Shop news

Christmas Is Coming!!

Apparently Christmas is on the way as we have already had some very organised early Christmas shoppers buying for their loved ones.

We have a great selection of clothing and accessories etc. for you to choose some great gift ideas. We are also able to offer you some attractive personalised Gift Vouchers and of course Lesson Vouchers which always make a welcome Xmas Gift.

You can buy anything from just 1 half hour lesson to a Full Year Ultimate Lesson Plan.

We have just received a great range of Quality Luggage at great prices which also make great gifts, they are from a company called OUUL and are really fabulous quality with a Duffel type Holdall and a small rolling suitcase at JUST £39.99 and £59.99.

Try Before You Buy

We have always had a try before you buy policy on Equipment and we have now extended this to...

Garmin GPS Products, so that you can play 18 holes with a FREE Trial of either the Approach S20 GPS Watch £159 or the Approach X40 GPS Golf band £179, both great products to help your game.

Save yourself the stress of Xmas shopping and come along to your Local Pro Shop where there is FREE and easy parking, a friendly welcome, great choice and excellent value.

Competition news

Winter Competitions

The first of the popular Winter series starts on Saturday 3rd November and we will again be running the 2 x 2 tee start and also there will be the usual Halfway house refreshments.

Course news

Winter Course Work

You may have noticed the pathways being put in for buggy use on the 12th and 14th holes, this will enable us to offer members with ride on buggies the opportunity to play at least 9 holes when ground conditions wouldn’t normally allow.

The working party have been helping our greenstaff with the work and done a great job so once again a big thank you to all involved.

Club event

Rules Night - Tuesday 4th December

I have organised PGA Rules official Simon Edwards to come along on the 4th December to go through the New Rule changes due to come into force in January, this will be a very informative couple of hours and I hope you can make it.

It is FREE to attend for members but please let me know if you are attending so that we are aware of numbers.

Golf trip

Portugal Team Event

There are just 2 places to fill for the team event to the magnificent Quinta do Lago in March. Last year our Ashton Team Captained by yours truly won the inaugural event. Come and have some fun and play on 3 of Europe’s finest courses.

Please contact me in the pro shop for more details if you would like to join us.

A little help from my friends...

Seeing the 'Holy Trinity' of Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas and Rickie Fowler having a great time together whilst playing the best courses in the world can leave you feeling a bit envious. Sure, you and your friends have a good enough time down at the club, but you might want to experience something truly special all together - a golf trip away.

Close House

Have you ever played a European Tour venue? Well, here's your chance to tee it up at Close House - host of the 2017 British Masters - courtesy of Your Golf Travel. With 18 stunning holes and a mouth-watering restaurant on site, Close House is the perfect venue for a trip away with some of your golfing buddies.

Go the distance

We've all been there - around 75 yards out and faced with a tricky little pitch shot towards a tight pin; danger over the back and a tier just before the flag that will take anything short down to the front edge.

The first stage in overcoming potential card wreckers like this is knowing how far you hit a full shot with each of your wedges. The second is having three different distances that you can comfortably hit with each, adding to your options when faced with this scenario.

Cleveland CBX

One wedge which will offer you the versatility required for absolute precision in distance control is Cleveland’s CBX. The cavity back design gives you the forgiveness you need when faced with a difficult pitch shot, as well as short game versatility. The centre of gravity is positioned behind the face, which aids the feel and also gives you supreme distance control, meaning you’ll be confident of avoiding danger both in front and behind the green.

Video of the Week

The new TS drivers from Titleist have been causing quite a stir around the club since their launch last month, and it's easy to see why when you watch this video review.

I hope you have enjoyed this week's update.
We hope to see you soon
