Hello Golfers,

How time flies, on the 9th January it will be the start of our 3rd year at the club and we are still enjoying every minute. A big thanks once again for all your support and laughs in the shop.

Happy New Year to all our members at Aberdour GC we hope you’ve enjoyed the festives and Santa was good to you and you’re now keen to get back into golf and looking forward to the 2019 season. Now is the time to get your game up to scratch and get a head start on the rest of the field. This is a great time of year to get lessons and work on your game before the start of the season. If you would like to book up please get in touch.

Tour news

Close, But Not Close Enough

It was a case of what might have been for Rory McIlroy, as his first event of 2019 ended with him in a tie for 4th place at the Sentry Tournament of Champions. McIlroy, who was in contention going into the final round, could only card a round of 72, eight shots behind eventual winner Xander Schauffele who shot a stunning course-record equalling 62.

The tournament featured 33 PGA Tour winners from the previous calendar year, so McIlroy can take heart that he beat the majority of a very strong field - however, he'll be hoping that his ability to produce a strong final round finally resurfaces by the time the first major of the year comes along.

Club event

Rules Night

Following the new rules coming in to play at the start of January the club will host a Rules Night in the clubhouse at 7pm on the 23rd January to give the members more information on the new rules that are now in play.

The rules presentation should take approx. 1 hour and afterwards there will be a rules quiz and Alan Matthew will provide a curry at a cost of £6.95 per person (booking advised).

Take a look at some of the new rules below:

Winter health check

A new year always brings with it a sense of renewed motivation when it comes to improving your golf game – and 2019 isn’t any different. So, before you head to the course next, go into the garage and give your equipment the once-over to make sure all is in order for the year ahead.

What will you find inside yours?

Is it half-broken tees and scuffed golf balls galore in there? Perhaps your glove is so tattered you don’t know which holes are for your fingers?

What about your grips: have they worn away so badly that you have a better chance at holding on to the shaft? Or maybe the leather upper on your shoes is beginning to crack?

Whatever it is, come and speak to us – we can fix you up with the best the golf industry has to offer, from tees to shoes to any accessory you can think of.

Golfin' in the rain

If last year’s “Beast from the East” taught us anything, it’s that you definitely need a golf-specific rain jacket when you’re playing golf in the early months of the season.

Indeed, you might be thinking twice about taking to the course when the forecast doesn't look great this month - and we don't blame you if you're as ill-prepared as the golfer in the photo above.

But we have the perfect solution in-store that'll keep you dry whilst playing golf in a downpour. ProQuip's Pro-Flex EVO jacket - shown in the second photo here - comes with Teflon coating and is made from an incredibly lightweight fabric, helping to keep you protected during the most brutal of conditions.

This isn't the only piece of stylish rainwear that we have in-store, so be sure to pop in for a browse next time you're at the club.

Spotlight: Wilson Staff D7 irons

Do you know which golf brand has more Major victories with its irons than any other? Considering we're looking at Wilson Staff's latest irons in this section, it shouldn't be too hard to work out!

The revolutionary D7 iron, which will land in-store this month, features RE-AKT technology; a combination of multiple advancements to offer greater ball speed, more forgiveness and better control for the club golfer.
