Finally we have news that we will be able to open the doors to all our shop users on June 15th. Like you, I'm a little surprised it wasn't June 1st especially as we personally are easily able to control the flow through the store. I suppose we will have to be just a little bit more patient.

Remember, even though you can not come in, we can get out to you as we are offering our Click and collect service every day for anything golf.

Use the regular lines of communication, telephone, email or my website to place your orders just as many of you who have started to play have kindly already been doing. I'll have it bagged up and ready to take either out on the course or back to the car before play.

Also, I'm now back coaching a little, so should you wish to get some help with that rusty short game or never going away slice, get in touch and we can fix it together.

Likewise custom fitting of clubs has been given the go-ahead. Do not worry about  "catching" something from the fitting components from someone else. They are immediately sanitised after each fitting appointment given. I value my health too!

Over the previous weeks, there has been plenty of time to review the new golfing product and decide on what you feel will make a good update to your equipment.lets make sure it's designed to suit you and your game with the help of my GC2 launch monitor to ensure that you are spending your money wisely. Get in touch and book some fitting time, it is the best way to get it right.

Everyone seems to be getting used to our new controlled way of playing at Orsett. In fact so many are really enjoying the relaxed form, playing socially in around three hours without a card in their hand. It's amazing how many new golfing formats competitive or otherwise that have been invented, I'm hearing about from different sections of the Club. With the alterations to the booking system it should allow more people a chance to play, likewise, if you have missed golf that much and really want to play most days at the time of writing, this system might just allow you to fulfil the need. All you need do is call the office or pro shop between 4-5 pm for any spare slots for the following day's tee times. Also for those wanting to work on their swings, bookings are required for the practice area. A two-hour window will be offered in a safe environment once more.

Try to remember many of the rules of golf still apply, If someone feels they want to run round in 2 hours. And there is a gap in front, consider letting them through, that way they can get on and you can play without looking over your shoulder. Likewise, there is no point hustling people in front if they are keeping up with play. Sadly the bar is yet to get open!

It's great  to see you all again, keep safe and stay straight.
