Course Maintenance Evenings 2019

This spring/summer we are looking for volunteers who would be willing to devote some of their spare time by attending our course maintenance evenings. This is an opportunity to help with menial tasks such as divoting fairways/tee boxes, pruning and perhaps helping with the little tasks that will enhance the course further. If you would like to participate, please enter your name onto the list which can be found in the main corridor of the clubhouse.

A much-needed complimentary drink will be available from the bar after!

Dates to be confirmed.

Club news

CSI Hub Privacy settings

Can I urge all members who still haven’t adjusted their privacy settings to please do so ASAP. It has become quite a frustrating issue for all concerned that members contact details are not visible, especially if you have entered knockout competitions. If you have any questions with regards to this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me.

25th Anniversary Senior Shirts

For any seniors who have pre-ordered their 25th Anniversary senior shirt, would they please collect their order from the Pro Shop.

Pushing the boundaries

Driver technology continues to be the hot topic of conversation in the golfing world, as brands search for ways of giving us more forgiveness, greater distance and better accuracy off the tee. So, which drivers are really pushing the boundaries this year?

Introducing Epic Flash from Callaway

Callaway’s revolutionary Epic Flash driver utilises the power of Artifical Intelligence (or computers) to create an optimum face design that maximises ball speed no matter where you make contact with the ball - helpful when you don't hit the ball out of the centre every time. Coupled with Callaway’s Jailbreak Technology, this driver will offer you ball speed and distance like you've never seen before.

Finding the right club for you can be a serious game-changer and sure-fire way of lowering your scores, and the best way of doing this is by taking advantage of our professional advice during an eye-opening custom fitting.

Bags of fun

As we enter March, you might be tempted for a quick nine holes after work as the days lengthen. That means time is of the essence, so a lightweight carry bag is ideal to take from the boot straight to the first tee. So, guess what? We have done the hard yards for you and come up with the perfect solution...

Motocaddy AquaFLEX stand bag

Constructed to be 100% waterproof, this smart-looking bag will ensure all your gear is kept dry when the inevitable spring/summer showers land. A quick release strap and Smart Fit swivel buckle combine to make the bag incredibly flexible, saving you time to focus on what’s important: your game. It easily carries 14 clubs and with several colour options available, make sure you pop in store next time you’re down the club and take a closer look.
