It’s the start of a brand new year, but we start our newsletter taking a look back at Luke Donald’s incredible 2011 and share some of his amazing stats with you.

The start of a new year often means new products as golf’s leading equipment manufacturers launch their latest wares and we have a run down of many of this year’s most exciting product launches.

With it being January we naturally have our New Year Sale on in the Pro Shop at the moment with a number of bargains available – we have listed the top five below, but why not pop in at any time and have a look around?

If you have anything you would like to discuss about your game, whether it’s equipment, your swing or even rules, please do not hesitate to come in and talk to us.

As part of our continuing Course improvement, this week we have carried out some extensive tree transplanting using trees from our nursery to further enhance the 8th and 3rd holes.This is also necessary to replace the ageing poplars between these two holes.

The continuing mild weather is helping to bed the turfs in on the new bunker arrangements and we hope to have all the recently refurbished bunkers back in play in early spring.

One request.

We would ask all members and visiting golfers to adhere to GUR notices, lines and roped off areas to enable the repairs to establish. There has been evidence in the last few weeks of people taking their trolleys over some of these areas and even playing off them!!

We are continuing to work on Fusarium attack on the greens. We have stopped the disease spreading and now promoting, through feeding, getting the grass to grow.

So far the winter has been kind to us, lets hope it continues and that we can all look forward to a golf course in top condition come the spring.

With the continued superb winter playing conditions things have remained busy for the time of year. Our sale is now in full swing with many great bargains to be had. Some of our 2012 new arrivals are starting to be delivered and we will have most of our new stock in store by mid March. As always if there is anything that we can do for you please don’t hesitate to come and see us.
