Hello Golfers,

Welcome to this week's newsletter bringing you all the latest news in the club which has been interrupted with some snow, a correction of last week's result, and announcement of a brand we're welcoming back in-store. Enjoy the read.

Pro's news

First of all...

My Apologies for the mistake in last week’s news which was swiftly pointed out to me, but a bit too late as the newsletter had been sent.

But it was the Heidbangers who were successful this year with Captains Jim Craig & Logan Young leading the team to 14-12 win.

Club news

It's 'snow' joke...

Unfortunately last Saturday we lost a day of golf to the winter weather.

A freak snowfall around the high parts of Gourock saw us completely covered in snow and again today (Tuesday) we have been hit by more snow plus freezing temperatures.

Let’s hope this ice cold blast doesn’t last too long

Shop news

Welcome back!

I am delighted to announce that this week I have signed a deal to bring COBRA Golf back into the shop and be a fitting centre.

This innovative brand is about to launch the KING F9 product range and the good news is you will be able to try the range on course and in the Development Centre very, very soon!

Coming soon: Callaway Epic Flash

This time two years ago, we were sitting here in fascination as Callaway introduced Jailbreak Technology for the very first time. Fast forward to now and Callaway is bringing the Epic Flash to market, which they say has a 'radically different face design' that will promote faster ball speeds and, in turn, greater distance. We now have full fitting components for the whoe range - woods, fairways and irons - so book in your custom fitting today.

You can't go wrong...

The last thing anyone wants is to purchase a new set of irons, only to struggle massively when they take to the course with their friends a few days later. Sound familiar? Well, with lots of new products about to land in-store for 2019, here are a few iron models that we recommend having a custom fitting for...

The M5 and M6 irons from TaylorMade are designed for explosive distance, thanks mainly to the innovative Speed Bridge structure that helps stiffen the clubhead to generate higher ball speeds - visible technology that you can see in the images above. The M6 is designed for maximum forgiveness - something that we can all benefit from - whereas the M5 is suited to the better player who is looking for more distance without sacrificing control.

Hopefully, you have an idea of which iron you'd like to put in your bag, but it's not until you come and visit us for an enjoyable custom fitting that you'll know which iron and shaft combination performs best for you. We're here to help you play better golf.

It's time to get away

Being part of a golf club brings many other benefits than simply being able to play in competitions. Take the social aspect for example; you make lots of friends - some for life - that you spend time with most weeks out on the course, but have you thought of taking those games abroad?

Morgado Golf & Country Club

If you want to get away with your golfing friends then this needs to be at the top of your bucket list. Morgado is a new luxury golf resort that is not just one of the best golf resorts in the Algarve, but the whole of Europe. Spend some time here and you'll head home feeling relaxed and refreshed.

Spotlight: Epic Flash driver

This time two years ago, we were sitting here in fascination as Callaway introduced Jailbreak Technology for the very first time, which produced significant distance gains for a lot of golfers.

Fast forward to now and Callaway is bringing Epic Flash to market (arriving here in a couple of weeks), which they say has a 'radically different face design' that will promote even faster ball speeds and, in turn, even more distance.

I hope you enjoyed this week's newsletter. As always, if you have anything that you'd like to contribute please speak to one of the pro shop team. I'll see you at the club over the coming days.
