Ally in action!

Ally and Kev are back in action this week and have straight away started work on the greens.

Top Dresser

An application of fescue seed and top dressing has been applied to help bring on the surfaces and speed them up.

Ball Retriever

We have trialled one of the many ball retriever tools that are available this week. The beauty of this model is that it can be used once COVID19 restrictions are finished to help collect your ball from the hole as there are three dimples which the ball will fall into. Meaning you won't have to bend over and cause your back any discomfort!!

Touch Free

Watch one of our members Jim Barr show you how it's done here - Ball Retreiver.

Feedback required please, not on Jim's putting stroke but the device!

Innes update!

It's been a busy month, since the course re-opened and in that time Innes has been practising away and over the last week or so decided it was time to start golfing on his feet rather than his previously preferred position of from his bum! Although I haven't been able to spend as much time with him as I would like over the past month it has still been great to watch him progress! In the not too distant future I reckon he'll be down chasing the ball around our own Arbroath Links!

Golf on Tour

And the streak continues

Dustin Johnson is a remarkable golfer. Sorry for stating the obvious – he is third in the Official World Golf Rankings after all – but his record speaks for itself.

His victory at the weekend was his 21st in total. It was also the 13th season in a row that DJ has won on the PGA Tour. To put that into perspective, only Palmer (17), Nicklaus (17) and Woods (14) boast a better record to start off their careers.

The only question mark hanging over his head is his inability to get over the line in Major championships, with just a sole U.S. Open victory to his name thus far. Maybe the big-hitting American is finding his form at the perfect time with an exciting few months ahead in the world of golf.

If you're looking for more consistency in your game, we can certainly help. Send us a message via the button below.

3-for-2 on Soft Response

You may not have heard of TaylorMade's Soft Response golf ball before. That's fine; it's a brand new model for 2020.

It's as simple as that, but click the button below to learn a little more about the ball.

How has your putting been?

We all missed golf and we’re all delighted to be back on the course, especially now that the sun is shining. But, in all our excitement, it’s easy to forget the importance of checking the shape of our game. So, how is your putting?

You’ve heard it a million times before, but a round of golf really is decided on the greens. A couple more up-and-downs and a few less three-putts can drastically improve your scorecard.

So, let’s make sure you have the right putter in your bag. Cleveland’s Frontline putter range is designed for golfers who struggle with a consistent stroke tempo, whilst the Huntington Beach Soft range is engineered for players needing more feel on impact. Whatever you need, we will help you find it.

Challenge us to find your perfect putter by calling us on 01241 875837, or visit our website via the button below.

A couple of options worth trying

Do you regularly buy new balls or do you use any old one that you can find on the course? You may be surprised by how much the right golf ball can help.

With the advanced technology of today, golf balls can make a real difference to your game. Whether you’re after more distance off the tee, spin around the greens or feel in your putting, there’s a golf ball out there for you.

Srixon Q-Star Tour balls, for example, give you a softer feel and more speed with every club. The AD333 golf balls, meanwhile, focus on helping you gain more controlled spin around the greens and are a real favourite around the club.

You can visit our website via the button below or call us on 01241 875837 for more information on Srixon golf balls and finding the right ball for you.

Spotlight | New Motocaddy bags

Whatever you want from your golf bag, look no further than Motocaddy's range.

Lightweight stand bag
Waterproof cart bag
A bag that doesn't fall off your trolley

You can view the full range on our website via the button below, but we want to quickly talk about one feature that all these bags have in common: Easilock technology.

It's a pretty smart feature that locks the base of your bag to your Motocaddy trolley, meaning there's no need for a bottom bag strap or to worry about your bag tipping over.
