Golf is back

It has been great to see so many of you back at the club over the last week. Returning to golf has been a bit strange and has come with some challenges but I’m pleased to say that our new guidelines have been well received and more importantly are working, to ensure we all Play Safe and Stay Safe. We must make sure that we are all mindful of the new rules and guidelines as they will no doubt be in place for some time. However, the management team at East Herts Golf Club are looking at these on a daily basis and making any necessary adjustments as and when we can.

The Pro Shop is fully stocked with some great new clothing and hardware, as well as the wide range of accessories you would normally find. Thank you to everyone who has supported us in our first week back. Don’t forget if you want to order anything, including drinks and snacks, before you arrive for your round all you need to do is give us a call and we’ll have everything waiting for you to collect when you arrive.

I’m pleased to be able to tell you that as from Sunday Ashley will be back in the shop. We have been busy implementing new policies for individual lessons and club fittings. For more information please contact the Pro Shop.

Shop news

10% extra when you add money to your Pro Shop account!

Many of you have been asking us how you can buy things from the Pro Shop at the moment seeing as our door has to remain closed to customers. We have been offering a click & collect (or call & collect) service since returning last week. At the moment we can only take payment via debit or credit card but we are offering anyone who wants to add money to their Pro Shop account an extra top up of 10%... add £100 to your account and we’ll give you an extra £10 on top!

*This is not available to anyone who still has an outstanding account balance. Please note that we will no longer be offering credit accounts unless you have made a new agreement with me (Daniel Field). Please do not ask any of the other Pro Shop staff to add credit to an account for you, you must speak to me directly.

Enjoyment level = 100%

When you get the chance to venture back onto the course for a game of golf, we want you to get as much enjoyment out of it as possible whilst following social distancing guidelines.

It might not be for right now but something to consider for the future is Motocaddy’s range of stylish and compact (can easily fit in your boot alongside your clubs) electric trolleys.

They have some fantastic options at affordable prices, all of which will take the strain off your back and allow you to walk the course in comfort!

Thoughts for the course

When you’ve been playing golf for many years, it’s easy to set-up to the ball in a way that feels natural without too much thought. However, without a proper pre-shot routine, our ball position can easily move to a place that's doing more harm than good.

Keep an eye on things

As in last week’s article on alignment, the easiest way to check your ball position is by placing a club or stick on the floor as in the image above.

If you’re unsure about where the ball should be positioned within your stance with any club in your bag, send us a message or a photo and we’ll get back to you.

Pre-shot routine is key

This drill is perfect for when you’re practicing on the range but out on the course it all stems from your pre-shot routine. Not only does this help with your fundamentals such as ball position and alignment, but it’ll also help you if you’re feeling particularly nervous. Again, get in touch with us below if you’d like to discuss your pre-shot routine or anything else golf-related. We're here to help!

Enjoy every step

Managing to get back out on the course and play golf again is going to bring a lot of joy to people in the coming weeks and months. Walking four miles or more – on top of actually swinging a golf club – is quite a bit of exercise considering the recent situation, so make sure you’re set up for maximum comfort before you head out.

All of today’s golf shoes are made with comfort and performance at heart. If you’re wearing shoes that are a few years old, starting to wear or have a hard leather sole, we have plenty of affordable new shoes in the pro shop for when we're open.

One brand that is leading the way in this department is Skechers. We really like its new Max Fairway 2 shoe (pictured above), which excels in both comfort and style, and can be worn as your everyday trainer too.
