Private Toptracer Bays Just to recap for those of you who haven’t yet come up to hit some balls, our new protocols include a registration point on arrival, a one-way system operating through the range, only one person per bay, contactless card payment (preferred) or Privilege Cards, strict 2m social distancing markers, hand sanitiser available for customers, and a new cleaning regime. For your extra peace of mind, we have three private bays that you can book by the hour here. Bay no.3 is the most spacious and will comfortably take a group of up to four people – all socially distanced of course. The Little Kitchen Bistro is currently closed following government guidelines, but we will keep you updated of any changes. The toilets also remain closed for now. |

It starts with a UK Swing Since our last e-news, Rory McIlroy – the number one ranked golfer in the world – has said he “had a hunch” that September’s Ryder Cup will be postponed. Whilst no decision has been made, the European Tour has confirmed it'll be returning 'behind closed doors' in July. The first event will be the British Masters at Close House; the first of six consecutive tournaments on British soil. Who knows, maybe by the time the second UK Swing comes around in October – Dunhill Links, Scottish Open and BMW PGA Championship – things may look a little different?

Golf's greatest comebacks Everyone loves a comeback. Europe's remarkable victory in last year's Solheim Cup immediately springs to mind. But, as much as we love watching it happen at the time, can you remember the details? Our monthly quiz for June will test your knowledge in this department. If anything, it's a great excuse to relive some of golf's most memorable moments. Good luck!
