Club V1 App

Club systems have now produced an all new smartphone app for Android and Apple devices. Everything members need to interact with their club in one app. Booking, Diary, Competition results, Members directory, Subscription balance, Multi purse card statements with online top up. The Live leader board will be a great addition if the members are on board with it. Whilst out on the course if they fill in their scorecard after every hole on the app the leader board will remain up-to-date.

Users can access the members area by downloading the Android or Apple IOS app from the app store. Search for 'ClubV1 Members Hub'. Or for members without a smartphone, they can access via a webpage.

Within the Members area you can make tee bookings via HowDidiDo or BRS Golf, view your bar balance and recent till transactions, as well as having access to the members list, and the ability to edit your own privacy settings. The club can also keep the members up to date with club news and push notifications, so the app is a must.

Range update

The footings have been laid and the electricity cable is being trenched next week. If you are wanting to hit balls please use the pitching mat for now until work has been completed.

Fowler shines on Tiger’s return

In a nutshell, the Hero World Challenge is a premium event. It’s played in the Bahamas with 18 of the world’s best players competing for the title. Oh, and a certain Tiger Woods was in the field for the first time since February, too.

Regardless of how the 14-time major champion fared over the four days – 3 rounds in the 60s for a top 10 finish was quite impressive – it was great to see Tiger prowling the fairways once again following numerous back and knee injuries.

But it was one of the new generation of stars who stormed to victory on Sunday thanks to a stunning 11-under-par 61, helping to eclipse a seven-shot deficit to overnight leader Charley Hoffman. Rickie Fowler was the man of the moment; a simply brilliant eight birdies in a remarkable front nine propelled the American to the top of the leaderboard where he remained for the rest of the day. What a performance.
