Course Update

On Tuesday the golf course was dry enough for Lee and his team to cut the course. It's great to see stripes and definition. The course was looking superb for this early in the year, please see pictures below.

Club news 

Ready Golf

This Saturday will also be the official start of Knock Golf Club implementing 'Ready Golf'. If you are ready to play and it's safe, then play. No 'honour' (except in matchplay), the first player ready hits. Players should play their own ball before helping to look for a lost ball. The G.U.I have adopted Ready Golf and have found it to cut an average of 20 - 25 minutes of a round of golf. I think everybody on a Saturday would encourage this! Can I also ask you all to repair pitchmarks... thanks.

Callaway Fitting Day

On Wednesday I hosted Callaway for a Fitting Day here at Knock. The weather turned nasty for the later starters, but all-in-all the members who booked a fitting slot enjoyed the experience and found it very beneficial. Pictured is Ken Latimer about to unleash another 300 yard boomer and also all the equipment on show including the new Epic driver as used by Rory!

Shop news 

Odyssey Putter Range

On Wednesday I took delivery of many models of the new Odyssey putter range, the new technology used by Rory. I have in stock the putters with the new microhinge face insert. Microhinge insert technology sees stainless steel hinges moulded into a soft Thermoplastic Elastomer insert where they can flex and lift the ball to produce quicker topspin for a better roll with consistent feel and feedback.
