Most of you lovely readers would’ve seen at the top of the newsletter that you need to print and sign a form in order to continue receiving our weekly scribbling. I’m really sorry about this, it’s not our choice but the laws surrounding data protection have been tightened up. This means you need to consent in writing to our email newsletters and I know it’s a pain but we don’t want to see you go! Once you’ve filled in your details, you’ll no longer see the yellow banner. For anyone who is struggling with the process please come and talk to us as there’s always a solution.

Nick is a matter of weeks away from sitting his second year exams for the PGA foundation degree and he is currently studiously revising on a few days annual leave. We wish him every success with them.

Andy is still a busy boy with all the hats he wears, TPI fitness, Head assistant, GLCGA Head coach, retail supremo, top model (ha ha) and he will also finish March by taking some annual leave away with his family. He’s got some cute nephews and nieces to spoil!

Paul with his millions of hats will remain at the academy to welcome new academy staff member Luke Collins on the 1st April. Here’s his report of the week:

Mr. Titleist 'Richard Nelsey' paid me a visit on Wednesday to renew my Staff Pro Agreement with Titleist for another two years. I'm proud to be associated with Titleist, as they are always putting the player's performance before anything else which is exactly what I am trying to do for you.

We're lucky here at Bristol & Clifton to have four Trial Bags of different Titleist golf clubs for you to be able to take out and try on the golf course as this is where performance really matters to all you golfers and can show you how it can improve your scoring. Please come and see us in the shop if you would like to have a go!
