Hello Golfers,

We hope you had an enjoyable Bank Holiday weekend.

After what has been a very testing time over the past 10 weeks for many people we are hopefully starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel.

The golf course has been very busy over the last two weeks since we have re-opened and we just want to thank everyone for their responsible behaviour and keeping your social distances when around the clubhouse areas and on the golf course. We have welcomed approximately 180 members each day since re-opening the doors which is fantastic. It’s great to see so many familiar faces and we cant wait to welcome more of you over the coming weeks.

Stay safe and enjoy the read.

Driving Range and Academy Update

The Driving Range is now back open again with new driving range balls due to arrive anytime. We have got 14 bays open and we are asking people to follow social distancing rules at all times and we are operating a one-in and one-out policy and a max of 50 balls during our busy times to allow more people to use the range. Baskets must be returned after use and sanitise the handle with the sprays provided to keep them clean, so people can practice in a safe environment.

With the range back open this also means the return of our hugely popular Golf Academy and the return of all our Teaching Professionals with the addition of Darren Webster Clarke, a European Tour Coach who over the years has worked with some of Europe’s top players. For more information about Darren’s background please click here.

For more information on our Academy please visit the website https://www.oultonhallgolfacademy.co.uk/ if your golf is needing a helping hand after the long layoff and the fairway and greens are looking way to small and the most visited place is the rough and trees.

Custom fitting is also back at Oulton from the 1st of June, anyone looking to improve your golf with your current equipment or in the market for a set of new irons, driver, wedges or even a putter please get in touch with the pro shop to discuss the best options to help you improve your golf.

Pro's news

Could this really happen?

Over the past couple of weeks, we've been lucky enough to watch Tiger, Rory and a select few others take to the course to raise money for charities.

But, it's got us thinking...

With the PGA Tour set to return next month and the European Tour the month after - both without fans for a while - will September's Ryder Cup match between Europe and USA go ahead?

If it does, it'll likely be without spectators but would that be the same spectacle? Think back to Paris in 2018 when the cameras panned around the first tee at the start of each match to thousands of fans in the grandstand. It was a sight to behold.

Let us know what you think by sending us a message here.

New glove, anyone?

As a sport, golf has been given the green light ahead of the vast majority of others.

So, when you do get back out on the course, there's a good chance those crumpled up gloves at the bottom of your bag will need replacing.

We have a great selection of gloves in-store that are still in their packaging, including FootJoy's brilliant range - the #1 glove in golf!

From all-weather gloves to the softest leather gloves around, get in touch with us below and we'll be happy to help you out.

Thoughts for the course

Home advantage is a phenomenon across most sports. In golf, playing a competition or match on a course you know like the back of your hand has obvious benefits. However, when playing a hole for the hundredth time, it’s easy to fall into the trap of playing it the same way you always have. But, what if there’s another way?

Risk and reward - take on the challenge?

This is where the question of risk and reward comes in.

Does the potential risk of bringing danger into play, be it trees or hazards, outweigh the potential reward?

Next time you’re standing on the tee, weigh up the potential risks and rewards of pulling out your driver. Don’t just think about avoiding doubles and trebles, consider the potential birdie or scoring 3-points. Likewise, if you struggle with a particular tee-shot, think about alternative ways to play that hole.

It’s an interesting thought and one that we’d encourage before you next play. Feel free to send us a message and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.

Confident in the challenge?

We’ve all stood on a tee box at some point and struggled to muster up the courage to take out the driver. But, when you do, the key is to commit to the shot at hand, rather than trying to guide the ball down the fairway - something a lot of golfers will be doing after a few months without playing.

Cobra Speedzone Drivers

When opting for the ‘risk’ strategy, you need to have confidence in both your ability to pull off the shot at hand and your weapon of choice. Weighing up the risk and reward in your head is a very different process when you know you’ve got the right tool for the job.

Luckily, there are a couple of options in Cobra's range that both offer something different. Speedzone is perfect for anyone who wants to fine-tune their performance, whilst Speedzone Xtreme is all about forgiveness. Head to our website to compare them and to watch our review video.

Video of the Week

The man in this video needs no introduction. Sit back, relax and get ready to take some notes as Rory McIlroy talks us through how to play the one-hop and stop chip shot. You know, the shot that every golfer wishes they could play! Enjoy.
