked the route to the fairway, plus the pathway down the side of the tee complex has been improved. This picture is BEFORE.

Tee
New tee complex after

This new image shows the new tee has been made bigger and raised slightly than it's original height. The view to the fairway is now much clearer and open.

Bunker
11th bunker before

As you can see the bunker before with a steeper face. 

Bunker
During the work

During the work the face was flattened out considerably allowing a more user friendly bunker to appear

New Look

The areas around the bunker re-turfed with a tidy riveted face and you can see the drainage work in the bottom. Lovely!

Waterproofs to wear anywhere

It’s no secret that buying a good-quality waterproof jacket is a worthwhile investment; perhaps even more so when it comes to golf since you want to not only stay dry but also move comfortably for 18 holes. That being said, our jacket shouldn’t be restricted to just the course, right?

Adidas Waterproof Jackets
adidas' new Rain.RDY waterproof jacket


Style is an important factor, too. We want to feel confident in the way we look whatever we’re doing. That’s why adidas designed their Rain.RDY waterproof jacket to look great both on and off the course.

Whilst the Rain.RDY jacket boasts all the golfing performance you need, like four-way stretch fabric and breathability, it also has a very smart and stylish appearance that works wherever you go. So, if you’re investing in a waterproof jacket this winter, this is one that you should definitely be considering!

It's in the bag!

You’ve got to be prepared for anything on the golf course, whether that’s somebody shouting ‘FORE!’  behind you or a sudden downpour. Given our local climate, I’d say the latter is a particular worry at the moment.

Motocaddy HydroFlex Waterproof Stand Bag

Motocaddy has you covered. Well, they have your golf clubs and on-course accessories covered, at least. Both the Motocaddy HydroFlex stand bag and Dry-Series cart bag are made with a completely waterproof construction to shield your valuables in any weather.

These bags also give you an abundance of spacious pockets, with easy-opening YKK zippers and protection for everything you need on the course, from a spare jacket to your on-course valuables. To explore their full range, visit our website below.

2020's big Christmas quiz

Time for some festive fun (& quizzing)

As this is our final newsletter of 2020, we thought it would be fun to round off the year with our Christmas quiz.

We've gone through this year's golfing highlights and put together some easy (and some not so easy) questions for you to get your teeth stuck into!

P.S. it's an acrostic quiz where certain letters from each question make up a word - can you work out what the hidden word is?

Video of the Week

There are many people both home and abroad who we'd love to thank for helping us get through the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. This week's video from the European Tour does exactly this, surprising a front-line doctor in Dubai at the season-ending DP World Tour Championship. What a special moment.
