Hello Golfers,

Welcome to the latest edition of our weekly newsletter. In this week's email we review a thrilling week at Augusta National, we ease your concerns over your data protection, and we explore which golf ball would be the ideal choice for you.

Enjoy the read.

Coaching news

Have you started off the season rusty?

Why not sign up to a variety of coaching clinics available in April including Short game, Driving Distance and Putting.

More information will be displayed this week on the noticeboard so keep an eye out.

Ladies coaching is off to a great start

Competition news

Summer Singles & Pairs Matchplay

Shop news

Want to play like Tiger?

Would you like to try the same Bridgestone ball as Tiger Woods & Matt Kucher? If so, pop into the Proshop for more details and who knows you may even hit it the same.

Masters sweepstake

Congratulations to John Prior on winning the Masters Sweepstake. I am sure everyone will join me in giving John a lot of stick (a Captain’s charity donation looms!).

Club news

Drive-in

Congratulations to this year’s captain Neal Tugman on a 225 yard drive. We wish Neal all the best for the season and we are sure we will do a fantastic job.

We would also like to thank Martin Hallam for a very successful year as Captain. Martin worked really well with Tom and the golf team last year and hands over to Neal with the office in good order.

Martin couldn’t quite convert his last hole as Captain into birdie, no surprise – an accomplished green in reg, two putt par. Well played ‘past it’. Martin now moves into the Rules/Comps Sub Committee for this year in his year as Past Captain. Thank you Martin.

Junior news

Junior participation

Our quest to increasing junior participation continues.

Please do not forget our Junior ‘bring a friend for free’ coaching session this Saturday 14th April.

To book please contact Morgan or Tom on 01789413800 or 07850407266.

Data protection

You have nothing to fear

Recently, you may have seen a few requests in our weekly emails asking you to create your golfing profile or confirm your email address for GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) purposes.

As you might be aware, GDPR is new legislation coming into effect at the end of May, so we are taking the opportunity now to update your details. Not only does this give us the chance to confirm that we have your correct information, but it also provides us with the ability to personalise your weekly emails to suit your golfing preferences. If you have not yet updated your details, please do so now. It will take you less than a minute.

The clarity is amazing

Sunglasses are far more than a fashion statement. Oakley spends a lot of time creating eyewear to benefit your performance on the course, and its new model for 2018 has some innovative technology that you’ll need to try on to believe the difference.

Without Prizm lenses

With Prizm Dark lenses

How will Prizm lenses benefit your golf?
As well as providing powerful UV protection, Oakley’s Prizm lenses fine tune the colours you see to help maximise contrast and enhance visibility. This gives you better depth perception and makes subtle slopes easier to spot, as displayed in the images with and without Prizm lenses above. Both Prizm Golf and Prizm Dark Golf lenses do this, with the former optimised for bright light conditions and latter ideal in medium light.

Come and try Oakley Targetline
Built with golf performance in mind, the stylish Targetline models here have an angled brow and sleek temples for a better fit under a hat. They also boast taller lenses that ensure uninterrupted downward vision to your ball and textured inner temples and a non-slip nosepiece for a comfy and stable fit.

Let us make it simple for you

We pride ourselves on being the only place you need to go for your golfing needs, which is especially true for golf balls. But we also realise that because we offer a wide range, it can be hard to know which model is right for your game.

Tour performance

The TaylorMade TP5 and lower spinning TP5x offer excellent performance from tee-to-green, which is why they’re the choice of top players like Rory McIlory and Justin Rose. Each of its five layers has been specifically designed to help an aspect of your game, whether that's driver distance, spin or feel.

Perfect for slower swingers

The TaylorMade Project (a) and Project (s) balls make it easier for slower swingers to generate distance. Like TP5, Project (a) has a urethane cover that creates greenside spin, plus the same aerodynamic dimple pattern, while the Project (s) feels even softer on full shots.
