Following last week's snow on Wednesday (14th), we have seen a really cold snap which has meant that the course has remained closed. Below are some photos I have taken whilst out for a walk round the course this week.

   

   

I know some of you will be amazed at just how much snow we have had as neighbouring areas like Inverkip, Wemyss Bay and Skelmorlie have had very little or none at all! Let's hope it doesn't last too long although it will be a little wet for a while I think.

The embargo has been lifted and now the best kept secret of the winter can be revealed. Callaway have this week launched the new XR range of clubs. These will replace the fantastic X Hot range of woods, irons and bags. Following on from the success of Big Bertha and Alpha, this range will appeal to all level of golfers! Please see some of the information and links to this amazing new product available very soon in store!

Odyssey Works putting line

Odyssey Works represents a new high performance technology platform where feel meets roll. Odyssey Works putters combine a new Fusion RX insert with the company's major-winning Versa alignment, and Tour-proven head shapes like the #1 Wide and the #7. Odyssey also revealed a new head shape, the 2-Ball Fang. It is the company's most accurate 2-Ball of all time. For more information on these products, please click here.

Chrome Soft balls now available - the ball the changed the ball

Phil Mickelson said - 'Our ball [Chrome Soft] explodes off the face. As it compresses and restores its formation, it almost has a spring as the ball's shooting up. And you can see that, it's noticeable, even for my dad who doesn't have a ton of clubhead speed. And it's noticeable for me too. In fact, my 5-iron through driver has never been this good, with the Chrome Soft.' For more information on Callaway's latest ball, please click here.
