Hello Golfers,

Welcome to the latest edition of my weekly newsletter.

It has been another beautiful week here at East Devon Golf Club with pretty much wall to wall sunshine. The golf course has been very busy as the membership slowly but surely are getting use to the online booking system! Life in the pro shop has picked up a bit this week and the lesson diary is also starting to fill up nicely. So all in all plenty of positivity in and around the club.

We are still offering a Click and Collect Service in the pro shop on all “Non-Essential Retail”
(as per the government's latest guidelines) which on the whole is working reasonably well. Your support through out this difficult time is very much appreciated and I am looking forward to
June 15th so that hopefully vague normality will return to the business?

The pro shop has the following conditions in place at the moment to help provide a safer retail solution for you:

  • Opening times 7:30am – 5:30pm seven days a week
  • Only 1 customer in the shop at any 1 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 have just taken delivery of our new ranges of men's and ladies lightweight and comfortable summer golf shoes from FootJoy, Skechers and ECCO, pop in and take a look next time you are at the club.

Enjoy your golf this week.

World of golf

It starts with a UK Swing

Since our last newsletter, Rory McIlroy – the number one ranked golfer in the world – has said he “had a hunch” that September’s Ryder Cup will be postponed.

Whilst no decision has been made, the European Tour has confirmed it'll be returning 'behind closed doors' in July. The first event will be the British Masters at Close House; the first of six consecutive tournaments on British soil.

Who knows, maybe by the time the second UK Swing comes around in October – Dunhill Links, Scottish Open and BMW PGA Championship – things may look a little different.

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

 
 
 
It's quiz time!

Golf's greatest comebacks

Everyone loves a comeback. Europe's remarkable victory in last year's Solheim Cup immediately springs to mind.

But, as much as we love watching it happen at the time, can you remember the details? Our monthly quiz for June will test your knowledge in this department. 

If anything, it's a great excuse to relive some of golf's most memorable moments. 

Good luck!

Thoughts for the course

Chipping is a fine art. It requires precision and skill, both of which may need sharpening after a few months away from the golf course. No shame in that! So, here are a couple of points to remember.

Landing spots when chipping

Landing Spots

Don’t focus on the hole. Instead, pick out a spot – a patch of grass on the green – to land your ball on. Consider how the slope and speed of the green, the lie of the ball and the club you choose may affect where the ball finishes after landing.

Practise makes perfect

When on the chipping green, place a towel on your landing spot (as seen in the above image) and take aim. As you get the hang of it, you can fold the towel to give yourself a smaller, more challenging target to work with.

Right tools for the job

Carrying on from our story above, one of the great things about chipping is that there are so many different ways you can play a shot. From high-lofted flop shots to simple bump-and-runs, the choice is yours!

Whichever shot you choose, you’ll need wedges in your bag that help you execute it.

That’s where the versatile Titleist Vokey SM8 wedges come into play. With six different grind options and a vast array of loft & bounce combinations, Titleist’s Vokey SM8 wedges cover all your short-game needs. They're also available in three stunning finishes, which you can see above.
