Hello golfers, 

The Masters is here… at least it feels like it. When you hear players talking about their recent practice rounds at Augusta, you know you don't have long to wait. Roll on next week. 

The way things are shaping up, we could be in for a classic, with a host of top names displaying the kind of form good enough to capture a Green Jacket. Take your pick from the likes of Jason Day, Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth, Louis Oosthuizen, Bubba Watson, Adam Scott… the list of genuine contenders goes on. 
Last weekend, Day laid down a marker in winning the WGC-Dell Match Play in Texas - and he's now the bookmakers' favourite to come out on top at Augusta National. 

The Australian defeated McIlroy en route to becoming the champion for the second time in three years, not that the Ulsterman should lose too much sleep over that, his game is looking pretty sharp as well. 

To a certain extent, form goes out of the window when the first Major of the season gets underway, but it's hard to see where a surprise winner comes from this year, especially with so many of the world's top ten coming into hot form. 

If you're yet to get the Masters buzz, we guarantee you'll have it by this time next week. Hopefully it'll also encourage you to get out and play a bit more, especially given the extra light in the evenings. 

Don't forget to pay us a visit if you've just dusted off the clubs for the first time this year, it's not too late for us to help you get your game in shape for the new season.

Course Update

This week the Green Keeping team managed to hollow tine and top dress all of the greens, so hopefully they should really start taking shape over the next few weeks ready for the busy season ahead.

 

FootJoy Shoe Fitting Day

We have a FootJoy Shoe Fitting Day scheduled on Saturday, 23 April from 10am - 2pm. For those of you thinking of investing in a new pair of shoes before the season is upon us this is the perfect opportunity to get your feet measured by a member of the FootJoy team to ensure you get the best fit possible. Due to the popularity of these events I would strongly advise booking an appointment as no guarantees can be made that you will be able to be seen on the day without one.

To book your spot please click here to contact the pro shop.

Callaway Fitting Day

We are delighted to announce we will be hosting Callaway here on Saturday, 9 April. They will be bringing all of their custom fitting options across their whole range and we will have ball monitoring to provide additional feedback.

If you are serious about your game and want to make improvements then a fitted club or set of clubs could be that missing piece to your golfing jigsaw.

Places will be limited so please click here to request your FREE space.
