Change is Coming

Golf is a game that we all love. It’s one that produces an array of emotions within us, from sheer delight to utter despair - usually one shot to the next! That being said, it doesn’t mean that golf is perfect, which is why change is on the horizon.

We’ve spoken a lot in our weekly newsletters about the Rules Modernisation initiative by the R&A that will come into play in 2019. Well, in addition to this, golf’s governing body has announced that there will be a new World Handicapping System from 2020, designed to create a more ‘consistent measure of playing ability’. It will include changes such as a maximum handicap of 54, social rounds counting towards your handicap, and an average-based handicap that takes into account your best 8 scores from the previous 20 rounds.

There’ll be much more on this as we edge closer to 2020 but let us know your initial thoughts by clicking here.

New Stock

Callaway Rouge Drivers and Irons, X Series Drivers and Irons, Callaway Stand and Cart bags too have all arrived!

HGGC PGA Charity Pro-Am - Friday, 13 July 2018

Hazel Grove Golf Club will be hosting their annual Charity PGA Pro-Am next year on Friday, 13 July 2018 (so plenty of time to save the date). The cost of entering a team of 3 is just £299 and your fourth team member will be a PGA Professional. Your PGA Professional will be with you for the best part of the day, sharing their golfing knowledge and experiences which will definitely benefit your team.

HOW IT WORKS
On arrival you will allocated a PGA Pro to your team (of 3 amateurs), you’ll spend some time getting to know your Pro, then off you go – just treat the game like a casual round of golf. There will be 2 competitions running at the same time. One for the team as a whole and one for the Pros who will be entering their own competition alongside the team comp, the Pro will be focussed on his/her own game as there is a substantial Pro’s Prize Fund at the end but it really is a remarkable experience.

If you’ve ever thought of playing in a Pro-Am and haven’t got round to it yet, then you should strongly consider playing in this one.

It’s a great day all round and also a good way for businesses to entertain customers/reward staff for just £100 per person (think of the cost of playing 9 or 18 holes with a Pro!). For £100 you will be playing in a fantastic comp, with 18 holes of golf, bacon sandwich/coffee, good camaraderie and a meal after the game – this is excellent value and one not to be missed, plus you’ll have the opportunity to meet lots of other people/professionals and win prizes. This is open to any golfer of a reasonable standard (Ladies and Gents).

If you are not able to enter but know someone else who may be interested, please pass on the flyer/entry form. It’s not restricted to members and most companies will appreciate the opportunity. If you can’t get a team together but would like to play yourself, just give James your name and he will try and put a team together for you.

Why not sponsor a Hole (or two) for just £50 per hole? BARGAIN!
You provide your company banner – we will do the rest. It’s a great way to promote your company profile and brand awareness as this event will be widely advertised (if interested in this exceptional offer, see James)

Sponsor the Balls
Room for only one sponsor – the first to approach
