Lovely sunrise

Frosty starts

An unlikely item to find

Just a quick thank you to Barbara and Carole for helping with a litter pick down the road bordering the course this week. We managed to clear 15 bags of general plastic waste and rubbish from our land bordering the road. We did actually find a car windscreen next to the tee on the 8th on the Warren.

So, if anyone is missing one please give me a call and I will drop it back to you. Begs the question, how do you lose an entire windscreen?

Rubbish 8 bags worth

Getting into the spirit

Thank you very much to the Vets of the Championship for inviting me to their annual Christmas dinner and golf. Thank you to Richard and Martin for their company, I had a lovely day with a cracking Christmas Lunch afterwards.

The Vets Section has grown quite nicely over the last few years and a lot of that is down to its committee. Well done gentlemen for the time and effort you all put in, especially John Joyce for all he does to make this section such a success.

Take a load off

Low, middle and upper back pain are common symptoms among golfers of any age and if you suffer from any sort of back pain, you know only too well how restricting it can be to your game.

The golf swing is a pretty intense movement for the whole body and carrying a bag full of clubs, waterproofs and whatever else is at the bottom of your bag doesn't help.

However, switching to a trolley will take this pressure away from your back and allow you to focus on the most important thing – your game.

Don't let the rain spoil your game

Don’t let a little rain stop you from getting out on the course and exercising this winter. With Galvin Green’s range of wet weather clothing, you can be assured that you’ll remain dry and comfortable throughout your round, no matter how long it decides to rain for.

Galvin Green's Aaron waterproof jacket

If you’re wearing a waterproof suit that's several years old, it might be time to consider upgrading to a new and improved version.

Not only do you need something that is fully waterproof, but it needs to fit well without being too restrictive during your swing.

The jacket you can see in the picture above is Galvin Green's Aaron, which boasts Gore-Tex protection for the ultimate in waterproof protection.

We think it's one of the most stylish options around, so why not click the button below to take a closer look?
