With regards to the Shop, I will be keeping the shop open but employing the following guidelines:

All surfaces will be regularly cleaned down with antibacterial wipes.
- Door handles
- Fridge handles
- Counter Tops
- Display areas
All Staff will regularly wash their hands.
Disposable gloves are available for members wishing to use them.
Space will be given to customers in the shop.
Contactless payment available or bank transfers.
The Swing Studio will remain open, but we recommend only one person uses it at a time. After each use, the studio will be fully cleaned down.

On a personal note, I would just like to thank all the members for their support, kind comments and cards regarding the loss of my father.

I hope you all stay well and keep enjoying your Golf!

Regards,
Simon

Matsuyama's record round

Hideki Matsuyama shot an incredible 63 at last week’s Players Championship to equal the course record only to see the tournament cancelled due to the Coronavirus the very next day. It looks like the right decision though and now The Masters have followed suit in postponing until a later date.

But the big question is when will it be rescheduled for? In a Ryder Cup year, there is little room left for manoeuvre, so will something be shunted out later in the year to make way? Only time will tell.

Wouldn't it be nice?

If you’re considering a new driver, it’s usually because you’re either missing too many fairways or your current one isn’t going as far as you’d like. You’re certainly not alone if you fit into this bracket, so why not join many other golfers by coming down to Sickleholme Golf Club and booking in for a driver fitting with one of the team?

The perfect scenario

This illustration is ideal for the majority of us: a new driver that goes further and with a tighter dispersion than our current one.

However, with so many options available, it’s often a tricky puzzle of which shaft, loft and head combination performs best in YOUR hands that needs solving.

Luckily, this is an area that we are professionally trained in! We have plenty of options in-store for you to try, including the awesome Callaway Mavrik driver that should be at the top of your list.

Call us on 01433 651306 to book in with the team.

Sociable sessions

Playing golf with your friends is one of the best things about this sport but, if you’re tired of playing long strokeplay rounds in your fourball, why not try some of the fun formats below the next time you find yourself going out in a four?

4BBB

This game is a lot of fun and sees both team members play their own ball, with the lowest score counting at each hole. In a fourball betterball match, players receive 90% of the difference from the player with the lowest handicap.

Greensomes

Both partners tee off on each hole. You then choose the best drive and play alternate shots for the rest of the hole. Your greensomes handicap should be 60% of the lower partner’s handicap added to 40% of the higher partner’s.

Gruesomes

This is a great way to find out who your true friends are as the format is the same as Greensomes only your opposition decide which drive you play from. Although don't blame us if you all end up falling out over it.

Video of the Week

One driver that has caught a lot of people's attention so far this year is TaylorMade's SIM model. We have SIM available for you to try in-store but, before you do, here's how it performed when put to the test. Enjoy.
