Hello Golfers,

Pro's news

Competitions coming up...

I've not managed to play much lately myself but I sure am looking forward to the Captain's unofficial away day at my favorite UK course, Cavendish in Buxton, on Friday. Much like Brocton, it's the perfect course to play Texas Scramble, where strategy and aiming away from the pin are sometimes the required tactic.

With 5 par 3's there's a good chance for the afternoons two's sweep as well, apart from the fact the short holes are devilishly tough.

Those of you playing the competition on Tuesday will have seen two changes in the Pro Shop. Adam Williams is our newest member of staff who started this week and joins us from Shrewsbury as he embarks on his golfing career.

Playing off 4 and aged 18, his goal is to join the PGA training academy and develop his coaching skills at Brocton Hall and he has a keen interest in equipment and an impressive knowledge of technology already. Please come and say hello the next time you're at the club, he's a got a great attitiude and very welcoming.

Best of luck Adam and it's nice to have you on board.

Shop news

Changes to the shop

The other change is that we've moved the counter area to the shop doorway ahead of Friday's guideline that you have to wear masks in shops. I got in touch with the environment agency for a clarification of the ruling as many members will be no more than 10 feet in the shop for less than a minute as they grab a card or a coffee or simply check-in.

We spend the bulk of our time acting as a reception rather than a retail shop but the advice was that if it looks like a standalone shop and it's not impractical to wear a mask, then the Government rule should be followed.

So, we've had the till software installed on a laptop, placed a desk in the doorway, arranged some items like balls and refreshments on the ramp and we're ready to grab your coffees and purchase items at the doorway for you. Of course, you're more than welcome to come into the shop but you'll need to wear a mask. I've also had 50 masks made with the Brocton Hall logo that you can buy but they won't be here for a week.

We've also created a two-way system on the ramp to the front door and introduced 2 metre social distancing markers. Should the front entrance get too busy, we've made a pathway straight through the shop to the back door and it's okay for you to go straight through the shop without a mask in order to exit that way if necessary. Anyone visiting the studio can register at the desk, then go straight to the back door and up the stairs.

Now that masks are worn we can allow 4 golfers at a time to be in the shop - just remember to sanitize before you touch anything and keep away from others, the shop layout helps promote this too.

Soon, every fashion store will have funky designed masks as must-have items for sale by the tills and it will simply be a case of remembering when you leave the house to take your keys, phone, wallet and mask.

We've got some really nice items of clothing in the shop from Oscar Jacobson, Stuburt and Island Green and you can take anything home with you to try on. If the weather's nice, we hope to display some items outside the shop for you to see.

Finally, hopefully, by the time you read this you'll all be celebrating The Baggies return to the Premier League!

Golf on Tour

Tiger returns!

Tiger Woods made his return to golf at The Memorial Tournament, playing at a Jack Nicklaus-designed course alongside Rory McIlroy and Brooks Koepka. That’s pretty cool!

Muirfield Village, better known as Jack’s Place, proved to be a brutal beast. 3-over was enough to make the cut and even-par enough for a share of 10th, with even the world’s best notching double and triple bogeys.

Jon Rahm became just the second Spaniard in history, behind Seve Ballesteros, to become World No.1 after a convincing victory in Ohio. Despite going +5 on Sunday’s back-nine, Rahm cruised to a three-stroke win.

Rahm’s final score of -9 will not jump off the page of PGA Tour winners, but numbers could never tell the story of just how much Jack’s Place demanded.

Our Price Match Promise

Did you know we price match competitors?

There's often a perception that small, local businesses are more expensive than your high street or online retailers, which couldn't be further from the truth in our case.

Not only do we offer you a fantastic and professional service, but we also offer a Price Match Promise against our main competitors. So, if you see a product cheaper elsewhere, pop by the shop and have a chat with a member of the team to see if we can match it.

Wear our crest with pride

One of the best things about being a member of a golf club is becoming part of a community. It means different things to each person, but what better way to show your support than with a piece of beautiful club-crested clothing from the pro shop?

Thanks to our friends at Glenmuir, you can pick up an item of stylish clothing with our club crest beautifully added. Whether you’re playing home or away, our crest serves as the perfect addition to your golf outfit.

Glenmuir has been creating golf clothing since 1891 and specialise in the art of cresting; so much so that the European Ryder Cup team used them for every event between 1987 and 2014. You can't get a bigger advocate than that!

Pop by the pro shop the next time you're at Brocton Hall Golf Club and we'll happily showcase our range of club crested product.

You simply cannot beat a hot summer day on the golf course. Of course, if you want to soak up the sun whilst strolling the fairways, you’ll need to feel comfortable underfoot.

Mizuno Wave Candence Spikeless Golf Shoes

We all want to look good on and off the golf course, but what use is style without comfort? The Mizuno Wave Cadence spikeless golf shoes are designed specifically with summer golf in mind.

Spikeless comfort on the course

You simply cannot beat a hot summer day on the golf course. Of course, if you want to soak up the sun whilst strolling the fairways, you’ll need to feel comfortable underfoot.

Skechers Drive 4 golf shoes

Comfort is arguably the most important factor to consider when buying new golf shoes - we are walking for over four miles after all!

The Skechers Drive 4 and Max Rover spikeless golf shoes are two of the best shoes that tick this box.

In addition to comfort, their spikeless outsoles offer fantastic grip whilst you're hitting shots and allow you to wear them away from the course too.

Video of the Week

We've gone back through the vault and found this fantastic video from The European Tour that dates back a few years. We all know how far technology has come in recent times, but can a robot beat one of the best golfers on the planet? Well, watch this week's video to find out!

Get out and get golfing!
