Course with a view!

The 18th hole at Bracken Ghyll is such a great finishing hole. A drivable green for the long hitters but quite a challenge just clearing the ‘Ghyll’ for many!

However you play this hole it sure is one you’ll remember and a hole I always enjoy playing. We’d love to hear some of your stories (nightmares or successes) when playing the 18th!

Golf on Tour

The UK Swing begins

The British Masters finally gave European Tour fans something to cheer. Whilst the Tour had technically resumed with a couple of weakened fields in Austria, this was the first ‘proper’ European Tour event since lockdown began all those months ago. Renato Paratore was the eventual winner, with the young Italian going 62 holes before his first bogey on the 9th in the final round.

Paratore’s incredible golf came at a soggy Close House course, hosted by Lee Westwood, in the first of a six-tournament “UK Swing”. This week, players high enough in the World Rankings can choose between the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational or the English Open. Next week, it will be a choice between staying put for the English Championship or heading to San Francisco for the first Major of 2020; the PGA Championship. Things are about to get interesting!

Easy, fun & enjoyable golf

We’ve all felt the pain of lugging a heavy bag around the course. It’s not fun! Having an electric trolley out on the course makes life so much easier. From easing the weight on your shoulders to speeding up your round, it’s a huge bonus.

Motocaddy M-Series Electric Golf Trolley Range

But, whether you’re cramming it into your car boot or struggling to keep it upright when the wind blows, they can cause problems. That is, until Motocaddy’s genius M-Series range.

The amazingly compact fold-away designs are perfect for your car boot. Also, the EASILOCK bag system (in all models) and Downhill Control (in DHC models) prevents your trolley or bag from toppling over on any terrain.

Motocaddy trolleys are in popular demand at the moment so if you're interested in ordering one, come and visit us at Bracken Ghyll Golf Club. In the meantime, click on the button below to explore the full range and watch our video.

Time to update your wedges?

That moment when you pitch the ball close to the pin and stop it on a dime for a tap-in putt is like no other. It dramatically reduces your score whilst looking awesome. As with all shots, it requires both technique and confidence, not to mention wedges with sharp grooves.

A recent survey highlighted that a third of golfers carry wedges that are over five years old. We appreciate that everyone has a club or two in their bag that they love but grooves will gradually deteriorate over time.

If you are one of these golfers, it's worth coming to see us for a chat. We can get you testing some new wedges against your current ones to see if it's time for a change.

One wedge that we're particularly big fans of is Titleist's Vokey SM8. The brains behind these wedges have worked incredibly hard to ensure the grooves maintain their sharpness and spin for as long as possible, giving you the best chance around the greens.

Video of the Week

This European Tour challenge is pretty simple: pick your favourite club and play the entire hole with it. Close House was the venue ahead of last week's British Masters, but how did the players get on? There were certainly a few surprises!

We hope you enjoyed the newsletter. If you need anymore help or advice please pop into the pro shop and we'll be delighted to help.
