Greetings from Jonnie,


Fitting news 

Callaway Fitting Day 15, August 1pm - 5pm

Whether it's the the XR driver or the Big Bertha irons we will have the full Callaway equipment range at Murrayfield GC on Saturday, 15 August. To book a slot with the fitting experts from Callaway please click here.

Putter Fitting Day - 22 August 11am-3pm 

We will be holding our own putter fitting day with brands including Odyssey, PING, TaylorMade and Wilson. 

The importance of a putter fitting 

We hold lots of fitting days for the leading manufacturers for all the clubs and we also have fitted many of our members for clubs, but putter fittings are still something new to people we've found. 

Remember we offer a FREE fitting with any new putter. We recognise the importance in having the right equipment. You need to trust it so that you can then put a good stroke on the putt.  


Virtually every Tour player is fitted individually to their putter, but almost no amateur players do that! The average height of a PGA Tour player today is 6' and he uses a 33.5 inch putter on average. You guys are using a 35 inch putter on average because that is the "standard" putter. A properly fit putter will allow you to set up with your hips over your ankles, your hands under your shoulders with a little bend in the elbows and your eyes over the ball. 

Please call up or click here to book your 30 minute fitting appointment.

As you probably have seen now, PING have announced two new irons for 2015. The GMax and new i series look stunning and we have ordered them into the shop. They have just been delivered so make sure you take a look at them the next time you are down the Club... They really are something else!

  

 

Course news 

The Pitching Area is open for use!!

No excuses now, go there and sharpen up your short game. If you need help with any part of the game, give us a call and we'll be happy to help! Please remember to take a pitch repair with you to keep the green in excellent condition. Please click here to view a video on this,

I am delighted to inform members that the newly constructed short game practice area has opened and is now ready for limited play. Some pictures of our progress:

  

    

A BIG thank you to Bill, Stevie and their team who have constructed the short game area! We've had great feedback from members already, we're passing all this onto the green staff team for their great work they've done. Below you'll find Bill's blog which shows the transition of the short game area through time.

To allow the seeded green and its surrounds time to fully mature it has been decided that this year the area will close in early November and re-open again next spring.

During the winter months we intend to implement further improvements in this area, details to follow.

I hope the members enjoy using the new facility just as much as we have enjoyed the constructing process and the growing in period. Well done and thanks to all..
