Greetings golfers,
The biggest competition of the year is nearly upon us and I am super excited. So much so, I have had to take extra hay fever tablets to slow myself down. The weather forecast is looking good, my spatula has been polished and my apron has been starched. Yes, Ladies & Gentleman, it's green for go. It's Pros Day...
So what do we have for you on the day?

We will also have a small electric BMW car buzzing about the course with lots of surprises for you. From this chariot of fun, I will be conducting on course interviews and beaming them straight to the internet. You can link up to this by following me on Twitter @gbellgolf. If you have no idea what twitter is, then ask your son, daughter, grandson or granddaughter.
You will see from the above link that we have the best prizes ever seen at East Kilbride Golf Club, and a day that is going to leave you fully satisfied. We will have a scoreboard in the main lounge and drink promotions running throughout the day. FREE crisps, yes FREE crisps on every table. This is what everyone wants to see, and I have pulled out all the stops for these crisps. Incredible scenes...
I would like to ask you all to read the rules and notice at which hole your handicap class has its long drive. I would ask you all to remember to put your burger boxes and empty bottles in the bins provided. If they are full then you can deposit at the shop. We want the course to remain nice and tidy.
Remember that we will be doing a no lose gamble at the 10th hole, so remember your cash as no I.O.U bets will be taken.
Custom Fitting Payback
I love custom fitting and I love helping people get better at golf. Last week we saw 2 players who were recently custom fitted finish 1st and 3rd out of the field. Both will remain nameless as I do not want to embarrass them, well not yet anyway. Both players were fitted to the new PING G Series Iron and this has definitely been our top selling iron of 2016. It is a pretty 'sexy' club which to be honest is not something that PING are not known for. But it also produces spectacular results for players.
I love fitting PING for a number of reasons and here are a few of these for you to read over:
- PING's build quality is fantastic
- They check every aspect of their clubs before they ship them to us.
- Each club they bring out has a 2 year market lifespan
- They hold their value over the years
- They produce wonderful results in testing
- The company is a family run business built around service and quality.

American Golf
This week I was let down by one of my suppliers and found myself having to go to American Golf to get an emergency purchase. Here's how I got on:
Yes, they held more stock than me, so could supply me with a number of the same garments. This was great. So it was convenient and helpful for me. However I found out something that wasn't so good. It wasn't service that was ok to a point. It was their terms and conditions. These term conditions in question were the returns conditions. These are:
They do not give you your money back if something isn't suitable.
This was not explained to me at the time of purchase.
It was on the receipt, but I only got that after I purchased the items. It no doubt was displayed somewhere in the shop, but I was just in and out. I thought this was absolutely shocking and reminded me of how the customer is so vulnerable when dealing with High Street Stores.
Again the shop helped me out of a spot, but I don't think any retailer has the right to not give you your money back if something isn't suitable.
Father's Day
Please remember that we can assist you with all your Father's Day Presents and we do allow you to get your money back if the presents are not suitable.....
Players not taking care of our new practice area turf
I am very sad to report that some of our members have pretty much decimated our first roped off area of turf on the practice area. I have worked so hard to make things better for all of us on the practice area, and I felt pretty much winded when I saw the state of it on Saturday.
I have tried very hard to educate players on how to practice properly so we can get the best out of the area. Someone last week decided to hit in as many different places within a 3 metre area rendering the rest of that turf useless. This person is spoiling all our hard work and devaluing our product.
I have included the same illustration for you all to refer to for better divot patterns when practicing. Please study this again, and if you see somebody abusing the area then please report this to me.
We really need to self police this area, so we can have better practice facilities. Please help me.
