A Historic Weekend at Eaton

I'm very pleased and excited, that, on Saturday afternoon, our first ever female junior Captain, Ffion Jones will be driving in. Ffion only started playing golf in September 2016 when she came along to our first Girls Golf Rocks taster session. She loved it and, like many of us before has become hooked on the game.

She joined the club and has been ever present in the girl’s lessons on Saturday's and junior group lessons on Sunday's. Her talent was never in doubt from very early on, but her enthusiasm and love of the game has meant that after just 15 months of playing she is down to 19.1 handicap.

You, as members of Eaton should be very proud of Ffion too because a recent article by England Golf means we are now being recognised as a progressive, forward thinking club by the national body.

If you're free on Saturday afternoon why not come along to cheer Ffion off?

Trade-Ins

For the second time recently I had a member say to me "you don't take trade-ins do you?" Absolutely we do! We use a trade guide to value your old clubs much like a motor trader uses a Glass' Guide.

Obviously you are free to sell them yourself, say on eBay, but, as the saying goes, how much do you value your time? We always match or better the Internet for all prices of your new equipment, whatever it is, so why go anywhere else.

MOT time for your Clubs?

We're very busy at the moment re-gripping clubs ready for the season ahead. Now is the perfect time to get us to check your clubs.

I recently had a category 1 golfer bring his 4 iron in for a new grip and when he handed me the club I informed him that the head was loose! He'd just been hitting balls on the range with it! He could have easily lost the head if it had flown off on the course, or worse still it could have seriously hurt someone. Get your clubs checked now free of charge.
