Hello Golfers,

We hope you're well.

Not the news that we wanted to hear from the Scottish Government on Tuesday. It's looking like a bit longer than was hoped for to get thing opening up again, but there might be some more detailed information to come on the next update on 15th March.

We have pretty much all of our custom fitting equipment in stock and ready to go and are just awaiting the go-ahead.  We are hoping that one to one custom fitting appointments may be available to take place before non-essential retail full opens up and this would allow us to get all you eager golfers fitted up for your new clubs.

Pastures new

All the best Stewart

It's with great sadness that I advise you this evening that Stewart will be leaving us and heading to pastures new!

After four fantastic years with us here at Lundin, despite the last 12 months not being what we would have wished for, Stewart has secured himself a fantastic opportunity at Scotland's newest golf facility "Dumbarnie Golf Links".

Joining the team just along the road he will take up the role of Dumbarnie PGA Professional involved with not only retail but golf operations.

Whilst a sad time losing a key member of the facility I feel extremely proud, that like his predecessors, he moves to an incredible property with fantastic opportunities.

Let's put that down to good direction by his boss!

Some of you will still have outstanding coaching with Stewart, please keep an eye on your emails in the next few days as he will be in touch.

The plan moving forward will be for him to cover the tuition booked and schedule some of the future bookings, all happening extremely quickly he will be starting his new role in a little over a week, however, will be honouring all tuition over the next few months to suit both the golfer and his new rota.

I'm sure you'll all join me in wishing him all the very best and I'm confident he will have a great impact in his new role and be an asset to the resort as a forward-thinking and motivated professional.

Whilst furlough hasn't allowed his most recent spell to be as planned, I'm sure he'll back to visit and he'll be around over the next week or so to say his fond fair wells!

Some superb offers when we re open!

Offers

It's been a tough few months for many businesses around the country and it's no different here at Lundin, with no relaxing in the non-essential retail, with the end of April looking like the earliest we'll get back I'm preparing some great bargains for you all on some of the product we are currently stocking!

These offers are definitely worth looking at, with 2021 stock now delayed until nearer the official reopening in April. Keep your eyes peeled!

Gentle reminder!

Please help us

The dreaded subject of pitch marks has risen its head again this week! 

With an increased number of rounds, the better weather and the lighter days there has seen an increase in the complaints referencing pitch marks.

As you are all fully aware we are only allowing members at this time, please ensure you take the time to locate and repair your pitch marks.

I hear many golfers telling me they don't make pitch marks! I can confirm that the only way that's not possible is if you're carrying only a putter!

Please be courteous, we want the best course for us all.

Pitch
It's a must!
Registering for a general play score.

General play

It has been brought to my attention that one or two golfers are still a little unsure on what to do to submit a General Play score!

As the golf club is still closed with no access you the golfer are responsible to register your intent to play prior to commencing your round. This can be done via a smartphone or a PC in advance using The Scottish Golf app/Howdidido. However, please take note that you are unable to log in, register, drive to the club, play your round, go to Sainsbury’s, have a coffee with the wife and then input your score! This all must be done within an allocated time window!

Most importantly as listed above registering prior to your round is paramount, failure to do this in Ron terms is classed as cheating!

Should you be unsure just ask!

What mat!
Mat
Tut tut!

Mats are still in play on the fairways and the first cut until or scheduled Captain versus Vice which is/was meant to be March 20th.

Bad golfer!

It's only members as you aware, so there is no one to blame, unfortunately! Please assist us for a few weeks more. 

Just stuff!
Cake
Diet has started!

Thanks to everyone for the food parcels. As of today, cakes are now off-limits! Everything is rather techt! 

Baby
Smiler!

Jack popped in last Friday with his little 5-month-old daughter Pippa, he said to say hello! 

Dead birds

Caution required

You may have noticed a slightly heightened number of dead birds around the property recently, we have been advised that this is due to a variant of bird flu from migrating birds!

Should you see any lying on the course please let one of the green staff know, please do not touch them!

Top dresser in action

Wednesday saw our team out dressing the greens, having been sprayed Tuesday and some dry weather forecast it's an ideal opportunity.

Sand
Full squad on the job

Little to no disruption the full squad of three were on the job, one more job to tick of the checklist before the gaffer returns on Monday. 

Earlier tee times

Lighter mornings

You will notice there are now some earlier times each morning on the tee sheet and that the first time from Monday will now be 07.32 am, we appreciate the mornings are becoming lighter and to work in with the greens staff and their programmes bookings can now be made a little sharper. Tee times after 3 pm MUST still be booked in advance registering the players who will be playing for the track and trace system, the pro shop (starters box) will still close at 3 pm.

We will monitor this over the coming weeks to ensure these tee times are being utilised and that there is a demand for the early bird!! 

Competition news

Competitions postponed

With the announcements earlier this week, the decision has been made that all competitions scheduled over March and April will be postponed.
The match committee is working hard behind the scenes to ensure a full fixture list can be achieved when normality resumes.
General Play scores can still be submitted in the usual way.

All chips, no yips

How many hours have you spent hitting wedges in the back garden or around the house during the past 12 months? It can be fun, therapeutic and should help your game (if you’re doing it properly!). But you might be wondering why you’re not a short-game wizard after the last year or so. Perhaps, in this case, a worker can really blame their tools.

The start of the golfing season is fast approaching, so we want to make sure you're geared up to get off to a fast start. When it comes to your wedges, ensuring your grooves are still up to the task can get you closer to the flagstick, and they don’t come any better than Callaway's JAWS Mack Daddy 5 wedges.

The name ‘JAWS’ comes from the bite of these extremely sharp grooves, which give you spin like you’ve never had before. Adding to this, it's available in a raw finish that not only reduces glare but provides exceptional feel around the greens.

Putting perfect

You’ve managed to play the first hole of your next round perfectly tee-to-green. A lovely 10-footer for birdie awaits. What’s the last thing you want to do? Three-putt, right? Especially when it’s a three-putt bogey! So, let’s focus on how we can eradicate that from our game.

For starters, don’t overlook the role confidence plays when it comes to holing out, whether it’s a 30-foot lag putt or a must-make 3-footer.

Whether you managed to play any golf over the winter or have been keeping your skills sharp at home, can you honestly say that you're happy with your putting or is now the perfect time for a change?

If it’s the latter, look no further than Odyssey’s all-new White Hot OG range.

Their heralded White Hot insert has been a long-standing fan-favourite thanks to the incredible feel & consistent performance. Well, Odyssey has merged this tried-and-trusted putting formula with modern technologies for all-time great performance on the greens in 2021.
