Greetings golfers, 

Welcome to another of edition of your pro shop newsletter, bringing you all the latest news from Cumberwell Park including an update on the 32nd hole and the arrival of the new Odyssey putter.

Enjoy the read. 

Orange course bunkers – Hole 32 - Re-establishment phase

Work is close to completion on the 32nd hole. The middle of the fairway has been transformed with 3 bunkers relocated on a diagonal line across the fairway.

One of the reasons for carrying out this work was the poor drainage situation in and around the bunkers. This has now been resolved. The second reason was to improve the strategy of the hole. This means that golfers have the option of laying up on the right hand side of the fairway or taking on the risk of carrying the bunkers with the reward of an easier approach shot to the green.

The weather is currently preventing us cultivating the soil and seeding the area but the hope is that this will be completed in the next 2 weeks. The area will be left to establish and realistically will not be back in play until spring 2018. The bunkers will not be filled with sand until the grass areas are ready for play.

During this time, play will return to the main tees and we ask that all tee shots are to be played short of the newly established area. This area will be marked as ground under repair (GUR) for this period so any shots landing on the area will require a free drop to be taken at the nearest point of relief (no closer to the hole).

Thank you for your patience whilst this area re-establishes.

New O-Works red putters in store!

After the enormous success in store and at retail, the Odyssey O-Works range of putters are now available in red and they look stunning! At the same price as the black version, £169.00, they look fantastic and really stand out!! Just as Henrik Stenson marked odyssey’s 50th win in 2017 with a No 7 putter, they are always hugely popular and the range continues to get better! Come in and have a look, we have four models in stock currently, but I’m sure these won’t last long.

Members ‘Adopt a Green’ scheme

The club has put in place a simple scheme to help reduce the amount of pitch marks left unrepaired on the greens which we are hoping will see a huge reduction of pitch marks on the putting surfaces.

Each member will be allocated a hole on each of the five nines and we ask that while on ‘your’ green we would be grateful if you could repair an extra 2/3 pitch marks, paying special attention to any par 3s you may be allotted. This alone would make such a difference to the surfaces all year round.

To see which greens you have been allocated simply follow the chart below to see where your surname falls.
