Greetings from Manston Golf Centre
Manston Golf Centre

Hello and welcome to this week's newsletter! With the weather over the past week proving significantly better than that of previous weeks, I hope you managed to dust off the clubs and finally get onto the golf course! We even managed a glimpse of sun! Long may that last!

This week, we have a reminder about the PING Demo Day, Michael and Max's visit to PING HQ and some kind words from PGA Professional John Brotherton. Enjoy!

Michael and Max's visit to PING HQ

This week Michael and Max were lucky enough to be invited by PING to visit their European headquarters in Gainsborough to get an inside look at how their clubs are manufactured and to brought up to date on latest fitting techniques and systems. As well as improving their PING knowledge, they visited the PING tour truck and were shown some exclusive items from PING such as an exact replica of Bubba Watson's driver and quite a few gold putters!

Later in the day they got to have a look an exact replica of Bubba Watson's pink G30 driver. Just to show the importance of a custom fitting Bubba's specifications are shown below:

- G30 9 degree head set to 8.2 degrees
- Grafalloy Bi-Matrix X Stiff shaft
- 44.5" long
- Midsize grip with 10 layers of tape at the top and 12 at the bottom
- The grip is also set 10 degrees open

Both Max and Michael thoroughly enjoyed their time with PING and would like to thank them for their time, and remember we have our very own demo day on Thursday, 19 February so you too can try the latest equipment!

The demo day will enable you to try out the latest PING clubs for the current season. This includes the NEW G30 LS Tec driver, ladies Rhapsody range and Glide wedges. Whether you're interested in a new set of clubs or just are interested in having a go then this is definitely the Demo day for you. BE SURE TO BOOK A SLOT AS TIMES ARE FILLING UP FAST!

A Message from Keely

Firstly, I need to give a huge thank you for the support I have received through Clive Knight from Blaze Neon last season. Without their help I would not have been able to compete in the majority of my scheduled tournaments. Some of you reading this may be aware my dream has always been to play and compete full time and I am willing to work as hard as I can to make this a reality. This year I plan to play south region PGA tournaments which the majority of the time I'm competing against male professionals, some who are ex-European tour players; as well as WPGA events up and down the country, my schedule then stretches further out by attending the Ladies Tartan Tour events hosted only in Scotland as well as the Ladies LET access tour. (The access tour is very similar to the men's challenge tour if you're unsure) This allows me to build great tournament experience and the chance to get to final stage of Q school for 2015 where I have the chance to compete for my European Tour Card.

This ambition and dream of mine comes at a huge expense that is hard to fund alone. I write this message with the hope that someone reading this will be able to help me cover these costs through sponsorship. I currently have in place a great sponsorship deal with Blaze Neon, where the company is able to advertise on my clothing and golf bag, and they also receive golf lessons as part of the deal. If you would like the chance to help me reach my dream whilst improving your golf then please contact me at keely@manstongolf.co.uk for further information about sponsorship opportunities.

9th pond is complete

If you've visited us over the past month or so then you will have noticed the major changes our golf course is undertaking. We're pleased to announce the ground works are now complete and all we're missing now is grass! Very soon you'll see the re-turfing taking place.

Peter Sparks has been working extremely hard on reshaping certain parts of the golf course to ensure that you get the best possible experience when you visit us. You can see in the picture the newly shaped pond on the 9th hole, but this doesn't really do it justice, you'll have to come and see it!

Thank you for taking the time to read what I have planned for 2015, I wish everyone reading this a successful year.

Some Kind words from PGA Professional John Brotherton

"Brian Gimes had a series of lessons with me in 2013 which bought him a standard of golf which gave him a great amount of pleasure. Unfortunately in 2014 because he was enjoying his golf so much he didn't feel it was necessary to see me, even for a 9 hole playing lesson and the driver started misbehaving to such a degree that he couldn't get it airborne at all!

2 lessons later it was a pleasure seeing his smiling face as he explained to me how well it was going and how it hurts his playing partners to admit that it is much better! Well done Brian!
