Good day members and friends of CMGC, I hope you all liked our additional newsletter that hit your inboxes on Tuesday! Unfortunately Titleist are not releasing a humming golf ball, the greens won't be cut by pedal power and the third on Badgers Sett will not have the green relocated in the field! I hope they all gave you a laugh on April Fool's Day!

It has been a great week for golf with the course continuing to improve, with the clocks now changed summer is coming! A big shout out to Andy Johnson and his handicap team as they made a winning start to their season beating Churchill and Blakedown 3.5 - 2.5. A big congratulations to Neil Bryden, Nick Webb and Brain L Payne who were the top three in the March Stableford. This means the top three will join Phil Moore in a Worcestershire pro-am to take place later in the year. 

Membership Drive Huge Success

Just a quick message to thank everyone for their support on the £120 3 month membership drive. We ended up with 32 new members off the back of this, hopefully everyone will get into the CMGC club life and sign on for the full year in July. It would be awesome if all the existing Cleobury members make the new ones welcome.

He still has 3 places left on the intro deal, for £20 you get a 45 minutes lesson and FREE Titleist golf balls.

We are also delighted to confirm the start of the junior academies. Phil has two dates for the second week in the Easter holidays.

TaylorMade

The TaylorMade demos have been flying out this past week. The SLDR and Jet Speed perform amazing well and at just £199 the Jet Speed is a real bargain. A quick shout out to Dave Smith who picked up a set of irons on the Friday. On the Saturday he won a competition with his mates picking up £22…They are already paying for themselves! If you would like to demo any of these please contact us or pop into the golf centre.

Stuburt Shoes.

The Stuburt shoes have been flying out, every other week I write about them but we have already had to re order the Urban 2, three times! At just £40 the Urban 2 are the perfect summer shoes, or for £50 you get the Sport Lite for comfort. Plus to sweeten the deal you also get three pairs of socks totally FREE! We have ordered more and have all sizes in stock and for £40 or £50 they are perfect going into the summer!

Lodge Development Update.

The phone is red hot with calls about the lodge development, last week we sent out 20 brochures to people enquiring about them. The new website is now up and running www.cleoburycountrylodges.com and we hope to sell the next plot very shortly.
