Greetings from an extremely windswept Berkshire,

I would like to let you know that I have a new member of staff in the pro shop. His name is Alex Caldicott, a 23 year old professional golfer from St Annes Old Links.

Alex has considerable experience having also worked for a time at Royal Troon but is very much looking forward to enjoying some heathland golf at its best. I am very happy to report that the courses are now dry and playing really well.

We have had such a fantastic and positive response to the new newsletter and website which we launched last week. We are pleased that so many of you have either spoken to me and the team in the shop or sent me an email. That really is the aim of this weekly communication, to inform and to encourage more golfers to talk to us about their game and how they would like to improve. Have you set your aims for the year? If so let us help you achieve them and make 2015 a fantastic golfing year. Click here and tell us what you'd like to achieve be it more consistency, lowering your handicap or just to beat your golfing partner.

For those of you that might have missed our email last week, I'd like to tell you a little more about my new email and website. We have spent a lot of time putting together this website. You will find videos on the latest golf equipment, instructional tips and videos, contact forms to keep in touch and information on the promotions that we have running in the shop. But we also want to feature you! So if you have any news be it a hole in one, birth of a son or granddaughter, a testimonial on how great your new driver or electric trolley is we want to know and we will be delighted to feature you in our site.
