New Arrivals  

With the new season nearly upon us, new stock is starting to filter in. The most recent arrival has been the new adidas clothing range for 2016. Get yours early to avoid disappointment. 

Special Offer

Given the recent rain, buy any waterproof jacket and get 50% off the price of any waterproof trousers.

With the ability to get out on the golf course more regularly looming, don't forget the importance of a proper warm up. Half an hour hitting a few short irons, mid irons, woods and Drivers has been difficult in previous years, however, now with the Golf Cave, this is a possibility.

The Range feature is only £10.00 for 30 mins or £18.00 for the hour. Make sure you are ready play and avoid injury.

Please contact Ady or Andy to book. 

 

Due to issues with the computer system, there are no results for this weekend competitions as yet. This is being looked into.

     

 
Renovation on the 15th tee is now underway. Storm drain has been re-fitted to prevent flooding. Irrigation has been fitted and ready to test in March.

Please check the daily course information with regards the course/ holes being open. With the recent poor weather, to save inconvenience, it would be advisable to call ahead. 

 

This week focused on chipping with various drills to encourage some creativity.

The Wilkinson Sword Junior Championship will be held this year, this first time since 2013. Entries are open now. Please contact Andrew Rigby for more information 0113 265 9203 option 2

Do you really need 14 clubs during the winter?

Having had a few 3 club comps this winter and seeing that some, if not, most of the scores have been pretty impressive, leads me to think that this time of year would be good to get creative and take half a set out on to the course. Maybe leave out the woods all together? Maybe leave the lob wedge in the locker.

Having less clubs will do your game good as it will remove indecision, is it a 5 or 6 iron? If you only have a 4 or 7 then you have this choice made for you. It will increase your creativity which can only be a good thing for your summer scores.

Also, less clubs in the bag means less weight which may lead to you carrying them rather than 30+ kg on a trolley which increases the wear and tear on the course, something that we all agree, given the amount of rain over the last 3 months would be a good thing. So next time you're out for a friendly knock, try half a set and see how it affects your thinking and your game.
