GolfSixes
As a new initiative from England Golf, we have been invited to run a "GolfSixes" competition which is quick, fun, and perfect for players who are short of time or just want to play in a fast, competitive game. We have, therefore set this up as a one-off competition scheduled for Saturday 23rd February, alongside the Pro’s Mixed competition.
|
It will be open to Men, Ladies and Juniors as a Stableford competition to be held over the first 6 holes. Each hole will be given a stroke index from 1 to 6 and players will use a third of their usual handicap (a conversion chart will be available in the pro shop). The best male and female scores will then be put forward to see if they qualify for England Golf’s national final and the winners there will play with a Tour star in the official pro-am during the European Tour’s GolfSixes week 2019.
In order to enter, you will need to book in with the pro shop on the day of the competition (there is no fee) between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm, you can play with any member of the Club whether they are playing in this competition or not, fill in the 6 hole score card, sign it as normal and then place the completed card in the score box. |

We all love new golf equipment – be it balls, clubs or shoes; there’s nothing like stepping out onto the course knowing that everything in your bag is in pristine condition. Except, for the majority of golfers, there’s always one thing which is often forgotten about... |
 | | How old are your grips? |
 | | Losing control during your swing? |
|
If you pulled a club out of your bag now, what state would your grips be in? You’ll probably notice that they’re at the very least losing some of the tackiness they once had or, in the worst cases, worn away so badly that they’re completely unrecognizable - a clear sign they need to be replaced. The benefits to getting your clubs regripped are huge, and they can even improve your performance. Take the ALIGN grips from Golf Pride; these have a raised edge on the back (red part of grip seen here) to perfect your hand placement every time. |
|
As you can see, we're currently running a promotion where you can get your 7-iron regripped for FREE; all you need to do is pop in-store and decide which of these grips you want to try out. |
