Welcome to another edition of our newsletter. This week, we take a look at a rising American star, examine the importance of your wedges to shooting lower scores, and cast our eye over the advantages of having a golf bag suited to the wet weather. Enjoy the read. |
The cold has arrived The cold weather arrived with a bang last weekend and fortunately we have everything in store to suit your needs during the winter! We have just taken delivery of some new mitts & neck warmers. I would consider both items essential when that Northerly wind blows like it did last Saturday! We also have new Island Green bobble hats available in 4 different colours. |

Winter Golf
We will be moving onto the winter route from Monday 5th November. This also includes the compulsory use of mats on the fairway from 100 yards in. The alternative option is to take the ball into the semi rough.
As always, we want you to enjoy your golf through the winter, but also remember take care of the course during the poorer weather. Therefore, we would ask that you use winter wheels on electric trolleys to protect the course, but also to protect your battery.
If you are playing in frosty conditions, please remove any build up of ice on your shoes before walking on to the green.
Thank you for your co-operation.

An all-American affair Xander Schauffele showed U.S. Ryder Cup captain Jim Furyk exactly what he was missing at Le Golf National, as he pulled off a stunning play-off victory at the WGC-HSBC Champions in Shanghai. Schauffele clawed back a three-shot deficit to fellow American Tony Finau, making birdies on the final two holes to force a play-off, before making another birdie at the first sudden-death hole to win his third PGA title. Schauffele was named 'Rookie of the Year' in the 2016-17 season, and is proving his credentials once again this year, despite switching equipment manufacturers at the start of the season. If you’re also thinking of a move away from your current set of clubs, come down to the shop and we’ll get you fitted down to every last detail! Request a fitting here. |
Preferred lies Now that the clocks have gone back and we find ourselves edging towards winter, many golf courses will have introduced a Local Rule for 'Preferred Lies'. When this is in force, it allows you to mark, clean (especially important if your ball is covered in mud like in this photo) and place your ball within six inches of where it has come to rest, providing it was on a closely mown area - i.e. the fairway. If you're unsure on this or any other rule, please come and speak to a member of the pro shop team. |

Winter is coming, but we know that won't prevent you avid golfers getting out on the course to face biting winds, muddy shoes and, most of all, rain. Lots and lots of rain. With this in mind, it's more important than ever to have a golf bag which will keep your clubs and belongings dry during a downpour. |
Introducing BIG MAX Aqua Space This is where a cart bag like the Aqua Space comes into play. This bag has been designed with 100% waterproof material, including nine taped-seam waterproof zip pockets so that everything will be kept dry for the whole round no matter what the weather holds in store. The nine pockets also mean it's spacious enough for your extra layers (think waterproofs, jumpers, woolly hat, mitts etc) whilst there are specific holders for your umbrella, towel and glove; you’ll be ready for whatever gets thrown at you this winter. |
