Callaway Fitting Day
I'm pleased to announce that Knock Golf Club will be holding one of the first Callaway Fitting Days of 2017. I have arranged for Callaway to come to Knock on Wednesday, 22 March to fit the new product including the well documented Epic driver (the one Rory has decided to put in play). If you would like to book an appointment and get fitted by the best in the business give me a buzz at the pro shop or click here to send us an email.

'Ready Golf' Coming To Knock
The council have agreed to implement Ready Golf to Knock starting this weekend in the Pro Sweep. Conditions of Ready Golf is basically:
If your ready to play and it's safe, then play.
No honour (except in matchplay). The first player ready plays.
Players should play their own ball before helping to look for a lost ball.
When not playing your shot you should be preparing to play your shot.
This concept was put into play at numerous GUI Championships and on average it helped speed up an average round of golf by 38 minutes... now we would all like that to happen.
