Lady President's Day

Rosemary Hamilton's Lady Presidents' Day was a huge success with a great turnout. It was great to hear Rod's dulcet tone on the first tee as he acted as starter. Each competitor was given a K.G.C Titleist Golf ball from Rosemary... a nice touch indeed.
Everybody had a great day and because it was reductions only nobody went home with a point one. Results were as follows:

First place - Sharon Crozier (36 points), second place - Jill Kennedy (35 points, BB9) and in third place - Emmeline Johnston (35 points). Best gross - Claire Robinson (21 points). 9 Holes - Elaine Hanna (12 points).

The twos paid out a whopping £27 each with Marie Ferguson and Sinead Murray recording the only twos. I would like to thank Rosemary for all her support over the year and congratulations on such a successful day.

The Club Championship 2017

I'm very keen to arrange a date towards the end of this month or the start of September to hold a 36 hole Club Championship. Traditionally it's been held on a Sunday and will be open to 0 - 9 handicap players. The Scratch Medal will be awarded to the player with the lowest gross score, but there will be prizes for best nett also. If you would like to get in touch here to recommend dates that suit the majority and if anybody would like to sponsor the event that would be great. Our Club Championship should be one of the biggest events of the year.... watch out for information regarding the event in an upcoming newsletter..

PING G400

I now have the full range of PING G400 clubs here at the pro shop. This week three members have experienced a club fit and all three made gains and loved the look and feel of the new clubs. If you just wanted to try the new irons I have a few demo clubs I can let you borrow or if you would like a PING club fitting, please get in touch here. 

New arrivals

This week I have taken stock of some Pro V1 and Pro VX balls in dozen boxes with rare numbers. I have for example numbers 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66 etc etc up to 99... this is a limited offer and the balls cost no extra. Let me know if you would like some kept over, and at £75 for two dozen, it's the best price around even on the internet.
