Course news

Hole 6

Thanks for all of your positive comments about the reopening of the 6th hole! We’re glad you’re enjoying the challenge it presents – beware though the pin positions have been kind so far!

The aerial view (taken from our GPS scorecard on the APP) gives a great insight into how the hole plays and the best strategy. Without a doubt your tee shot needs to be down the right of the fairway so you can hit down the full length of the green! Or if you’re feeling brave – a long straight drive through the old temporary green and you might sneak on the green and take the water out of play completely! Make sure you let us know how you get on!

Coaching news

Here’s some words from Keely about Emma and Steve…

“It’s such a good feeling breaking personal best records and I was really pleased to hear that Emma and Steve Bostock both achieved this on the same round a few weeks ago at Manston.

This duo have been having lessons from me every 2/3 weeks for the past few months and both have come on leaps and bounds technique wise and the proof is in the scores.

Steve broke the 40 mark for 9 holes shooting a superb 38 but not to be outdone Emma broke the 50 mark and shot a fabulous 48.

It’s brings me such joy as a coach to receive such great news and actually witness the enjoyment golf is bringing them. Congratulations you two and here’s to continuing to breaking personal bests in 2018”

Important news

Our New Era has Begun

Last week you received an email from us asking for your help. It wasn’t anything too onerous or time-consuming; simply sparing 20 seconds of your time to complete your golfing profile.

The reason we’re asking you to do this is so that we can start sending you personalised content that is more relevant to your golfing needs. For example, if you’re a lady golfer with a handicap of 28 then the weekly emails you receive will include ladies product that will be suited to your playing ability. Likewise, if you’re a gentleman off 12, we will begin sending you content that will help you to get your handicap down to the holy grail of single-figure digits.

Thank you to everyone who has already completed their profile and for those of you who haven’t been able to as of yet, please try and do so in the near future.

Leather or synthetic?

From rain and thermal options to tour-favoured leather and more budget-friendly synthetic, there are lots of gloves for you to consider, which is why we’re here to lend a helping hand.

Tour favourite
Why do tour players choose leather? Well, leather gloves offer the best feel with the traction you need to generate power. It’s also moisture resistant so will stay soft for longer.

One glove that fits the bill perfectly is the Callaway Tour Authentic glove that is worn on tour. It’s made from premium cabretta leather for responsive feel with great grip, while perforations on the fingers and thumb increase breathability so you don’t get a sweaty hand.

Great value
Synthetic materials are stretchy and lightweight, so suit a golf glove perfectly. They’re often used alongside leather palm sections to enhance flexibility, while they should also be more durable than leather models at the cost of a little less feel.

Why not come and try the Callaway Xtreme 365 glove? Its Opti-Flex material is designed to offer great feel, flexibility and increased durability for improved grip in all weather conditions.
