After a nervy moment last week when our pro shop coffee machine broke, I'm pleased and shocked to be able to say that I have managed to fix the coffee machine, and she's now back to working as well as ever.

If you haven't yet done so, make sure you drop in and grab yourself a coffee before or after your round. At just £1.20 a pop it's certainly a great way to start your round.


 

Just what was needed 

We can't think of a more deserving winner than Justin Rose, golf's first Olympic champion since 1904 - a huge congratulations to him on winning gold after a thrilling final-round duel with Henrik Stenson.

Make no mistake, golf needed this positive outcome after several high-profile golfers decided not to compete in Rio.

"That felt better than anything I've ever won. It was the best tournament I've ever done," said Rose - a former US Open champion let's not forget.

"Hopefully we've shown Brazil what golf is about. I'm glad it was close. Not for my nerves. For golf."

Rose relished the opportunity to represent Great Britain, arriving in Brazil a week before the Olympics officially started to ensure he was part of the opening ceremony.

Anyone who follows the Englishman on Twitter will know what competing in the Olympics meant and how genuine he is about helping to grow the game.

With a global audience of approximately 4 billion, it's fair to say Rose, Stenson and the rest of the Olympic field put on a fantastic show, doing a superb job of showcasing everything that's good about the game.

Jordan Spieth has already tweeted his ambition to represent USA in Tokyo in four years, which tells us a lot. Roll on 2020! 


 

Those of you who have visited the club this week will hopefully have noticed out brand new signs around the place. There are a few more due to be put up over the next week or so, so make sure you keep your eyes peeled...

Dress Like Dustin For Cheaper 

That's right! If you envied Dustin Johnson's golf game at Oakmont, but also his wardrobe, during his maiden major victory, then now is the time to emulate his style and get some adidas gear. 

At the moment we have a great deal on all adidas clothing: Buy one get one half price , which by my calculations, is probably about the same deal Dustin gets when buying his adidas clothes.

Why not pop in this weekend and take a look at this cracking offer.

Note: Available on current stock items only, cheapest item half price.
