Its a load of Balls

Sunday, April 18, 2010

There is much to be said for playing golf in the 21stCentury as golf balls have been developed beyond recognition since their introduction and have come a long way to make the game a bit easier.
The history bit….
The first balls specifically made for golf were made of wood,its doesn’t bear thinking about how painful that might have been with the jarring
pain shooting right up your arm.
In 1618 the feather golf ball which was cow or horse hide stuffed with goose feather was introduced with the original name ” featherie”
To this day the characteristics of this golf ball have made it the standard golf ball for more than two hundred years.
The practice of hammering the ball to give it an evenly dimpled shape helped give the ball to have a more consistent flight ,came about after the “gutte” ball made from dried sap of a Sapodilla Tree was invented as the defects made onto this ball once hit by the club actually assisted its flight.

Beware Fake Golf Vouchers

Tuesday, March 31, 2009

As many of you will be aware, our service includes Steven accompanying our golf parties when they arrive at the golf courses, liaising with the caddy master and making sure everything is organised before the golfers get to the golf course.
While they are there he meets many different golfers from all over the world and promotes our services at Clydegrove Golf Spain .
Recently he came across 14 lads from Manchester at La Finca golf course and got chatting to them as they were awaiting a tee time. They told him a very distressing story of how they had made three golf course reservations through an internet golf website and were advised they would receive their golf course vouchers once they had paid online.
As time drew near to their departure date from the UK they chased the vouchers up with no joy.
As they were making no progress they then took the next step to inform their online payment system company and raised a dispute as they had paid in full for the booking in advance.
