Greetings from Stuart Wilson
Eastwood Golf Club - PGA Golf Professional

It`s time to sort the fuse box, 
It`s time to fix the lights, 
It`s time to hope the house lasts, another storm tonight!

It`s time to brick that hole up, 
It`s time to seal it tight, 
It`s time to pray these curtains, don`t fly off like a kite!

Oh no, it`s getting started, 
I`m scared and think I`ve far….got wind! 
This time I wish we`d rented! 
On this most sensational, 
UNBELIEVABLE, 
Wind that hits just like a cannonball, 
This hard is how all the Muppets BLOWWWWWwwww!!!

And to think we only got the tail end of Hurricane Gonzo!! I`m sure at full strength he really would`ve brought the house down! If your house was flattened by the storms of the last few days I believe you need to get a Building Kermit before you can start reconstructing your home again, but don`t quote me on that as my memory is a little Fozzy! WACKA WACKA WACKA!!

(Ok, I can hear you all groaning like the 2 old guys that sit on the balcony! No, not Dougie Mackay & Iain Grant!! I mean Statler & Waldorf!

All kidding aside, the great end of season weather that we were treated to in September is well and truly gone with the wind and frankly my dear, I DO give a damn!

The only good thing to come out of the gales that we had at the beginning of the week was Bill MacMillan who set a new land speed record in his single seater golf buggy on Monday! An eye witness report said he crossed the causeway at the 2nd like ET on a BMX bike, landed like the General Lee from the Dukes of hazard then sped off again like the Delorian from Back to The Future! If you still can't picture how fast he was going then maybe if I told you that he managed to play through Cammy MacIntyre on the 5th hole then you`ll realize he must`ve been going pretty fast!!

For those of you who haven`t had the pleasure to go out for a Lap with Cameron, it`s a bit like playing with Usian Bolt, riding a Polo Horse, selecting clubs like Robin Hood does arrows from his Quiver! He`s the only golfer I know who dips as he goes past the 18th flag so as to shave as many hundredths of a second off of his round time! Never mind Hurricane Gonzalo, he is our very own Speedy Gonzalez!! Andale, Andale, ARRIBA!

Speaking of fast finishes and Banditos, it brings me nicely to the last few Competitions of the Season!

The last Thursday Medal of 2014 also produced one of the rounds of the year by a Member I might start affectionately calling Speedy Georgehallez! In keeping with this week's theme, Thursday saw George Halley 74(14) - 60 take the Medal by storm! To win by a whopping 6 strokes from Fraser McKinlay 84(18) - 66, with Dougie Jamieson 85(18) - 67 in 3rd. George`s unbelievable round is even more unbelievable when you find out that he double bogeyed the last! 

    

Saturday`s Optional Medal saw the early signs of Hurricane Gonzo make conditions very tricky. However as usual there were a few who managed to carve out a good round in it.

In Division 1, Graham Murray 77(11) - 66 only played because he needed to get his 3rd card for handicap in! As a consequence though he never played in the Sweep and Magic 2`s and had two of them! Graham`s loss was Frank Taggart`s 71(3) - 68 gain though, as his score took 1st sweep and his solitary Magic 2 also claimed the whole pot!! That meant that everyone else moved up a notch too. That saw David Lyon 81(12) - 69 take 2nd and Gary Faulds 77(8) - 69 finish 3rd.

In Division 2 the higher handicappers struggled with the conditions more and it was David Flower 94(21) - 73 who claimed 1st. Barrie Smith 93(19) - 74 was 2nd and David Drummond 93(16) - 77 finished 3rd.

    
  

Perhaps the luckiest (or most sensible) winner of the weekend Doulas Miller! Douglas decided not to play but still popped up early to put his Numbers down for my Bonus Ball Draw. But the difference this week was it had accumulated into a 3 Week Roll Over worth - £132!!

Maybe Dougie will treat himself to some of goodies I will have in for the run into Christmas!

I know and I`m sorry! I can`t believe I`m having to mention Christmas either but it`s not going away, and perhaps more worryingly it`s only 9 weeks away!!

Here`s where I need your help! But in turn I will actually be helping you. Come closer and listen carefully!! No doubt as the "Golfer" in the family you will be showered with all sorts of golfing paraphernalia. Some suitable, some perhaps not! So if you have a Christmas Wish list, or if you don`t want to receive golfing guff that you`re stuck with then why not start dropping hints (or being a lot more in your face!) and encourage your loved ones to make me their first port of call! In Store we are going to have lots of great gift ideas and stocking fillers for the golf nut! But I appreciate some people have more specific purchases in mind.

Even if I don`t have it in store, unless it`s extremely last minute, I will be able to source it for you (2014 Product) Remember I also have the Online Shopping facility at Foremost Golf (Click Here) which also offers the "Click & Collect" Service so again you have all the convenience of letting us deal with the delivery and you collect at your convenience.

All products have a no quibble Returns Policy. So if it is something you really don`t like/want then we can find you something you do like without....shhh....anyone needing to know!!

Other reasons to choose us. 7 Day Opening, FREE and plentiful parking, a warm & friendly (crowd free) environment, Christmas Stockings, Gift Bags and definitely FREE Carrier Bags! Plus we offer Gift Vouchers that can be banked rather than kept and misplaced, and more importantly Lesson Vouchers from people who know you, your game and the Course YOU play on!

Over the next few weeks I will be showcasing all the great gift ideas we have. Whether it`s small stocking fillers or the ultimate main gift for a golfer we will have something to fit everyone`s needs and pocket!

Check out my latest video 'Winter Warmers'! 

Here is a little starter for 10!

Plus this comes with my "Powered Up Pledge" If you buy a motorized Trolley from me, not only will it be ready to roll on to the 1st Tee (Unpacked, Charged & Checked) but if anything does go wrong I will keep you rolling and mobile with one of my Powered Trollies while your issue is dealt with.

One Small: The Golfbuddy WT4 and PT4 GPS Units - FROM ONLY £179! Never be caught out with the wrong yardage again, whether it be with the lightweight & convenient WT4 Wristwatch or the more detailed touchscreen PT4 Handheld. Both come with over 30, 000 Courses pre-mapped & pre-loaded and no annual fees. Simply turn on and play!

   

Some more people with money to spend are all the Prize Winners at the Ladies section Presentation and AGM which took place on Tuesday night. Well done to all those who collected something on the night but the biggest congratulations goes to Christine McConnell.

In her year as Ladies Captain not only has Christine done a fantastic job of steering the Section through the year, but she has also raised a fantastic amount of money for her chosen Charity. Through the Ladies Open Day and many more fundraisers the Eastwood Girls managed to raise an amazing £1555 which will go to Ward 56 at the Southern General which is a specialty Ward for Stroke Victims.

Christine handed over the Captaincy reigns to her Vice Captain, Anna Hunter and we all wish Anna every success in her year in charge.

The gents Prize Giving Dinner is this Friday 24th October and there are still a few tickets available if you would still like to go. - Contact the bar (01355 500261) to book your ticket - £20.

Srixon AD333 golf balls

Some of you may be sceptical about using a yellow ball but with the fading light at this time of year causing us problems, they're certainly worth a try - and Srixon's AD333 in Tour Yellow offers superb visual performance...

They've been in the shop a while now and look just as appealing as when they first arrived. But, are they for you? Watch the video and speak to us if you're in the market for new bats. If not the G30, we can talk you through other sets in PING's range and help you with a fitting...
