The start of the season is just a matter of days away, the clocks have sprung forward and my car headlights no longer need to be used going to or from work. Golfers have been so excited, I have had to slip some valium into the Twix's this week. You all had to get up very, very early on Saturday to secure your Opening Day Competition time, but I'm sure that you have all been priming your PC's and practicing smashing your refresh buttons just before the Time sheet went live online. Those with super-fast broadband definitely have an advantage but that comes with a £5 extra charge from Sir Richard Branson! The first few medals are always rammed but we will always get you a time. If you have any problems then just drop me a line.

CUSTOMER BENEFITS

I know I harp on about service all the time but I do try my hardest to help every single customer of mine. With the start of the season upon us, I want to just outline a few things that I can offer you when you purchase things from me. Things that the internet can't and won't give you:

THE NEW APPRENTICE

The time has come for me to announce my New Apprentice!! Drum role please.

My new apprentice is 'Cameron Adam'

Cameron is 24 years old and before we signed him up, he held the position of Assistant PGA Professional at Rudding Park Golf Club in Harrogate. He is Scottish and used to play his amateur golf at Harburn Golf Club. Cameron is going to be a great addition to the pro shop team and to all of the members and visitors at Linlithgow Golf Club. He popped up to the club last week and thought that the course was great. He was also questioned by a few members on his footballing allegiance! Football is not his game he says and that doesn't mean he's a Rangers fan like me!

THE BIONIC GOLF GLOVE NOW IN STORE

Golf gloves have been golf gloves for many years. They are basically a shield protection for the hand to assist your grip when holding your golf club. Companies have experimented with different materials but they have never really looked into the intricate design of the human hand. This is why these gloves are different. The bionic glove is a benefit to all golfers especially those who have arthritis, injuries or strength issues. Watch my video to understand why.

WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU! 

When you buy ANYTHING from me: If you are not happy with the product or it becomes faulty, I will personally deal with it! No need for you to speak to the company, pay for postage, go to the post office to post it back or even wait in for it to get picked up. When something has to be sent back to an online company, they have 7-10 working days to deal with it, only if they find it faulty within their strict terms and conditions. During this time, you will have to do without the product but not if you purchased it from me as I will give you a temporary replacement in the meantime.
