Santa says


From best dressed and displayed to best dinner and entertainment

Valentine’s Day was celebrated with Couples Golf… Love was in the air!

Big congratulations goes to Susan Gray, she achieved an incredible hole-in-one on the 14th – a very difficult Par 3 Hole on this special day (with a full bar of golfers and bridge players enjoying Fish Friday)!

The Gobby’s captured 1st prize with 45 points and the Roberts' dressed the best (with heavy competition).
 
  
 

MAVRIK is in town!


Neil Walsh-Tucker from Callaway also did a MAVRIK launch at the Driving Range from 08:00 till 13:00 and the members loved the new product.

Everyone was hitting the new technology further and straighter. Thanks for coming out to see us, Neil.

As much as we may not want to admit it, there’s only so much we can do about our golfing ability. But we can always avoid simple fitting mishaps that rob us of metres.
 
Get every metre you’re capable of
Two common mishaps are playing with a loft that launches the ball too high, and a shaft/head that generates too much spin for your swing speed. And many golfers often aren’t even aware it’s a problem.
 
 
 
 
No metre untapped
Once we know your swing characteristics, we can fit you with a loft and shaft that’s going to make it easier for you to launch the ball further down the fairway.
Come for a fitting >

Four reasons why

 
 
We’re looking to book 9-hole accompanied play with golfers who might not be as experienced or committed to the game.
 
 
 
 We don’t want to “give” you a lesson. But sometimes, while we’re enjoying a fun time out on the course, the smallest change or simplist insight, helps to make golf a great love affair.
 
 

 
Want to play 9 with us?
If you’d like us to reach out and see if we can schedule 9 holes with you (and perhaps a couple of other members), then please let us know.
