An Exciting Week Ahead

It's an exciting week ahead with the Open Championship starting on Thursday at Royal Portrush. Its been a long time coming and much planning and preparation has gone in to this event and it promises to be quite a specticle. I'm sure many of you will be travelling up so enjoy the week either there or on TV - here's hoping we can bring in a home winner!

Close To Another Major Title

Rob Brazil came close to another major title last week, he reached the semi-final of the North of Ireland Championship loosing out to Peter O'Keefe. This year's Championship was played at the Castlerock and Portstewart courses as Royal Portrush was out of action due to the Open.

Competition news

Captain's Prize

Best of luck to everyone competing this weekend in the Captain's Prize - the major competition on the Men's calander which will, as always, be well contested. The course is looking great and typically you can expect the rough to be a little longer and the greens a touch faster, so be prepared for a slightly tougher test.

As it will also be strokes, remember to think smart - weigh up your risk and reward shots and being in play is always a plus. The old saying holds true, if you get in to trouble, get it back in to play.

Good luck to the Men's Committee and our Captain Brian, we are looking forward to an exciting couple of weekends ahead.

Coaching news

Do You Know What's Available?

Do you know what is available at your club?

Many of you have availed of the world class facility that is our coaching studio where we carry the very best on coaching and fitting technology and we now offer personalised TPI based training programs specific to your golfing needs.

TrackMan Lessons

In a TrackMan lesson, we will use TrackMan and video analysis to build a clear picture of your game, uncovering any problem areas and developing strategies to improve.

At the end of your session, you will receive a detailed report containing all the data and video analysis from the session and the way forward to help improve your game faster.

TrackMan Gapping Session

One of the most important questions you need to be able to answer in golf is "how far do you hit your clubs?" In order to know which club to hit in a certain situation, you need to know your exact carry distances.

A TrackMan Gapping Session gives you the relevant information to help you make the correct decisions on the golf course saving you shots.

During this session, you will hit a series of shots with every club in your bag to get accurate measurements for each club. A detailed report will be given to you after the session.

TrackMan Combine Test

TrackMan Combine is a standardised test that enables you to identify the strengths and weaknesses in your golf game.

Discover the clear correlation between your TrackMan Combine results and your success on the golf course.

The TrackMan Combine consists of 60 shots hit to selected distances. TrackMan scores each shot on a scale of 0 - 100 based on your accuracy.

When the session is complete, every golfer receives a full appraisal and follow-on action plan.

More bang for your buck

Golf clothing has come a long way from the old-style knickerbockers worn in the early 1900s - you can hardly imagine popping to the supermarket in a pair of those today. Fortunately, these days, golf brands make clothing that is high performing on the course but looks good enough to set the trend off it too.

FootJoy SS19 apparel

Take this polo from FootJoy. The attention is certainly in the detail with the foulard print trim on the button placket offering a classy addition to an already smart-looking polo. Even technology comes to the fore as the top's moisture-wicking properties make sure that, when it comes to the course, you are primed for performance.

This polo is a worthy addition to any golfing wardrobe, so come in and take a closer look at FJ's range next time you're down the club.

Motocaddy M1 electric trolley

In the blue corner we have the M1 electric trolley, which is yet another brilliant option.
