The off season is an ideal opportunity to take advantage of our indoor teaching facilities (pictured here) and have a swing review. Keeping your practice regular throughout the winter is essential and with some swing ideas to work on you are much more likely to brave the conditions.
The driving range currently remains open. We will keep an eye on the conditions and will send an email out as soon as it becomes too wet for ball collections. When this happens, the range will remain open for practice from the mats on a 'hit your own balls' basis.
Last week's Mini Trotter went ahead despite some poor weather conditions. The winner, with a score of 27 points, was John Body ahead of runner-up Mark Dewhurst who lost out on countback.

A number of ladies commented on the benefit to their game that their winter rain gloves had and one lady was marvelling about her new FJ winter boots! Items like this can be as valuable as your clubs themselves in the winter so come in store and see what we can do improve your game this winter.
