Bunker Renovation Project (first week)

Monday saw the first day of bunker works by our contractors KimberGlen led by Paul Kimber and Niall Glen.

Work so far has seen the first fairway bunker almost constructed with the boys now starting around the greenside bunkers on the first.

We very much appreciate all your patience as the disruption continues for a bit.

Scratch Winter League Update

Sunday the 1st of November was the 2nd match in the Scratch Teams Winter League Season.

It was an away trip to Drumoig on an extremely windy day. The match was played in the best spirit of the game but got to admit a think the extreme weather conditions stopped what should have been a pretty well-balanced match.

Gusts off over 40mph were measured but that didn't stop the guys going out and giving it the best effort.

Drumoig ran out winners with the scoreline of 3-1. They even through in a hole in one as well.

Match one - Ryan Campbell and Alan Archibald Won 3&1
Match two - Gordon Archibald and Mark Johnston lost 2&1.
Match three - Gareth Birrell and Darren Guild lost 3&2.
Match four - Barry Logan and Damon Lee lost 3&2.

Well done to everyone who played in very tough conditions.

Next match is at HOME against Lundin Links on Sunday the 15th of November.

Many thanks
Craig McEwan

Driving in the wind

If there’s one positive that’s come out of tournaments without fans, it’s hearing more of the players’ conversations. Hearing players talking to their caddies pre-shot can be both confusing and fascinating, but you can certainly pick up some gems on the way!

Check the wind

You might’ve plucked a blade of grass and thrown it in the air to check the wind, but do you take into account both the direction and speed? Let's focus on how the wind impacts driving the ball for a moment.

Change your tee height

The image above is a little simplistic but you get the idea. When you’re playing downwind, 'tee it high and watch it fly'. However, when battling the breeze, try teeing the ball lower to keep it under the wind.

We're here to help

Like everything in golf, these small tweaks take some practise to get right. Whether you want to try these under our watchful eye or would like to hit the ball higher/lower, send us a message below and we'll be happy to help.
