The PRGC bobble hats and caps are selling fast and thank you so much for supporting Luke's new Pro Shop!!

The first wave of hats and caps are nearly sold out but new stock is coming soon!

  • additional blue, white and black caps have just arrived which are proving a real winner for the low sun in the winter and will be even more important in the summer months
  • we have a few left of the best selling navy bobble hats, with replacement stocks of black and navy and new stocks of light grey arriving between Christmas and the New Year

New Microfibre towels - perfect for a winter gift have just arrived in (Black and Navy) with new Velour towels (pink and green) arriving soon

Equally - if you are not planning on coming up to the club before Christmas - we can provide e-Vouchers for the items as Gifts for loved ones.  Nothing better than beating the horrible Xmas shopping queues.

Winter Buggy & Trolley Usage – Very Important

Message from Jack the Greenkeeper

The weather has changed and we must urgently take action to protect your fairways and course from avoidable damage.

  • Winter wheels should now be placed on trolleys.
  • It is forbidden to drive buggies on fairways
  • Do not play off of temporary greens

Buggy users will be asked to sign a pledge regarding appropriate usage before going out

New signage will appear on tees as a reminder

We are all in this together and it is easy to forget - so - if you see anyone driving a buggy or trolley (without winter wheels) on the fairway please politely remind them of the pledge or please phone the clubhouse

People failing to comply with the winter rules on buggies and trolleys will be politely asked by either the greenkeeping staff or the clubhouse to honour their pledge or return to the clubhouse - it is that important.

This is so important and thank you for your understanding

Jack
