Dear Industry Colleague,
As many of our readers will know, my wife and I run a very busy golf course at Basildon, and also a high-tech range at Grimsby. After careful consideration, we decided to add an adventure putting course and the Jurassic Adventure at Grimsby Golf Centre will open in May. We think that this will complement our existing high-tech golf range and Footgolf course very well. We also, until very recently, had an American Golf store. American Golf decided to leave the golf range at Grimsby and so Marion and myself are fully involved in creating a new café and snack food area for all uses of the range and passers by.
Over the coming months, we will feature Grimsby as it is an ideal opportunity to show a hands-on case study of how to integrate a new feature of the business. Watch this space.
Congratulations, must go to Scottie Scheffler, who won the Players Championship last weekend for the second year in a row. This was also his second successive victory, following hard on the heels of the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He really is in splendid form, and with the addition of a new mallet putter, he will be a formidable competitor in the Masters, coming up just after Easter.
Sad to learn of the passing of Maurice Benbridge who died recently. He was a superb golfer and for many years held the course record at Augusta jointly. He will be sadly missed.
Best wishes,
Colin Jenkins
