Last Tuesday the ladies took part in a Stableford competition. There were 37 entries for the competition with a couple of very good scores coming in. Myra Penkethman scored an outstanding 42 points which was only good enough for 2nd place as Shirley Osbaldeston managed an even better 43 points. Well done ladies on some fantastic scoring.
Saturday was the turn of the men who took part in the Jubilee Vase. In 3rd place was Josh Garside with a Nett 72, Josh also got the lowest gross, joint with Simon Bolam, with a gross 75. Slightly ahead with a Nett 71 was Alaister Kennedy. But just beating them all to the post with a very good Nett 70 was John Ogden who took home the Jubilee Vase. Well done to all our winners in last week's competitions.
On 31st October we are doing a Night Golf event. This is always a lot of fun so get down to the pro shop quickly to book a spot. If you haven't done it before and don't know what it is, basically we have a company come down and they light up the golf course in the dark using LED lighting - as seen here. Fairways are lit either side with white lights (it looks a like a runway!), greens are surrounded with green lights and tees, plus all bunkers and hazards are lit up, too.
The balls are approved size and weight and will perform to about 90% of a normal golf ball. They contain two LED lights which illuminate when you hit them so you can see the whole flight of the ball through the air. Each player is given a different coloured ball and you are given spares (just in case!).
The Night Golf company have designed and supply their own unique flags. These flags have up to 100 LED lights to complete what is a visually stunning experience. Paths are also lit up with different coloured bright LED lights. The safety of golfers is the highest priority so only the safest walking routes are used and water hazards are avoided.
To book your space as this truly unique event, get in touch here or pop into the shop.

We have a selection of sweaters, wind-proofs, water-poofs, hats and gloves which are sure to keep you warm as well as not restrict your golf swing.

It is waterproof up to 10,000mm and breathable to 10,000gm. This is just one example of the quality of the new beautiful looking garments now available in the shop.
New Chrome Ball
Are your balls big enough?!
Chrome Soft with Truvis Technology takes a golf ball that has completely redefined performance and adds a proprietary visual technology to maximise your view of the golf ball. The red and white Truvis pattern is specifically designed for better focus and visibility. Basically the ball looks bigger down to an optical illusion.
