Happy New Year to you all. Unfortunately we have started 2016 on a very wet note just about getting the 5,5,5 competition on Saturday, 2 January played. The winners with 86 points were Barry Gainer, Phil Jones, Arthur Margerison & Brian Rippon followed by Rod Backhouse, Andy Clark, Steve Jones & John Clegg with 82 points and in 3rd winning on a card playoff with 81 points Clive Plummer, Frank Lecozannet, Gary Cottrell & Alan Roberts. The ladies competition was cancelled on Tuesday due to the limited amount of holes that were open.

The course has been very wet over the past week as you can imagine. The only way to have any of the holes open was to allow carry bags only, this was the only option apart from closing the course so thank you for your understanding on this matter. As I write this, the course is closed due to a heavy downpour last night so fingers crossed for some dry weather. Rod and Jason will continue to inspect the course and will open it as soon as it is fit for play. Please keep an eye on the website for course status updates.

We will be taking delivery of new stock over the next couple weeks so be sure to stop in. The new FootJoy shoe stock is due any day so if you're looking for a new pair of shoes ready for the season then take a look. There are also some great deals to be had on the sale rail including FootJoy, Ashworth, and Under Aromour items.

Alex currently has a January lesson offer. Any 40 minute lesson (20) booked and taken in the month of January will include a free 20 minute putting lesson. Please call to book. 

We hope to see out playing golf soon so let's hope for some decent weather.
