Welcome to this week's newsletter,
I am sitting writing this on the day of my assistant's 80th birthday!!!! So what can I say about this young man, seen here aged 15, on his way to play in the local flute band.
John has been a volunteer in my shop for the past nine seasons, before me he helped out some of the other PGA professionals but has served on all committees and been a huge help to GGC as a whole. From divoting to Match & Handicap, he does it all. The 6am starts on Saturdays allowing me to arrange lessons and play in tournaments - I don't quite know what I would do without him!
Happy birthday lethal, enjoy your day.
As you may have seen previously, I am running my Annual Customer Survey on the website. This survey will be used to help me improve the services I offer you in store. Not only that, but if there are brands which you are looking to buy but do not to see in store then this is your chance to say!
Some feedback from a few of you has been that there seems to be a point in the survey when you can't progress any further, which I would like to clear up now. On the second page, whereby you are asked what clubs you have in your bag, you need to click at least 10 of the options to be able to progress through to the next part of the survey. If you haven't got 10 clubs in your bag, can I ask you to tick the extra amount of options so that you can progress.
I would like to use this part of my newsletter to say thank you to all of you who have already completed the survey and to ask those who haven't to spare five minutes of your time to complete this survey - simply click here. It will not only be an asset to me, but it will also be of huge benefit to you, my customers. My thanks in advance.
This week we are continuing to clear out the summer stock, we still have few bargains on the SALE rail and a good selection of shoes as well. Please come into shop and grab a bargain whilst stock lasts.
Our Ryder Cup promotion is still on with only a few polo shirts and jumpers remaining - buy any RC garment and receive a sleeve of Pro V1 for FREE!
This week we will be hosting our annual Sponsors' day. This event, on Friday, is our chance to say thank you to the people and the companies who support us throughout the year. Taking place between 11.30am & 1.30pm, this fun scramble will hopefully allow you to enjoy the beautiful weather and get to play the course whilst it is still in great condition.
Over the weekend we are very busy with lots on:
Saturday - Srixon/Cleveland monthly medal. Saturday night the club will be packed with people dancing away to local band Broomberry Drive - a limited number of tickets are still available to purchase.
Sunday - our Firth of Clyde team host Largs. Our ladies host their annual Mixed Pink flag event, this fundraiser in memory of Lesley Stevenson is a great event please pop up to buy some raffle tickets to support the charity. Sunday Afternoon sees the 2014 Finals day take place, all of this year's finals are to be played between 2 & 3pm. Please call the shop if you are looking to book a tee time as it is going to be a busy golf course.
Ryder Cup - As I eluded to in last week's newsletter, we are going to run a competition on the morning of the final round, a fun 9 hole Texas Scramble with tee off anytime in the morning. Teams of 4 -made up of members and guests to the club will be played with some great prizes. Entry will be £5 per head and will include some food when your golf is finished.
