Latest Results from Champagne Wednesday 2nd January 2019

Paul Goldsmith made it 2 wins in the last 3 with the closest on the night of 9ft 10 inches! Well done Paul.

Andy Ward's mark of 7 inches in week 6 still remains the distance to beat. Remember whoever has the Closest distance on 27th March 2019 will receive an extra prize.

The Privilege Card Lottery was also drawn last Wednesday evening at 8pm. John Daniel was drawn but was not present. Therefore, the weekly £25 cash prize rolls-over into the next draw making the pot now worth £300!

Winter health check

A new year always brings with it a sense of renewed motivation when it comes to improving your golf game – and 2019 isn’t any different. So, before you head to the course next, go into the garage and give your equipment the once-over to make sure all is in order for the year ahead.

What will you find inside yours?

Is it half-broken tees and scuffed golf balls galore in there? Perhaps your glove is so tattered you don’t know which holes are for your fingers?

What about your grips: have they worn away so badly that you have a better chance at holding on to the shaft? Or maybe the leather upper on your shoes is beginning to crack?

Whatever it is, come and speak to us – we can fix you up with the best the golf industry has to offer, from tees to shoes to any accessory you can think of.

We hope you enjoyed the newsletter and have a great weekend. Gary and Emma.
