Hello Golfers,

Welcome to our first newsletter of 2021!

Firstly, we hope you enjoyed the recent festive period as much as possible. Secondly, following the First Minister's announcement earlier this week, playing golf is still permitted during this latest lockdown. This is great news for golfers across the country, so please continue to follow the rules and stay safe whilst taking to the course.

In this week's email, we look ahead to some exciting events taking place this year as well as a look back at the luckiest shots seen on the European Tour in our Video of the Week.

If you'd like to get in touch about anything golf-related, reply to this email or give us a call. Enjoy the read. 

Happy New Year?
Course
A Frosty Outlook!!

Not the start we were looking for to 2021 but to be honest I'm not overly surprised. My mission over the next few weeks and newsletters is to talk about lockdown as little as possible. As frustrating as it is, my view is that two ball golf is better than no golf! Here is a quick rundown on the procedures we have in place - 

  • 2 BALLS ONLY
  • NO VISITORS/MEMBERS GUEST (if there are available times on the day they may be allowed)
  • NO TRAVEL TO COURSE IF YOU LIVE OUTSIDE OF THE ANGUS BORDERLINE
  • MAXIMUM OF 3 GAMES PER WEEK ONLY 1 AT THE WEEKEND. (WILL BE REVIEWED AFTER THE FIRST 7-10 DAYS)
  • REGISTER IN PRO SHOP BEFORE ROUND
  • KEEP UP PACE OF PLAY/ HIT A PROVISIONAL BALL IF IN DOUBT
  • ENJOY YOURSELF - IT COULD BE WORSE!!!

All of these will be reviewed after the first week, in particular, the 1 game at the weekend and 3 games per week. It is also important to note that although we are saying a max of 3 games, if there are afternoon times available then you can book these via the Pro Shop on the day.

None of these decisions was taken lightly, they were done to allow as many members as possible to get a game of golf. I fully appreciate if you work Monday to Friday then these restrictions are frustrating for you, I promise we will monitor this weekend and look to put in additional/alternative rules to help allow you more golf. 

Any questions please feel free to get in touch.

Golf on Tour

2020 was a year like no other, both in golf and in the world as a whole. However, with 2021 now upon us, let’s take a look at some of the events for us golf fans to get excited about this year…

Firstly, The Masters returns to its April date, just five months on from Dustin Johnson’s record-breaking win back in November. This is followed by three more Majors in the men's game and five in the women's, including the one that got away in 2020: The Open Championship!

To top it all off, we have both the Ryder Cup and Solheim Cup in the same month - September. Let’s hope Team Europe are partying twice this September! Oh, and let's not forget about the Olympics!

We hope you’re just as excited about golf in 2021, and if you’re itching to play your part then feel free to get in touch with any questions via the button below.

Something to work towards

Come rain or shine, golfers never need an excuse to dust off the cobwebs and get onto the course. So, with lots of golf to (hopefully) look forward to in 2021, there's no better time to conjure up some golf-based resolutions for the year ahead.

Making resolutions

You may have decided you’d like to reduce the number of three-putts you have each round (don't we all!) or to get less frustrated when you hit a bad shot. Whatever your resolutions are, we're here to help in any way possible.

How we can help

I think we can all agree that golf is much more fun when you’re playing well. So, reply to this email with your number one resolution for the year ahead and let's see if we can make it happen together!

Walking in a winter wonderland

Long walks are as much a part of the festive season as eating too much turkey and dozing on the sofa afterwards. Greg Norman once said ‘Happiness is a long walk with a putter’. Now, it would be a little odd to take your putter on a festive walk, but one thing you'll definitely need is a good jacket!

Under Armour waterproof jackets
Under Armour waterproof jackets - available through us

Well, we will all be trying to get out of the house for some good walks over the next few weeks, but they're a lot less enjoyable if you’re caught out in the rain. That’s why it is so important to have a waterproof jacket that really gets the job done.

Under Armour’s Portrush jacket does exactly that, and with a flourish; giving you complete waterproof protection, a stylish look and freedom of movement in your swing. Now that’s happiness, Mr Norman.

Video of the Week

Every good round of golf requires a bit of luck, be it a favourable bounce around the greens or a preferable lie off the fairway. Sometimes it is far more extreme, as this highlight reel from the European Tour showcases. Enjoy.
