Is golf moving in a new direction?
Two weeks and two new formats introduced onto the circuit. Last week saw the PGA Tour host a team event for the first time since 1981 and it's safe to say it was a huge success. The players were able to choose their partner for the week, providing us with a little insight into the relationships amongst players on Tour. Playing two rounds foursomes and two rounds 4BBB, Jonas Blixt and Cameron Smith came out eventual winners but only after a four-hole playoff against Kevin Kisner and Scott Brown on Monday morning.
This week sees the European Tour take centre stage in trying to revitalise golf to the masses with their GolfSixes event. There will be 16 two-man teams competing over six holes in a series of head-to-head matches, with one team being crowned champions come Sunday afternoon. The six holes all differ drastically; from music and pyrotechnics on the first tee to a long drive competition on the third to a nearest the pin on the fifth.
It promises to be an exciting event but only time will tell whether it catches on and helps grow the game of golf. In the meantime, watch our GolfSixes video here.
Driving Range News
The yardage markers on the range are now measured accurately at 50, 100, 150 and 200 yards for those who need to tune their distances.
We ask members not to hit old balls onto the range. It takes a lot of time sieving through balls that are not acceptable to hit. We also ask for you not to collect balls from the grass.
Club Jumpers
We apologise for reminding you that the jumpers are still on order. We expect them this week/early next week. The Full Zip ladies jumpers are going to be near the start of June. We are chasing Glenmuir all the time.
Spring/Summer Offers!
Complete Equipment Solution
We want to make buying new equipment from us an enjoyable process, one which leads to you playing better golf in the long run. This is why we've teamed up with Callaway to offer you the Complete Equipment Solution throughout April to June.
How does a FREE custom fitting and FREE lesson sound?
It's so important for golfers of all abilities - particularly amateurs, who have far more to gain - to get custom fitted, as opposed to leaving it to chance, like you'd be doing if you bought standard spec clubs straight off the shelf.
You really have nothing to lose. We will help you to get the most out of any new equipment through a thorough custom fitting process before you buy, followed by a lesson to see you on your way.
Come and speak to us in-store if you're interested, but remember this offer is only available until the end of June.
