Tulliallan Golf Club

Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another exciting edition of the weekly newsletter bringing you all of the latest goings-on from around the club.

Enjoy this week's read.

Course news

Slow Play

This year we have adopted the ‘Ready Golf’ policy during our medals and it had appeared to be making a difference up until the start of the Club Championship Qualifiers in the past 2 weeks. The pace of play has dropped to an unacceptable rate. There were games coming in on Saturday as much as 4hrs 15mins after they tee’d off. Please make sure that you hit a provisional ball off the tee if there is any chance that your ball is lost. Please make sure that any bags/trollies are left in suitable positions for when you finish putting out. Please fill out score cards on the next tee & not on the green.

Course update

At the beginning of the month we were desperate for the rain to stop and for the course to dry out. 3 weeks later and the course is almost unrecognisable. There has been a power of work put in by the greens team to get the course as good as it just now and we have a product that we can be highly proud of.

We are currently a few volunteers down to due to holidays etc, and one of our volunteers has now finished up for good which is leaving the guys slightly shorthanded. If you feel you would be able to help at all around the course with services such as divot seeding, strimming or fly-mowing, then please let me know and I can pass your details on to David Gillon.

Fitting news

Fitting Equipment

Over the past couple of years, I have put a real emphasis on custom fitting and have chosen to invest money in that side of the business and less on stock. The idea behind this is to allow you try different models and shafts on your own golf course before you commit to a high value purchase.

The demo/fitting equipment we purchase is not cheap, but it is designed to increase clubs sales and return a profit for the golf club. I’ve had several members recently using our demo equipment, asking for my advice on products and have then gone into our competitors to buy products that we are selling for the same price.

I’m sure you can imagine how disappointing this is from my point of view and from the club’s point of view. Please remember that all profits go back into YOUR golf club and we will price match all current product ranges on the market.

Shop news

Motocaddy Trolley

I’ve got a 2-year old Motocaddy S1 trolley with a standard lithium battery for sale in the shop. It’s in full working order, and the battery still has 3 years of it’s warranty remaining.

I’m looking for £225 for it.

Please contact Scott or myself if you are interested.

Create your look

We may be heading into summer soon but it’s still important to have the right clothing on you in case the weather changes. A lightweight mid-layer is the perfect piece to keep in your bag for exactly this reason, and combining it with other layers can create a great look.

Mizuno Stretch polo

Mizuno 1/4 zip sweater

These Mizuno options come in a range of colours. It means that you can drop by and pick up just one item to complement your existing wardrobe, or build a whole new outfit from scratch. If you go for the latter option, we’ll be happy to help you combine golf specific layers so you’ll never have a problem with temperature regulation or feeling restricted, which are two common grievances we hear from members who are replacing high street clothing.

The easy way...

One way to hit the ball further is to swing faster, but more often than not this will harm your accuracy and your quality of strike. An alternative option is to get custom fitted for one of the brilliant drivers we have in-store, where you can swing exactly the same each time and let the correct set-up do all the hard work to gain you yards.

The easy way to gain distance
If you’ve been put off investing in a new driver because you’re worried that your swing needs some work, you’re needlessly missing out on lots of immediate benefits. In reality you needn’t worry about this problem, as modern drivers are very adjustable and allow us to re-optimise them to suit your new swing as regularly as necessary.

Both of these Mizuno drivers offer us the tools to do this thanks to adjustable hosels that let us alter your trajectory higher or lower. The GT180 also has moveable sole weights so we can fine-tune your shot shape. You’ll also find both models have a Wave sole that contracts and springs to increase ball speeds and help you enjoy effortless long distance.
