Last-minute gift ideas
Sometimes the simplest of gifts can be the best, when you look outside it is not that nice, it can be horrible in fact. But golfers still want to get out in it so the most important thing is to make sure you are dressed for the weather. A nice bobble hat, a snood, a pair of mitts, they all make it so much more enjoyable during the poor weather. We have a small selection of Callaway gift packs including a Snood, a Bobble hat and a pair of Callaway tour mittens in a lovely box, very easy to wrap, for only €55 so in essence, it is three for the price of two. These would make a great gift for the winter golfer and tick every box.
Balls are always welcome no matter how small a gift you might think it is all of us like to get golf balls as presents. Don’t forget if you have ordered in logo balls for Christmas to pick them up as these once again have proved to be a great little present for all.

We have Junior sets in to suit all ages as well as full sets for both men and ladies in stock. These are great value as a full set including bag is only €299 from Macgregor golf. Our junior sets start at €100 up €150 and we have them for all ages so get one of your sons/daughters, nieces or nephews a present to get them going. It will not be long till the golf season comes around again, so have them ready. The days will be getting longer and our lessons are still continuing even in the depths of cold, but the summer ahead will be a welcome thing to look forward to.
If you do have any young relatives this is a great time to start thinking about golf for next year with our junior intake happening in the new year. We have a lot on for the juniors and it can be a super place to make friends for life and a sport that will stick with you forever.
I didn’t mention it, but we have a great selection of golf bags and have some lovely waterproof bags in stock. These can be the best present for an avid golfer as they can allow golf to be played in the worst of weather while still keeping everything that you need dry and usable.
We still have a great selection of drivers and fairways from PING, Callaway and Titleist and all are 2020 stock so there is no problem changing them after Christmas if not quite the one that your present was meant for.

We have one unclaimed PowaKaddy FW3 in stock so if you looking for it, give us a call and we can hold it. Next year PowaKaddy are both changing the model and the price, so this is the one to get hold off before it goes. |
There is so much for that last-minute present from waterproofs, shoes, jumpers, chillouts, 2020 range of crested shirts already in from PING, come in and ask over the next week and it will make life so much easier and you can relax over the festive time rather than stressing.
We have Garmin watches and range finders now in stock as well on a limited supply that make the absolute perfect gift for any golfer. These have become the last must for golfers over the past few seasons.

Pop into the pro shop and we can help you out with any of your needs. |
Pro shop sweep
On Saturday 28th we will be running our pro shop sweep over 15 holes and will be making this a semi-open event so if you wish to bring a guest over the Christmas holidays and play a bit of competitive golf then the 28th is the day.
It will be individual scores as well as a team competition with two scores to count. There will be a nearest the pin on all three par threes and a straightest drive on the 12th hole. The entry will be €10 each and that will include entry into the twos and all money will be given back out in prizes.
Hopefully the day will be good and the weather will make it fun and enjoyable. The timesheet is available as you know on the BRS and we look forward to a great day ahead. It will be the ideal day to get rid of all that festive food that will be resting in your tum after the previous few days.

Swing simulator bay
I don’t know if you all noticed over the AGM time but we have taken delivery of a full swing simulator bay that will be constructed in the new year in the hall. This will be a permanent addition and will really open up all possibilities for both custom fitting and indoor coaching and analysis. This coupled with our TrackMan facilities will give us untold options and a facility that no one else in the area will be able to match in 2020.
Will keep you informed as to progress in all of this and how it could help your game in the future. There have been a few false dawns on this but now it is happening and we really look forward to the extra options it will bring 12 months of the year for both the club and our business.
On this, we will have full custom fit options for our two major ambassador brands of Callaway and PING but will also be able to fit for TaylorMade and Titleist at a slightly lower level. It is exciting and will be well worth a look at.

Thank you
At this point, I would like to thank you all for your support over the year in the shop and look forward to 2020 with a new look in shop and possibilities that can lie ahead for all in the club. It can be a happy time of the year but can also be a very sad time for a lot of people as it is a time of reflection of the year gone and many years before.
We have said a sad farewell to more members this year and it can be hard to believe at times that they will not be walking into the shop or talking to you on the phone but in the midst of sadness their memories bring happiness as well, and that is what keeps us going.
Enjoy the Christmas period, relax, remember, look forward and get out onto our fabulous course and run into 2020 with a positive and exciting outlook. It could be an amazing year, it could be the end of 30 years of misery for those Liverpool supporters, highly unlikely, but looking possible!

How old is your waterproof jacket? A recent survey indicated that 60% of golfers are wearing one that is over two years old and if you’re one of them – or if you’re struggling to remember when you bought yours – it might be time to consider upgrading this winter. |
 | Lots of today’s jackets come with a two or three-year waterproof warranty, which means that if you’re part of the above stat your jacket’s best days may be behind you.
|
 | We have plenty of options available in the pro shop, including FootJoy’s HydroLite V2 rain jacket, which is 15% lighter than the original HydroLite with a ton more stretch to keep you swinging freely! |
