Island Tee

Still no golf and still plenty of crazy weather here in the UK but not so in Abu Dhabi where Tyrell Hatton had another excellent win. This time it was the HSBC Championship and the victory moves him to fifth in the World Golf Rankings. American Jessica Korda won the LPGA Tour’s Tournament of Champions in Florida by two shots, having shot an incredible 60 in the third round.

New Season, New kit

I’ve been keeping myself busy sorting out pre books for the coming season. I’m thrilled to say I’m going to have the most extensive range of demo clubs ever. The brands that I have demos for are Ping, Callaway and Lynx. So if you are wanting to upgrade your clubs this year, please contact me and following lockdown, we can arrange a complimentary, no obligation demo. That way you can try before you buy to ensure that the new club out performs your current one.

It’s pretty scary investing heavily in the business when golf is in the grip of another lockdown and there isn’t any income. However, like many, I’m hoping that we can come out of this in the Spring and golf will boom again, as it did in 2020.

Pro Am

We had a tremendous response to my plug for the 2021 HGC Pro Am in last week’s newsletter. It takes place on Saturday 10th July. Eighteen of the twenty four places have now been filled and all of the afternoon times have been allocated. So please get in touch before it’s too late if you’d like to enter a team.

Moat

Just look at these three photos of the ladies first tee, following the heavy rainfall of last week, sent in by Howard Gill, Pat Jefferies and Terri Broadbent.

Practice Nets

The photo below is of our hard working greenstaff clearing the trees around the nets by the first tee on Monday morning – and yes look at that, blue sky!!
