Change is coming
We have the go ahead now for changes to the Club Professionals Shop. Over the last few months I have been making plans and working with John Cummings on sourcing prices for work. This work should happen now over the coming weeks, with minimal disruption and the Shop still being open as normal. New slat wall will be fitted, a replacement counter which Matty destroyed, a lockable room, new carpets installed, and nice new front door. We will also be carrying out work to the juniors’ room, changing the celling, putting in nets, screen, launch monitor and simulator to allow club fitting and trials.
This will take a little time to get in to place, but this is what we are aiming for to improve the services for our members and visitors to the club. To make Longniddry Golf Club better. Exciting times ahead. |

Starting to take shape
You may have noticed the white lines on the fairways. This is there to mark out the fairways and put shape back into correctly. The rough won’t be grown knee high around this, just semi rough, but it will make the course look better and back as it originally was.
Please can we ask all golfers wearing metal spikes to take extreme care on the greens. Some person, I am sure innocently is dragging their feet on the greens making this damage. The spike is not the problem, its just the person is dragging their feet. If you witness this, please let us know.
Alternatively, we can change your spikes to soft spikes for £10.
Please rake bunkers with rake correctly, take time and leave as you would expect please.
Please repair pitch marks, there are far too many out there right now.
Keep trolleys away from greens and off tee boxes. Don’t take you trolley on the tee boxes.
Keep the buggies away from greens and banks.
Look after your course!!

| Urethane cover? So what... |
A common phrase we hear here in the shop is: “It’s round and white, it can’t be that different”. The truth is that every single golf ball is unique in some way – whether it’s the ball’s core, layers or dimple pattern – but there is one thing that all premium balls have in common… |
Try Urethane with the Z-Star and Z-Star XV
Like all tour-level golf balls, the Srixon Z-Star and Z-Star XV boast a Urethane cover, which sets the bar for cover materials. Urethane – a soft and flexible polymer – will give you the highest possible spin rates combined with the best feel; benefits you will really notice when hitting chip and pitch shots. However, if you like to play lower flighted chip-and-runs you might prefer other options in Srixon’s range that are made with Ionomer covers. While this type of cover doesn’t generate as much spin, it is slightly more durable and offers a cheaper alternative. |
|
 | As you can see on these 50-yard pitch shots, the extra spin from the Urethane cover ball on the right helps it to stop much quicker than the Ionomer cover ball on the left, which rolls out on landing. |
