Greetings golfers,
With the golf season in full throttle, some of my, let's say fashion, conscious members have been ordering some stunning shoes...
MyJoy in seeing DryJoys
Pictured is an example of a MyJoy FootJoy DryJoy Tour shoe. He picked the side saddle colour and the text. FootJoy offer over 10,000 different colour options and you can design your own shoe online from the comfort of your own home by visiting the FootJoy website and clicking on MyJoys. Brilliant looking shoes Phil!
50 Free Practice Balls
At this time of the year it's good to see so many people practicing so I thought I would run a special offer if you buy any practice ball bag or shag bag, I will give you 50 practice balls FREE of charge. All we ask is that you put your initials on them so people can identify their balls on the 9th fairway...

Attention all those members who work!
If you work and can only get 9 holes after your day, we have a solution. Starting Thursday, 19 May we will be running a 9 hole stableford handicap qualifying competition. We are trying to accommodate all golfers and to give them a chance to compete as often as possible. In today's modern world we realise some people can only get out to play 9 holes. Just book a tee time as usual: £3 to enter and play will be off yellow tees. Stephen has a great value for money Curry Night to run alongside a Thursday 9 hole competition
Throughout May and June, we will be running our Complete Equipment Solution. This gives you the opportunity to have a FREE fitting and a FREE after sales lesson with one of our PGA Professionals here at Knock GC.
The purpose of running this offer is two-fold:
Firstly we want you, our customers, to experience the benefits of a custom fitting, and how much it can improve your game. For example even in the last few weeks we have had customers gaining over 20 yards in distance, and reducing the dispersion of each shot, just through using the right club, shaft combination as a result of a custom fitting.
Secondly, we want to give back to you to thank you for your continued custom. The after sales lesson will hopefully help you settle into your new clubs, so you can hit the ground running from your first round.
We are running this offer in conjunction with Titleist, so why not click here or on the video to find out more.
