Hello Golfers,

We hope you're playing well and enjoying the late October sunshine, our season is coming to an end and it has certainly been a strange one. The playing season has survived a global pandemic and although we have had no trophy presentations and now our clubhouse is closed again, you all deserve a round of applause and a thank you from everyone at the golf club.

As it's October school week I am taking a break and taking the whole week off. Ross and Niall will take care of all your needs!

As always, this week's email is packed full of useful topics to help you get the most from your game. If you see anything that you'd like to try or want to know more about, simply reply to this email and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.

Enjoy the read.

Golf on Tour

Hatton's happy homecoming

Tyrrell Hatton sealed a fantastic victory at Wentworth in the BMW PGA Championship over the weekend.

The Englishman played some outstanding golf from tee-to-green, setting up birdie chances aplenty thanks to a near-perfect ball-striking display. Finding the right part of the green was key to Hatton's success over the weekend, which saw him enter the World's Top 10 for the very first time.

One of the slightly more unusual talking points from the weekend was Hatton's clothing; more specifically his hoodies. It seems to have people split and, whilst it won't be to everyone's taste, we'd love to hear your thoughts - send us a message below.

Under Armour Autumn Winter Clothing Collection

Your convenient companion

Have you ever noticed scratches or fading on the shaft of your golf clubs? Well, unless you’ve been doing something totally crazy, this is most likely due to the wear and tear of your golf bag.

Lynx Attitude Cart Bag

If you are seeing scratches on your shafts maybe it’s time to treat yourself to a new bag? With winter closing in, you’ll want a bag that protects your clubs and accessories when it rains too, something that Lynx's Attitude waterproof bags certainly do.

Lynx Attitude Stand Bag

Both the cart and stand bags have plenty of spacious seam-sealed pockets for your accessories, with the cart bag offering 14-way dividers to prevent your clubs from rattling around when on your trolley.

Golf balls: take your pick

Whether you use any old ball that you find on the course or have a go-to model that you simply love, it's always good to know your options. Many golfers choose their golf ball based on price, so here's a handy guide to Srixon's range that you'll find at Gourock Golf Club.

A new ball for 2020 and one we're big fans of. You get the distance of the AD333 with exceptional feel thanks to its Urethane cover.

Product spotlight

Callaway Mack Daddy CB wedge

As we edge towards winter golf, the condition of the course will begin to change with softer ground putting a premium on good wedge play.

It's very easy to duff (fat) chips and pitches during winter, which is why having wedges that are designed for maximum forgiveness is so helpful.

This is where Callaway's new Mack Daddy CB wedges come in. Find out more on our website or pop by the pro shop to give them a try.

Video of the Week

With the new World Handicap System coming into effect next month, we thought we'd share this video from the R&A on how your new playing handicap will be calculated. If you have any questions please visit us in the shop.

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.
