Pro's Day Rearranged
On Friday at 7am, I made the very difficult decision to postpone my 10th Professional's Day, this was an extremely tough call to make 24 hours in advance but with so many factors, I had to make a decision. I had to consider the competitors travelling from far and wide, as well as catering for 160 players, so it was all down to taking on board what the Met Office had to say, and with heavy rain forecast for all day Friday & heavy showers for Saturday my decision was made.
New Date: Saturday, 10 September
This will be my new date and hopefully we will get a better day, at the time of writing I am just about to get in touch with everyone to see if they can play in the re arranged day. The format may change a little; depending on numbers I might have an afternoon shotgun but Info will follow on this later

Growing The Game
Our Tuesday Junior Academy has restarted, with numbers a little quieter than before summer the kids are enjoying the smaller classes. Volunteer coaches Ian, Andrew, Norma, Maureen, Brian, Stuart & Jake are passing on their skills to the boys and girls.
We are now getting 7-10 kids at the new Sunday night medals, these events are played over 6 holes teeing off @ 5pm, this has been a great way to get our new young members into the mode of medal play.

Golf insurance is a must This game is littered with risks, and without wishing to be the killjoys, we really do recommend covering yourself with a suitable policy. As a little incentive, how does 3 FREE Srixon AD333 balls and 3 FREE rounds of golf sound? A nice little extra on top of complete peace of mind from just £24.49 a year. Check out our very own special offers exclusively for you.

A ball fitting can work wonders for your game |
| One of the reasons we like Callaway's clothing is the technology involved that makes its garments so effective in hot conditions - be it Opti-Vent or Opti-Cool. Have a browse when you're next in, especially if you've got a lot of golf planned over what we hope will be a sunny back end of the summer. | | |
