Welcome to another edition of our newsletter. This week, we give you an update on the course, encourage you to re-grip your clubs for the new season and keep you up-to-date with the latest competition results. Enjoy the read! |
'Snow worries!' The weather has been, in golfing terms, pretty great for Scotland at this time of year and we’ve not had too much to complain about! We’ve had little frost, not too much rain and growth across the greens. Therefore, we’ll just hope that this snowfall is nothing to worry about and you’ll be out in the short sleeves again soon!

Course updates During the last week, the greenstaff have managed to tidy up the bin storage area which was blown down last week, as well as removing a large quantity of waste material. As per our irrigation contract, we had our irrigation housing units cleaned, maintained and upgraded. This will help keep the system working more efficiently and providing a higher volume of water to areas that were needing updated. Hopefully, the system will get as much use as last year! |
New year, new grips We have a special offer running on some Golf Pride grips whilst stocks last. We are offering Multi-Compound Align and Tour Velvet Align grips for ONLY £9 per grip. These are normally priced at £12. If you purchase a minimum of 8, then we will fit them for just £8 per grip! Align technology was introduced by Golf Pride last year and is designed to increase consistency in your hand placement, therefore increasing your awareness of the clubface throughout the swing. Pop into the Pro Shop for more information.

Rule changes evening As most of you should be aware by now, there have been quite significant changes to the Rules of Golf which have come into effect since the beginning of the year. We will be hosting an evening in the clubhouse next month to discuss these changes. I will inform you of the date in next week’s newsletter. In the meantime, I would suggest that you familiarise yourself with these changes, which are available from either the R&A website/app or through the Scottish Golf website.

A tense final hole... It was a shock win for world number 417 Adam Long, as the American claimed his maiden PGA Tour title at the Desert Classic in California. A bogey-free card for Long – in what was only his sixth tour event – led to a final round of 65, finishing on 26 under. He fought off stiff competition from the considerably more experienced Phil Mickelson, who was left ruing a lack of composure on the greens, as he finished one shot behind Long. Mickelson had carded an opening round of 60 – his best ever round on tour – but he failed to cling on to his lead as Long claimed a well-deserved victory. On the European Tour, it was an equally nerve-wracking end in the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, with Shane Lowry emerging victorious by one shot over South African Richard Sterne. It was the first victory on tour for Lowry since August 2015, and signals a return to form for the Irishman. A test of nerve was required with both Lowry and Sterne level on the 18th tee, but Lowry’s birdie at the last sealed the win. |
The last thing anyone wants is to purchase a new set of irons, only to struggle massively when they take to the course with their friends a few days later. Sound familiar? Well, with lots of new products about to land in-store for 2019, here is an iron model that we recommend having a custom fitting for... |
Mizuno's JPX919 Hot Metal iron is packed with stunning features to help you hit more greens in regulation than ever before. As its name suggests, the Hot Metal produces extreme ball speed for greater distance whilst maintaining a lovely ball flight. The great thing about Mizuno is its DNA fitting software. In just three swings, this unique system will tell us which iron model (7 to choose from) will be best suited to your swing, as well as giving us a choice of shafts - the engine of the club - that'll really allow us to make sure you walk away with the perfect set for your game.
