Paul Davies

Hello Golfers,

Well firstly a very happy New Year to you all, and I hope you enjoyed the Christmas break. I certainly did with my three kids and three grandkids all in the house for Christmas Day. It was hectic to say the least, and when Clara left on the 30th with Jessica, William and Phoebe I sat and stared into space for 10 minutes! Motherhood is definitely still the hardest job in my opinion...

Back to business this week and we hope you enjoy the read!

Shop news

Thank you for your support...

Shop-wise we had a good trading spell over Christmas, and the January Sale is now in full swing. Pop in for a browse as we clear stock to make way for some exciting 2019 product.

With that in mind there is a new Taylor Made range of M5and M6 clubs coming soon, and the early noises are very positive for these clubs. As ever we will have demo kit, and fitting with Darryl in our excellent studio, to help you make a measured selection for new clubs.

We are continuing with most of last year’s clothing brands, but have added some Mizuno clothing into the mix. Shoes will remain FootJoy and Skechers, but with a twist of Under Armour in the men’s section.

PING Fitting Day

Our first fitting day takes place on Monday, 11 March and will run from 12:00pm through to 4:00pm, by PING.

Academy news

Coaching at Cleethorpes

Lesson-wise we are still offering the SEVEN for FIVE lesson deal at £100, click here to book in for that all important pre-season check-up. Note these can be taken in the studio as weather dictates.

Darryl is continuing with the adult beginner classes, and is continually rolling out more junior classes and activity as the junior side of the club seems to be snowballing under his guidance. Pop in to discuss getting your children/grandchildren into his excellent programmes.

Other news

The World of Sport

Sport-wise a great win over Liverpool by Man City makes for an interesting title race for the neutrals, with that result indeed bringing Daryl’s Spurs back into the reckoning. Man United look reborn under Ole, whilst my boys lost ground in The Championship with a loss at Blackburn. Forest look good, as do several other teams snarling at the heels of Leeds and Norwich.

Grimsby narrowly lost to Mansfield over the Christmas period after a good run, and then nearly shut out Palace in the FA Cup on Saturday, despite being down to 10 men after two minutes. I know many of you went so comments to share please about the day would be great!

Course update

Well I am looking forward to lighter nights, but the weather thus far this winter has been so good. This has allowed the course to more or less stay fully open, and Steve and the gang are doing a great job in preparing the course for the 2019 summer season. Keep up the great work guys, it is well noted by the members what a fine job you are doing. Please recommend membership and green fees to friends and family as this is still the best route to healthy membership and green fee numbers. We have seen three clubs close in Lincolnshire in the past three months, so we know how tough it is for golf clubs right now, and I am proud to be part of such a forward thinking and active golf community. BE PROUD OF YOUR CLUB! It is in an excellent state all round.

Sunday Lunches

Well done to Janine and her crew for a great run of clubhouse trade in December. Why not try her excellent Sunday Lunch menu sometime?

Summer Knockouts

The Summer Knockout entries are now being taken in the shop. Let’s get a bumper entry this year, £4 for the Roots and Scratch, and £8 per couple for the RA shield, entries with payment in the shop.

Winter health check

A new year always brings with it a sense of renewed motivation when it comes to improving your golf game – and 2019 isn’t any different. So, before you head to the course next, go into the garage and give your equipment the once-over to make sure all is in order for the year ahead.

What will you find inside yours?

Is it half-broken tees and scuffed golf balls galore in there? Perhaps your glove is so tattered you don’t know which holes are for your fingers?

What about your grips: have they worn away so badly that you have a better chance at holding on to the shaft? Or maybe the leather upper on your shoes is beginning to crack?

Whatever it is, come and speak to us – we can fix you up with the best the golf industry has to offer, from tees to shoes to any accessory you can think of.

Golfin' in the rain

If last year’s “Beast from the East” taught us anything, it’s that you definitely need a golf-specific rain jacket when you’re playing golf in the early months of the season.

Indeed, you might be thinking twice about taking to the course when the forecast doesn't look great this month - and we don't blame you if you're as ill-prepared as the golfer in the photo above.

But we have the perfect solution in-store that'll keep you dry whilst playing golf in a downpour. ProQuip's Pro-Flex EVO jacket - shown in the second photo here - comes with Teflon coating and is made from an incredibly lightweight fabric, helping to keep you protected during the most brutal of conditions.

This isn't the only piece of stylish rainwear that we have in-store, so be sure to pop in for a browse next time you're at the club.

I hope you have a great week.
