The Restart – Richard Booth Golf

We’re inching ever closer to the start of golf again in England. Hopefully Lee Westwood’s fantastic performance in the Players Championship over the weekend has gotten you even more fired up.

In this week’s missive, I have details of booking golf lessons with me, some dates for your diary, some news from Chris Wood and an opportunity to look at some fabulous new ladies clothing without having to leave the house.

In case you missed it, last week I mentioned about some ladies beginner and junior coaching sessions which are starting shortly. Please click here for more information.

Also in last week’s newsletter, I told you about the 2021 Masters Sweepstake and I was overwhelmed by the response as I sold out of all spaces within twelve hours!! Thank you so very much for all of you who have taken part and my apologies to those of you who I couldn’t accommodate on this occasion.

Timetable of Opening Up Again

I am able to coach from Mon 29th March onwards. The Pro Shop will open from Monday 12th April. The 12th April is also the date that we will be able to use the indoor golf studio again.

From 29/3 to 12/4 I will be operating a click and collect service so you’ll be able to see me at the Pro Shop door and I can get you tees, balls etc and you’ll be able to pay without having to enter the shop. Alternatively tell me in advance what you need and we’ll arrange a way to get the item(s) to you.

Golf Lessons

If you’d like to book a golf lesson to kick start your restart, please click here to use my online booking system. You can book up to two weeks in advance.

Junior Competitions & Golf Access Events

Below are the dates of the junior competitions for 2021 and also for the Golf Access events. Both sets of events take place on Tuesdays and the tee times are from 1630 – 1730.

The former are for junior members of the club. The Golf Access events are for new junior or lady golfers and were well supported when we introduced them last year. They involve playing just three holes from the forward tees initially and then building up from there as your skill and confidence increase. Click here to find out more about Golf Access.

If you would like to enter any of the events, please reply to this email.

Ladies Golf Clothing for the New Season

As many of you know I have been working with Annastasia from Golfing Chix for several years now. She brings along some great clothing ranges to the shop and is able to mix them up regularly.

With retail not opening up until the 12th April, there is an opportunity to buy some of her brand new clothing on a click and collect basis from now onwards. Please note I’ll at the club from Monday 29th March when golf re-opens or I can drop items round at your house before that, assuming you live locally.

Please take a look at the photos below from Tail Golf, Green Lamb & Daily Sports. If there’s anything you like the look of, please click here to send me an email. If you can let me know which item(s) you are interested in and in what size, I will come back to you with a price and whether or not it is available. Happy shopping and thank you for looking.
