Good afternoon golfers!

Here is the first picture of the early development of the Oxley Park GC Development course which will consist of five par three holes ranging from 30 yards up to 80 yards.

This will enable us to introduce more beginner golfers to Oxley Park and for them to experience playing on a shorter course.

This facility will be a key part of our soon to be announced junior academy. Watch this space for details.

We really are proud of the work that is being done on this development course and really hope it inspires the new generation of golfers, whilst providing the perfect setting for existing players to hone their skills.

Congratulations to C Evans for winning the R A Whalley Cup at Oxley Park on Saturday, 25 April a great score of 42 points pipping L Hill by just one point who finished second with a better back nine to J Skellam. Yet again another well supported competition.

Are you showing signs of insanity?

Anyone that puts in the time on the range deserves their success come the weekend. However, it's not just hard work that gets that handicap down or grooves that soft draw you've been working on. To help explain, have you heard the saying,

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results?"

How true this can be.

Next time you head to the range ask yourself whether what you're doing in practice is actually helping; maybe you're exacerbating a problem, grooving a swing path that's working against you? We commend those of you who put the hours in away from the course, but for the best results you want that time to really count.

A quick refresher or game assessment with the team could really help, after which you'll get more from your practice sessions - which you can then take to the course.
