New Year, New Lockdown

Happy New Year everyone!

So the snow stopped us initially and now it’s lockdown 3.0…. meh!! We’ll battle through this and come the better weather and lighter nights, we’ll be back out stampeding down those lush fairways once again!

The main thing of course is that you and your families are keeping well. I wish you all the very best during these difficult times.

Kahla Trophy

We did get some golf after Christmas before the snow came in… incidentally I managed to sell a set of golf clubs whilst there was snow on the ground which I’m pretty proud of! We were able to make use of the Swing Room for the fitting.

Anyway back to the golf…. the Kahla Trophy was relaunched on Sunday 27th December with ten entrants. The format is a generational family foursomes competition. The winners with 15 points were Alex and Joe Mills. Second place went to the evergreen Munnerys, James and John, who also scored 15 points but were beaten on countback. The gentleman captain Jonny Yates was around to be able to do an impromptu presentation to the competitors.

Thanks to James Munnery for arranging the event and hopefully it will continue to grow in subsequent years.

Vouchers

I mentioned this previously in one of my December blog posts but it’s worth repeating – despite the inevitable down turn in retail over the next weeks and months.

I want you to be able to shop local and support your Pro Shop as much as possible. So with that in mind, should you have received any gift vouchers for American Golf as a Christmas present, we will accept them in the Pro Shop and give you their full face value. That way, there is no need for you to shop anywhere else šŸ˜ƒ

These are the T&Cā€™s:
(1) all vouchers redeemed must be valid for a minimum of 4 weeks before their expiry date
(2) any vouchers not redeemed in full with have the balance issued as HGC Pro Shop credit
(3) vouchers cannot be exchanged for cash.

Photos

Below are a selection of photos taken by myself and others from the holiday period. They’re broadly in chronological order.

Jan Ravenscroft sent in this action shot of sledging on the 6th hole – hopefully the damaged caused was minimal.
