Kenny Monaghan

Hello Golfers,

This week is, of course, The Open Championship, one of my personal favourite weeks of the year! This year's Open takes place in Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. Having never played or even visited Portrush before, I am very much looking forward to watching the extended coverage on the TV this week. Hopefully you have all cleared your diaries for the back end of this week and plan to enjoy the action like me!

We will be showing the extended coverage throughout the clubhouse for the full event. If you are looking to enjoying the action with some food and drinks then where better to go than your local club!

This week's newsletter is packed with information - grab a coffee and enjoy the read...

Dates for the diary

Following on from last weeks extended junior focus, we have a couple of key dates to remind you all about over the next couple of weeks.

Junior Fun Night

If you are a member of the club or a member of our Kids At The Castle programme, myself and Scott are holding a fun get together on Monday, 22 July. We have the first tee reserved from 4-6pm and we intend to get all children out on the main course and having fun together.

We will also be having a few fun challenges around the practice ground and we invite everyone to get involved, even the parents! Food will be included for the children and the event is completely FREE!

Free Coaching

We have some free coaching opportunities running through the holidays for our junior club members, the timings for the coaching are as follows:

- Tuesday, 16 July : 12:00pm – 2:00pm
- Tuesday, 23 July : 12:00pm – 2:00pm

- Tuesday, 6 August : 12:00pm - 1.30pm
- Tuesday, 13 August : 12:00pm - 1.30pm

These are a simple "roll up and play" policy where myself and Scott will provide free tuition and encouragement for the children.

Away Day

On Friday, 26 July, I am taking a group of juniors from Stirling Golf Club for a day away to Bothwell Castle. If you are a member of club and have some experience of playing the main course and a handicap then please get in touch.

More bang for your buck

Golf clothing has come a long way from the old-style knickerbockers worn in the early 1900s - you can hardly imagine popping to the supermarket in a pair of those today. Fortunately, these days, golf brands make clothing that is high performing on the course but looks good enough to set the trend off it too.

FootJoy SS19 apparel

Take this polo from FootJoy. The attention is certainly in the detail with the foulard print trim on the button placket offering a classy addition to an already smart-looking polo. Even technology comes to the fore as the top's moisture-wicking properties make sure that, when it comes to the course, you are primed for performance.

This polo is a worthy addition to any golfing wardrobe, so come in and take a closer look at FJ's range next time you're down the club.

The battle of the trolleys

Yes, it’s time for another battle as we pit Motocaddy’s S1 and M1 electric trolleys against one another to see which one has your requirements covered for both on-course performance and off-course practicality. So, dust off the gloves, sound the bell and let the battle commence...

Motocaddy S1 electric trolley

In the red corner we have the simply stunning S1 electric trolley, which has been updated for 2019.

Everything is at your finger tips thanks to a brand-new high-resolution LCD screen and easy-to-use Quickfold mechanism for easy storage, all of which is wrapped up in this highly attractive design.

Perfect for: Golfers looking for an entry level electric trolley that packs a punch in the features department.

Motocaddy M1 electric trolley

In the blue corner we have the M1 electric trolley, which is yet another brilliant option.

The car-boot friendly profile means this is the perfect trolley for those of you looking to save space, whilst a powerful 230w motor makes this the ideal high-performing electric trolley.

Perfect for: Golfers looking to save space with an easy-to-use, powerful electric trolley that has you well covered on any terrain.

Spotlight | PING Blueprint irons

Now this is a beauty.

When Tour players put a new product into play immediately, you know it's something special.

Well, that's exactly what Louis Oosthuizen and Tony Finau did earlier this year with these phenomenal Blueprint irons from PING.

Fully forged for tremendous feel, tungsten toe screw for added forgiveness, and a compact profile for increased confidence. A dream combination.
