Congrats to Olly and Sally

Well we got comps played on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturay of last week which is great news. We reported on the SeniorsTexas Scramble in last week’s missive but the other results are below.

The men’s Bogey Final is scheduled for this Saturday.

Captains’ Drive In Sweep

The three Captains to be are running a sweep on the day of their drive ins (Sat 23rd March). The idea is to guess the cumulative length of the gentleman, lady and junior captains drives (in yards). The price is £5 to enter.

Half of the proceeds are going to Gill Kay’s charity, Prevent Breast Cancer, that she has nominated for her year. The other half is going into the pot and the winner will take all, in the form of Pro Shop credit. Your support would be much appreciated. Pleas email or call into the Pro Shop to take part.

Price Match

We’ve started a campaign to let people know that we price match. Financially it is not viable for us to carry lots of stock. However it’s really important that you know that we can get hold of huge numbers of products quickly and at competitive prices. So if there is something that you would like, please give us a try. If for some reason, we can’t get the product, we’d let you know very promptly and be delighted that you made contact with us.

By way of some background, turnover for the shop is challenging for several reasons:

  • we are a nine hole course and so have fewer members than other clubs
  • we have limited numbers of visitors and societies
  • the costs of running the business continue to increase
  • the huge growth of online retail
  • and this dreadul winter has only compounded things further

So you can see why the support of the members continues to be the lifeblood of the Pro Shop. Thank you.

Bogey 6

Well done to Oliver Mills for winning Bogey 6 on Saturday with three up. It’s so great to see his game progressing. His Handicap Index is now below 18 so well done Olly. Dave McGlennon finished as runner up with two up pipping Ian Goulty into third spot following a card play off. Just three twos were recorded during the competition.

Ping Demo Day

Are you interested in some new Ping clubs? if so, why not book in on the demo day with expert clubfitter Alex Mason. It’s taking place on Friday 10th May with slots from 10.40 onwards. Hurry though as there are only five slots left!

Ladies Front Nine Stableford

Well done to Sally Wright for winning last week with a cracking score of 23 points. Kairen Seaton, the previous week’s winner, was second with 20 points. Amanda Greaves scored 19 points to finish third beating Clare Withey on countback.
