New arrivals

The new spring summer range of FootJoy clothing is here and displayed in the Performance Centre. The range this year looks amazing with a mixture of shirts, vests, chill outs and summer trousers. The colours of the collection are very basic but look very summery and attractive. Pop into the shop when your next up and treat yourself for when the sun arrives in England.

Competition news

Captains' Drive In/Gala dinner

The Captains’ Drive In took place on Saturday morning with around 100 players taking part. This event happens every March, a fun team event with a shotgun start at 9am, with last year's captains' teeing off the 9th and the new captains' for the year off the 1st which has been a Chase tradition to say goodbye and welcome them into their new captaincy. The official changeover is always a few days before at the clubs AGM.

Shot of the day came from 2017 Seniors Captain Keith Palmer, teeing off on the 9th hole over the water to a back flag which actually pitched 6 inches from the hole and finished 8ft away. Very impressive with it being the first shot of the day with lots of members watching and he made the birdie 2. Well done Keith!

The Gala Dinner in the evening was very well supported and a fantastic night. The three course meal was beautiful and the entertainment from Elvis was first class.

Thank you Mr Captain for a great night.

Senior news

Dates for your diaries

The Senior Captain's Charity day is on June 4th. A Senior Pairs Competition open to Seniors, Ladies and Guests. A list of tee times to enter will soon be on the noticeboard for you to enter. This is our main Charity fund raiser so please enter.

The Senior open is on 3rd September. Look out for entry form on the Noticeboard in the near future.

This year we are playing Wishaw & Sutton Coldfield on Monday 13th August. To date, 32 people have already registered their interest in playing so only a handful of places are still available.

Cost is £35 and includes coffee / bacon roll on arrival and a two course meal after the match.

A non-returnable deposit of £10 is now due and should be paid by end of April to guarantee a place. This can be paid to Phil Wilson who is organising the event at the Monday “Leading Edge” desk, or in the normal way via the competitions box.

Doesn't he look good?

There’s a well-known phrase: if you can’t beat them, join them. So while it’s unlikely you’ll be challenging for a Ryder Cup place later this year, why not join the world’s best in following the latest golf trends?

This stylish Galvin Green Dawson sweater has been getting a lot of attention in our shop. Like all of Galvin Green’s premium clothing, it’s designed specifically for golf with its Insula fabric creating effective and long-lasting thermal insulation with breathability, so you stay nice and warm but don’t overheat and sweat.

Spikeless or cleated?

Having the confidence to swing powerfully comes from knowing that you have a stable base, which requires footwear you can trust. There are two types of outsole on modern golf shoes – cleated and spikeless – and we stock a range of both here in the shop, including these two fantastic options.

Opt for off-course versatility
With spring finally on our doorstep it’s a great time of year to consider a pair of spikeless shoes. This Under Armour Performance SL model has a waterproof upper and, despite being spikeless, special rotational resistance traction elements deliver all the grip you need on and off the course.

Choose stability and traction
Get the tour look as well as fantastic grip and stability with this Under Armour Spieth 2 shoe. It’s been created with the help of Jordan Spieth and boasts Gore-Tex waterproof protection, lightweight underfoot cushioning and Rotational Resistance spikes that enhance stability and improve traction.
