Glenmuir Autumn Winter Clothing Collection

Hello Golfers,

We hope you're well!

As always, this week's email is packed full of useful topics to help you get the most from your game. If you have any questions for the team or would like advice on anything, we're always happy to help! Just drop us an email.

Joey is here with his Journal and Wriggers is still entertaining us with his rules.

Enjoy the read.

Pro's news

So my Open qualfying quest had a boost last week. On Friday I played from our Orange Tees that aren't designed for anyone one group of members, just a course that is fun to play. It has a Par of 72 and I shot 59 with 9 birdies and 2 eagles. The weather was horrendous and a few greens were under water but I had Ringway Waterproofs on, my bucket hat and I had a blast.

I'm now 9 under par on my quest for 100 under.

If you have a social game lined up I think you should go for it and see what you can shoot. If you don't have more fun than normal you can have a FREE coffee!

Joey's Journal

The clocks went back on Sunday, meaning that it gets darker a lot earlier now. My advice for those who want to play 18 holes is to try and play as early as you can and always check the sunset times on the website before booking in the afternoon. Most importantly though, keep the golf going through the winter because that is your best chance of having a good season next year!

Saturday’s competition was abandoned due to terrible wet weather, but it has been rescheduled to the 12th and 14th of November as mentioned in a recent email. Luckily the rest of the competitions managed to go ahead without interruption! Here is a list of all of last week‘s competition winners:

Do you have a Demo club?

Recently we have got a new computer in the pro shop, which is great! But it has meant that we have lost records of those with demo clubs. If you have any demo clubs please let us know, or return them if you no longer need them. Thank you!

Shop Offers & Promotions:

We will soon be selling bamboo golf tees! Depending on customer feedback they might eventually replace the tees that we sell currently, so why not try the bamboo when we get them in? And, of course, let us know what you think!

We have some new Junior PING winter hats in store. It is very important to keep ourselves warm during a round of golf, especially juniors! So if you have a little one who plays golf and is hoping to carry on throughout the winter, come in and have a look at what we’ve got in stock. We are also very well stocked for men’s and women’s winter hats and snoods to fit all sizes and styles.

Winter Mitts, Gloves. Jumpers. Gilets and more are also in stock. So if you are in need of anything to help you through the winter golf season, why not come into the pro shop and have a look? These include new lightweight Galvin Green waterproofs – perfect for the rainy golf season ahead!

We can also now pre-order the 2021 FootJoy golf shoe range! It’s a great excuse to come into the pro shop, grab a coffee (so you won’t need to wear a mask), sit on our new comfy sofa and have a browse through the new FootJoy 2021 catalogue.

Lastly, we also have new 2nd-hand clubs in the bag, which will be either in the shop or outside depending on the weather. Pop in and take a look!

Wriggers' Rules

Accidentally striking your ball during a practice swing

This week's video looks at the ruling when accidentally striking your ball during a practice swing. You may recall a similar ruling discussed in last week's video, but there is one main difference which is important to know, so be sure to watch and take note!

We also have the answer to last week's quiz question, and another new one for you this week.

Enjoy!

Golf on Tour

It's not over yet!

The golfing season would have pretty much finished by this point if it were a ‘normal year’. The men’s game would have named its four Major champions, the women’s game its five big winners, and another cracking Ryder Cup enjoyed.

Sadly, this hasn’t been the case but the good – okay, great - news is that there are still two Majors left to play: an autumnal Masters Tournament from Augusta National and the U.S Women’s Open from Champions Golf Club.

We'll find out who'll be wearing the Green Jacket in just a couple of weeks, and the world’s best are certainly finding their A-games in preparation. Patrick Cantlay won the weekend’s Zozo Championship by one shot from Justin Thomas and Jon Rahm; Rory McIlroy made a record-breaking 29 birdies over the same four days, albeit he mixed them with 8 bogeys and 3 doubles; Hatton and Fitzpatrick are performing well both sides of the Atlantic; DJ is fresh off the back of his FedEx Cup triumph and Bryson is testing longer driver shafts as his looks to dominate Augusta.

We’d love to know who you think has the best chance of winning this year’s Masters. Also, are you excited to see how Augusta plays in November compared to its traditional April slot? Send us a message via the button here.

Just keep spinning

Picture the scene: It’s pouring with rain, you’re out on the course, wedge in hand, staring at the pin. Hopefully, you’re dressed for the occasion - wrapped up in your waterproofs and woolly hat - but is your wedge ready to perform in the wet?

Clothing for the cold

We can’t control the weather, but we can protect ourselves from it. Unfortunately, it is starting to get colder outside but that doesn’t mean golf has to be put on hold, though, does it? Enter Galvin Green's stunning collection for this winter, available at Ringway Golf Club.

When it comes to layering up in winter, there's no better brand than Galvin Green. Two of our favourite pieces are the Dwight sweater and the Denzel body-warmer, both of which boast the Swedish brand's revolutionary Insula technology.

This technology keeps you insulated, retaining your body heat during cold weather. The stretch fabric also allows you to swing the club without restriction. Of course, if you want to explore the full range, visit our website using the button below.
