Whatever your reason is, we're offering £20 OFF selected bags in-store when you trade-in your old one with us - no matter its condition! |

Two Man Texas Scramble With Saturday a complete washout, I feared the worst for Sunday but was staggered to see how well the course had drained overnight and hearing your feedback about the course Sunday afternoon is testament to our green staff providing a course suitable for play all year round. With many pairs taking part the results are published on our results board and below.
- 1st - Mike Spink & Derek Robinson - Nett 61.
- 2nd - Nick Bisicker & Steve Walker - Nett 62.
And 4 pairs tied on nett 64.

Rory finds his range... A month out from The Masters and Rory McIlroy admitted to playing some of his ‘best golf ever’ after securing a one-shot victory at the unofficial fifth Major – The Players Championship. |
His game has been so close for a little while now and it has always been a case of 'when' and not 'if' for the Northern Irishman. So, after struggling with his driver all-day on Saturday (hitting just four of 13 fairways - see it happens to the best, too), McIlroy snuck in some extra practice that evening and it paid dividends. Standing on the long par-4 18th tee with a one-shot lead on Sunday evening, Rory knew a par would be good enough to earn his first victory in a year. With water all the way down the left side, the wind blowing towards the hazard and a slight dogleg to contend with, McIlroy hit his 'Sunday best' and split the fairway down the middle on his way to carding an effortless par and a cheque for over $2 million. |

Quiz time
Rory McIlroy became only the second ever British player to win The Players Championship.

Tiger, Tiger, Tiger A certain Tiger Woods failed to take advantage of the rules during his second round at TPC Sawgrass, as a quadruple-bogey seven at the iconic par-3 17th island green all but ended his hopes of a third Players title. After sinking his tee-shot short in the drink, Woods headed to the drop zone and repeated the feat once again. However, considering the left-back pin placement and the position in which Woods' first ball entered the water, it turned out he could have dropped on the walk-way to the green (essentially, the fringe) and been lining up a 30-foot putt for par rather than facing another tricky wedge shot over the drink. This is where knowing your rules can really make all the difference, so make sure you're clued up by taking a copy of the new Rules of Golf book from the club. |
With the return of more golf-friendly weather and the Masters just around the corner, the season is edging ever closer to getting underway. So, with that in mind, let us ask you a question: What are you doing differently to ensure 2019 is a better year on the course than 2018 was? |
