Hello golfers,

I hope you all had a fantastic week on and off the golf course and welcome to a new edition of our weekly newsletter, keeping you up to date with the latest news and gossip within the walls of Knock Golf Club.

Snow at Knock...

The course has been closed most of the week due to snow. Members have been skiing and sledging down the 2nd and 8th holes having a lot of fun.

I did think it was quite funny to see Simon Swail heading down the second hole on Sunday morning. He usually collides with the trees NOT his dogs!

The twos paid out £10.30 each and all monies have been added to your pro shop accounts.

Lesson of the week...

Below is a before and after shot of Tom Wilson. Our goal is to get Tom into a better position at the top of this swing enabling him to deliver the club more efficiently and to eliminate the use of the hands in transition.

Pro Shop Christmas Draw

There is still plenty of squares on offer due to the course closure this week. Each square is £2 or three squares can be brought for £5.... there will be 10 prizes on offer and the draw will take place on Boxing Day. Members can use their pro shop account to purchase squares so give me a buzz or email me here if you would like to be put into the draw.

Second hand corner

I have taken in some fabulous clubs in trade-in deals this week. Pictured below is the latest Titleist 917 driver. It is £399 new and has only been used a handful of times (as per photos), now priced at £249. I can fit this club with either regular or stiff flex shafts from the fitting cart. If interested give me a buzz. This is a proper deal!

Christmas gift ideas

ith Christmas just around the corner I have put a large selection (below) of gift ideas on our Christmas table in the pro shop. From Titleist and Callaway snoods to lithium batteries we have it all... the Srixon double dozen Distance balls at £25 (for 24 balls) is the lowest UK price.

If you're looking for easy parking and a great selection of gift ideas pop in and have a look.

Golf in the Swing Studio

With snow covering the course this week the Swing Studio has been busy with members and visitors alike booking it to play and/or practice. Why go to a damp, cold range? 

Pictured is the new fitting carts from PING and Titleist. No more guessing... we have everything to fit you properly.
