Welcome to my weekly news, and it's a cold frosty week at GGC

Our course has been on permanent frost watch for quite a few days and as I write it certainly looks as if it will stay this week for a while.

With that in mind, I will focus on how you can warm up this winter.

How to keep warm this winter

Well people keep asking me how to warm up and we either talk about layers such as woolly hats, mitts, and fleece trousers or we talk about getting off to find some winter sun and play golf with the sun on your face

Let’s start with that option.

Last week I sneaked away for 3 days to a new resort at La Finca Algorfa near Alicante in Spain to have a look around and try a new venue.

What a venue it is! A fantastic championship course with 18 stunning holes, 5 Star hotel, phenomenal practice facilities, very quick greens, beautifully manicured fairways, and the all-important year-round sunshine!

Get in touch to enquire further.

Ladies Lunches

Over the last few weeks, we have had two Ladies lunches at the club raising valuable funds for charities.

Our first one, organized my GGC social committee saw 80 girls enjoy entertainment from the two Craig’s and on the day raised £1,530 for CHAS.

Pictured are Norma, Alison & Avril handing over the cheque.

The second day was at the weekend in aid of Inver Clyde Women’s Aid - organized by Ashleigh Reid of Buckley’s at ICE Catering.

More than 100 ladies enjoyed the entertainment raising approximately £2,000 in the process, making a combined total of around £3,500 raised for charity over the two events.

Well done ladies!

Prize Giving

Our gents enjoyed their 2019 prize-giving last week with all major winners attending. Well done to everyone and a special mention to our Gents Champion Steven Higgins on another win.

Is it still too early to talk about it?

We might be five weeks away from the big day itself, but it won’t be long before radio stations start playing Jingle Bells and this year’s John Lewis ad captures the nation’s attention. When it comes to Christmas shopping, we have a fantastic selection of stocking fillers available in the pro shop and even more ready to be purchased on our Click and Collect website.

From headcovers to sweaters and even the old traditional gift of socks, you’ll be able to find exactly what you’re looking for through us. You might even spot something you want adding to your list of gifts this year!

So, why not take some of the stress out of the chaotic high street shopping by doing yours with us? If you order by 2pm on Friday 20th December, we can guarantee it’ll be delivered to us in time for you to pick up before Christmas.

Our survey says...

A recent survey indicated some interesting statistics about club golfers in the UK, so we thought we'd share a few of them with you now. Drum roll, please….

Yep, nearly three-quarters of club golfers use a Distance Measuring Device (such as a GPS watch or laser) whilst 1-in-5 trust your own judgment and feel when it comes to how far you have left to the green.

Pretty interesting stats but ones that highlight how important it is that you know how far you hit the ball with every club in the bag. All of this adds up to smarter course management and, in the long term, fewer strokes (we hope!). Interested? Send us a message via the link below.

Yes, it's a waterproof jacket that has been designed for golf with four-way stretch material for complete freedom of movement during your swing, but it's also more than stylish enough to be worn as your everyday winter jacket too.
