A friendly reminder...

Please could we remind you to look after your course and keep it tidy.

We ask that you please dispose of your Divot Bags in the dedicated 'box' opposite the Pro Shop.

PLEASE DO NOT PUT RUBBISH IN THIS BOX.

Rubbish bins are provided around the club/course.

Find the short stuff

If you’re an equipment junkie, there’s nothing quite like standing on the first tee clutching the latest driver – especially, with the marketing promise of faster ball speeds and greater distance firmly in your mind. The question is, should this be your number one priority with the big stick in hand?

With the US Open taking place at Pebble Beach this week, one thing the world’s best will need in abundance is accuracy off the tee. Penal rough, fairway bunkers aplenty and the Pacific Ocean combine to create one of the hardest tests in golf.

Introducing TaylorMade's M5/M6 drivers

Two drivers that will be in lots of golfers' bags this week are these beauties from TaylorMade. As well as the impressive ball speeds and distance gains from its Speed Injection, there are two features on the M5 that will help tighten up your dispersion.

First, Twist Face helps reduce any 'gear effect' that comes as a result of an off-centre strike. Combine this with the moveable weights in the M5's T-Track and we can set up your driver to fight any regular misses you might have.

So, what are you waiting for? Come and have a chat to us in the shop and we can start you on your journey to better golf this summer.
