NOTE: Please ignore the first paragraph in last week's newsletter that read

"Competition Entries Members please note that, because of the continuing problems related to last minute withdrawals and no shows etc., future competition entries will require a non-refundable payment in advance. Extenuating circumstances will be considered upon appeal."

The above message about pay in advance only applies to Senior Competitions. Men's Competitions and Ladies Competitions remain pay on the day unless otherwise specified on entry sheets.


In order to balance the number of Saturday and Sunday winter league competitions, the committee has decided to swap the competitions this weekend. Sunday 6th will now be Winter League and Saturday 5th will be the Monthly Stableford.

This Monday, myself (Dan) and Mark Hall had a trip up to PING's European Custom Fitting Centre at Gainsborough Golf Club. We were both like kids in a sweet shop with hundreds of putters as we walked in followed by endless combinations of irons and woods available. This is a fantastic facility that offers three undercover fitting bays specifically designed by PING to ensure you get the ultimate performance from your PING golf equipment.

The centre is equipped with the latest Trackman launch monitor technology working alongside PING's own N-Flight software. The launch monitor and software measures impact and ball flight data, with this extreme accuracy PING Fitting Technicians are able to analyse the data and custom fit to extreme accuracy.

The two types of appointment they offer are as follows…

- 60 minute appointment - this is tailored for golfers looking for an individual Iron, Metal Wood or Putter fitting. £20.00

- 90 minute appointment - this is tailored for golfers looking for multiple product offerings, as well as a complete 14-club fitting experience. £30.00

  

To book please contact a member of the professional team as you are unable to contact Gainsborough Golf Club directly to book.
