Visitors to Blackwood

This week we have had some kind guests from London, Toronto and Vancouver who used GolfNow to book with us. Here is a testimonial from one of our guests:

"Lovely course, great condition for this time of the year. The welcome and service from the pro shop staff was first class. Will happily come back next time I'm in Belfast."

SIDS

SIDS members play every Wednesday morning at 9:00am if you are a member who is looking to join for a game on a Wednesday morning, please make yourself known in the pro shop and we can introduce you to the group and get you out for a game. They enjoy their golf, but on a chilly morning they are happy when they see the shop staff arrive with coffee/tea on the 10th.

   

 

Greenkeeper's Update

Grass doesn't need cutting as much at this time of year, but your greenkeepers are very busy preparing your course for next season and completing jobs that they wouldn't get the chance to in the summer. The chipping area has been set up beside the putting green and drainage work carried out throughout the golf course. 

   

   

 

Does this sound like you?

How often do you drive to the course thinking about how your last game of golf went? You gather up all the negatives from your previous round - the lost balls, the three putts, the duffed bunker shot - which immediately puts you on the back foot before you've even teed off.

No matter how bad you've played in recent weeks, each round is different and there's no reason as to why your next won't see your handicap drop. Take Thorbjørn Olesen for example…

Having made just three of his last 12 cuts, the 26-year-old Dane produced some sublime golf en-route to winning the Turkish Airlines Open over the weekend. It's not the first time that Olesen has triumphed off the back of some horrid form; he also won the Alfred Dunhill Links last year following a run of 13 missed cuts in 18 events.

It just goes to show that the saying is true: form is temporary, class is permanent. If there's one lesson to be learnt from this then it's to start each round with renewed optimism and confidence that you're going to play well.

And if your golf is really that bad at the moment, then why haven't you booked yourself in for a lesson yet? Get in touch here if you want to play better golf.
