Pro's news

A very bright future

What a weekend we had last week with the Rugby and then Rory in the golf.

Unfortunately, it was not so good out on the course with the return of snow and another cancelled competition.

That is all set to change as we come into the final week of the Spring league on Saturday and then our show piece Senior Scratch Cup on Sunday with the strongest field you can imagine testing themselves against each other on our course this Sunday.

There will be a shotgun start at 9am and then the second round will get under way at 2pm, so please come down and watch as our top amateurs in Ireland who will be using our event as a warm up for the first championship of the season the following week at the West.

Congratulations to Alex Maguire who will be missing our Scratch Cup this weekend as he has gone to Wales to compete for the Irish U-18 boys team against Wales, a great achievement and the start of a very bright future.

Coaching news

What are your 2018 goals?

Our coaching is starting to gain momentum with the slight up turn in the weather and next week we will have the usual lessons available at the same time for the ladies on Wednesday at 11am and 12.30.

This will be the last ladies’ lessons for a few weeks and we will start up again on Tuesday 24th April for 6 more weeks. With the clocks changing this weekend and the lighter evenings we will be starting a session later in the day coming into the hopefully warmer nights.

This will start on Wednesday 25th April and run for the same period as the Tuesday lessons. I will be covering the same on Tuesdays and Wednesdays each week. These groups will be limited to 8 per lesson and would need to be booked prior to them in the shop or by clicking here.

Junior coaching

Our junior lessons are really picking up and coming into the season will only get busier. Remember these are limited to 12 juniors per session and must be pre booked here. I would really ask and encourage the parents to come out on these evenings, there really is not a nicer place to spend an hour when the weather improves.

I would like to thank all the current parents and grandparents that come out at present as it is a real help. The lessons take place at 4.30 and 5.30 every Tuesday and Thursday as well as 1pm on a Saturday.

Next week we will be hitting full shots as we have been spending the last few weeks working on pitching and chipping. It is still cold so make sure the children are well wrapped up.

Shop news

Offers not to miss

We still have a lot of offers in the Shop, so come in and have a look around.

An honest look

If you’ve been in the pro shop recently you’ll have seen lots of new products displayed proudly around the store, many of which are new for 2018. One that’s generated quite a bit of interest is Skechers' GO GOLF Pro V.3 golf shoe, so we thought we'd take a closer look at it in this week's newsletter.

Skechers GO GOLF Pro V.3 golf shoe

When considering a new pair of golf shoes there are three main factors to consider: comfort, performance and the shoe's outsole.

The Pro V.3 by Skechers boasts some of the lightest and most responsive cushioning we've ever witnessed in a golf shoe, producing cloud-like comfort on every step you take. The fact that Matt Kuchar trusts this shoe enough to wear on tour says all you need to know regarding its performance, whilst the cleated outsole provides fantastic traction no matter the weather.
