Hello Golfers,
Pro's news

I do hope you and your family are keeping well, busy, and active!

In last week’s newsletter, I mentioned how much of a pleasure it is for TJ, Luke and I to work here at such a fantastic members golf club and I am sure I speak for other members of staff too when I say that.

The communication and support we are receiving during this time reinforces these sentiments.

Many thanks to those who have taken us up on our offer of the account boost. 

Just to remind everyone we are offering an account top-up boost of 10% for any payment made on their account during the lockdown period. For example, a £100 payment will receive an extra £10.

Just before or during this period of course closure you may have been thinking of some new item of equipment or clothing such as clubs, trolley or even shoes.

Trackman Studio
TrackMan Studio

Our recent investment in the TrackMan Studio shows the level of commitment we have made to look after all your golfing needs. Using TrackMan technology gives you access to the same resources as nearly all the top 100 players in the world, the best coaches in the world and all the leading companies in the world. 

In addition to ensuring our fitting and lesson service, we also aim to supply products that are competitively priced to compare to any other market outlet whilst at the same time supplied exactly to your own individual specifications. We constantly check any market price changes.

If you would like to take advantage of our Account boost Offer or would like to discuss any equipment you are considering please mail me with your details and I will be in touch mark.rogers@foremostgolf.com.

Here is a great example of how the account boost could work for you.

Anyone looking at electric trolleys may be considering the Motocaddy M1 compact trolley. We have a limited stock of the 2019 model (Lithium battery option) which we have on offer at the amazing price of £399 which also comes with £50 of FREE accessories. This is an amazing offer on a great trolley that sold at £549 without the accessories.

If you make an account boost payment for £363 you will receive a £36.30 boost and thus buy the trolley for only £363!

Course news

Course update

Whilst the weather has been wonderful during these past few days it is hard to believe it is still only April. Ironically after such a wet winter, it has not rained since the lockdown and the irrigation system is needed!

Right now the gorse is flowering and the rhododendrons will soon be out too and we are all hoping we get to see these wonderful colours soon. Here are some pictures taken from on top of the wall a few days ago.

As you can see the course is looking great and will be there ready for you to return to so please stay safe and we look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Golf's rivalries pt2
 

Golf's greatest rivalries - Woods vs Mickelson

For those that go on stats, this barely constitutes a rivalry. However, when you consider they achieved their feats over the same period, then what both men have managed is mightily impressive.

Tiger was the face of the game for almost two decades. He’s won 15 majors, racked up 109 worldwide professional victories, and even had the main golf video game named after him for several years. In that same time, Phil played second fiddle. A role that saw ‘lefty’ accumulate five major titles, 51 worldwide professional wins and represent the USA in 12 consecutive Ryder Cups. Sadly for Mickelson, he never reached the summit of the World Golf Rankings, albeit spending 26 consecutive years inside the Top 50.

It’s scary to think what more either man could have achieved without the other standing in their way. Let us know which rivalry stands out for you the most and why by getting in touch here.

 
 
 
It's quiz time

In theory, this week's quiz is one that we should ALL do well on, so we've thrown a few curveballs in there to really test you!

Fancy yourself as a Rules know-it-all?
Are you the go-to Rules person in your roll-up?

Put your knowledge to the test and see how you get on this week. You may have found yourself in a few of these scenarios before - the question is: did you do the right thing?

Good luck!

Weekly challenge

We want to get as many The York Golf Club golfers attempting this week’s challenge as possible! It’s a pretty straightforward one so give it a go and let us know how you get on. Who will be the champion?

Keepy Ups - How many can you do?

What to do

Grab your wedge and a golf ball. Head to the garden or give yourself some space inside the house. Now, try to do as many keepy-ups as possible without the ball touching the ground.

Sounds easy, right? 

Get adventurous

If you’re a bit of a show-off, try hitting the ball off your thigh or stopping the ball on your clubface before starting again. You can do this with tennis balls too, or even toilet rolls (apparently).

We want your videos sent in!

Golf at home

If any of you are missing golf as much as we are, you’ll be straight onto the course as soon as it’s safe to do so. Well, until that time comes, here’s a little drill for you to try that’ll keep those competitive juices flowing.

Putting drill - try this at home!

The set-up

We’ve used a mug as our makeshift hole, but feel free to use whatever you have lying about the house!

Set your balls down in a straight line from the hole, at one-foot intervals from each other. Starting with the closest, hole each putt without missing. If you miss, go back to the start and try again!

Too easy?

The simplest way to make this drill harder is to increase the distance between each of the balls in your line.

If you’re simply too good and are putting like Tiger, you could try finding a sloping putt or make the target (your makeshift hole) smaller.
