Hole in 1 process We've had several golfers achieve a hole in 1 at RGC in recent times, do you know the process if you're lucky enough to have one? Firstly, in the changing rooms, both men’s and ladies, by the computer, you will see some hole in one slips. Fill the slip in and hand to the bar, the hole in one will be then recorded in our hole in one book which is kept in the bar. Then, should you wish to do so, you can put a bottle of your choice on the bar for everybody to share a drink with you. This bottle should then be replaced by you as soon possible in the following few days. |
Callaway Fitting Day Thursday 27th June - 11am - 3pm A representative from Callaway will be on hand to take you through the very latest Callaway equipment. There will be drivers, fairways, hybrids, irons and wedges in both men's and ladies.

Nice guys finish last – so do bad ones Matt Kuchar’s ‘nice guy’ reputation took another hit at the Memorial Tournament after attempting to claim a free drop when his ball came to rest in an existing pitch mark on the 17th fairway. The Rules of Golf state that a player is allowed to move their ball out of a pitch mark without penalty IF it came from their ball. However, Kuchar was attempting to claim that his ball ‘broke new ground’ when it came to rest thus becoming his own pitch mark, but the rules officials were having none of it. After being accused of short-changing a caddie back in February and his Sergio Garcia match-play controversy in Austin, it is safe to say Kuchar’s popularity has plummeted with this latest headline making incident yet again. This time it clearly affected Kuchar as a 73 and 74 resulted in the American failing to make the cut. |
| Time for a little reflection |
Who doesn’t love the month of June? Long evenings, blistering sunshine (might be a little optimistic here) and plenty of opportunities to hit the course. With much of the season left to go and more competitions on the horizon, it’s time to take note of how you’ve been playing so far this year. |
Scenario 1 Hopefully, you've been playing regularly to your handicap or, better still, shooting under it. If that’s the case then happy days, keep up the good work! But we all know there’s room for improvement. Perhaps you don’t use a particular club as often as you could simply out of a lack of confidence with it? Or maybe you’re struggling with a destructive shot that is impacting your scores?
|
Scenario 2 On the other hand, you might be struggling to put a good score together no matter what you try. Some of you may be recalling a lesson you had from several years back or searching the web for a quick-fix only to be suffering further? Whether you’re in need of lessons, new equipment or a confidence boost, make sure you utilise our professional advice and skill set by speaking to a member of the team in-store. |
