Hello Golfers,

Welcome to the latest edition of my weekly newsletter.

As I mentioned last time, I finally managed to get out and play the back nine with my son last Thursday, and what a pleasure it was. The golf understandably wasn't of the highest standard, but it was nice to be back out there and enjoying the pleasures that only East Devon Golf Club can bring.

On Monday we opened up the 18 hole option for our members which has proved to have been very popular, we are still running a full booking system with restrictions in place. I know that one or two of you! are stilling having problems with booking in, but we are here to help, so please do not hesitate to contact me in the pro shop 01395 445195 any time if you need assistance.

Boris dropped another bombshell earlier in the week stating that “Non Essential Retail” was remaining closed until the 15th June!

The pro shop has been re-open for two weeks now and we have been offering a safe retail solution for our membership with the following conditions in place:

  • Opening times 8:00am – 6:00pm seven days a week
  • Only one customer in the shop at any one time
  • Safe distancing
  • One way system in place
  • Protective screen around counter/serving area
  • Hand sanitiser available
  • Payment by card payment or account only

We are currently offering a click and collect option on larger items, and you can either call or
email me if the pro shop is closed. Product can be collected from the pro shop or delivered to a pre-arranged place.

Many thanks to all of you for your continued support through this difficult time

Enjoy this week's read...

Pro's news

Could this really happen?

Over the past couple of weeks, we've been lucky enough to watch Tiger, Rory and a select few others take to the course to raise money for charities.

But, it's got us thinking...

With the PGA Tour set to return next month and the European Tour the month after - both without fans for a while - will September's Ryder Cup match between Europe and USA go ahead? 

If it does, it'll likely be without spectators but would that be the same spectacle? Think back to Paris in 2018 when the cameras panned around the first tee at the start of each match to thousands of fans in the grandstand. It was a sight to behold.

Let us know what you think by sending us a message here.

 
 
 
New glove, anyone?

As a sport, golf has been given the green light ahead of the vast majority of others.

So, when you do get back out on the course, there's a good chance those crumpled up gloves at the bottom of your bag will need replacing.

We have a great selection of gloves in-store that are still in their packaging, including FootJoy's brilliant range - the #1 glove in golf!

From all-weather gloves to the softest leather gloves around, get in touch with us below and we'll be happy to help you out.

FootJoy gloves - available through us

Thoughts for the course

Home advantage is a phenomenon across most sports. In golf, playing a competition or match on a course you know like the back of your hand has obvious benefits. However, when playing a hole for the hundredth time, it’s easy to fall into the trap of playing it the same way you always have. But, what if there’s another way?

Risk and reward - take on the challenge?

This is where the question of risk and reward comes in.

Does the potential risk of bringing danger into play, be it trees or hazards, outweigh the potential reward?

Next time you’re standing on the tee, weigh up the potential risks and rewards of pulling out your driver. Don’t just think about avoiding doubles and trebles, consider the potential birdie or scoring 3-points. Likewise, if you struggle with a particular tee-shot, think about alternative ways to play that hole.

It’s an interesting thought and one that we’d encourage before you next play. Feel free to send us a message and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.

Confident in the challenge?

We’ve all stood on a tee box at some point and struggled to muster up the courage to take out the driver. But, when you do, the key is to commit to the shot at hand, rather than trying to guide the ball down the fairway - something a lot of golfers will be doing after a few months without playing.

Do you have confidence in your driver?
Cobra Speedzone Drivers 

When opting for the ‘risk’ strategy, you need to have confidence in both your ability to pull off the shot at hand and your weapon of choice. Weighing up the risk and reward in your head is a very different process when you know you’ve got the right tool for the job.

Luckily, there are a couple of options in Cobra's range that both offer something different. Speedzone is perfect for anyone who wants to fine-tune their performance, whilst Speedzone Xtreme is all about forgiveness. Head to our website to compare them and to watch our review video.
