Hello golfers,
Last week saw the European Tour tee it up in Turkey as part of their Final Series, with Denmark's Thorbjorn Olesen producing a sublime 20-under-par total to win by three strokes from England's David Horsey and Chinaman Haotong Li. The tournament included some new initiatives including the players taking part in a night golf event on the eve of the tournament and the 16th hole being extended meaning the tee was now placed on top of a villa behind a swimming pool.
Now that the daylight hours are shortening, we are starting a new initiative to keep you playing over the winter months. Our new Skills Challenge evenings will start next Thursday, 17 October and run weekly for an initial four week period. For more information on the challenges please click here.
Please note that winter rules have commenced as of Sunday, 30 October. This entitles you to lift, clean and place your ball within six inches of its original position on any closely mown surface.
Kind Regards,
Paul Schunter
Director of Golf & Operations

Titleist 917 Range
Titleist have announced their new line up for drivers and fairway woods, with the 917 range now available for fitting ahead of their launch later this month. The 917 models benefit from a new SureFit CG moveable sole weight which is the result of a five year research process. This weighting system, along with the SureFit hosel, allows for precise fitting and fine tuning the performance of the club to find the optimum ball flight for the golfer. Both the drivers and the fairways are available in two models (D2 and D3 plus F2 and F3) which offer different design profiles and performance characteristics.
For more information or to try one for yourself please speak to any of the pro shop team.
