Hello Everyone,
Welcome to another addition of our weekly clubnewsletter.
This week sees the start of BMW PGAChampionship at Wentworth and the officiallaunch of Golf Express by Golf England.
Underthe slogan of "All the game in half thetime" it hopes will be one of thesolutions to getting more people playing throughpromoting shorter rounds that golfers can fitinto busy lifestyles in which two hours is nowthe span for most leisure activities.
As we all know modern life is hectic and busy -often there is barely time to take a shortbreather from your routine let alone find thefour hours needed to play an 18-hole game ofgolf.
Golf is a great way to keep active and healthy.
Playing 9-holes will burn at least 450 caloriesbecause you will take more than five thousandsteps.
As a club we have signed up to this great newinitiative and hope to see plenty of peopletaking advantage of this, here are our golfexpress times we will be launching for ourBlenheim 9 Hole Course and the Front 9 of ourMain Course:
