Welcome to another edition of our weekly e-newsletter giving you all the information within the walls of Verulam Golf Club, Hertfordshire's premier golf club.
Modernising Golf's Rules
Last week the R&A proposed some key changes to the Rules of Golf from 2019. Their Rules Modernisation initiative has been underway for a few years now and this is the next stage in that process. The aim is to not only make the Rules easier to understand, but also to address some of the game's current problems, such as speed of play, and ensure they fit the needs of today's game.
Please spare a couple of minutes to complete our survey, which gives you the chance to have your say on the proposed changes.
We've picked out some of the most significant Rules changes for you to digest in this survey, before giving you the chance to say whether you agree or disagree with each of them. It'll be great to know your thoughts.
Have your say here.

Callaway Chrome Soft TruVis Golf Balls
The Callaway Chrome Soft golf ball was one our most popular golf balls last year. They have now introduced the TruVis version allowing you to see the ball clearer. At £9.99 a sleeve or a dozen for £29.99 they provide superb value for money.
Trolley Leasing Offer
The popular trolley leasing promotion is back and will commence on Wednesday, 1 March. For £110 you will have unlimited use of our electric trollies. To guarantee the trolley you must pre-book with us.
I have purchased three new trollies to add to our fleet of 9. Offer runs from 1st March to approximately 31st November (weather dependent).
FREE 7 Iron Re-Grip Promotion
From playing golf with many amateurs over the years the one thing I notice is the quality of their grips. The state of the grip has a dramatic effect on their performance. Your hands are the only part of the body that have contact with the club so it is imperative to have control of the club. There are various textures and sizes to suit your individual preferences.
We are offering to re-grip your 7 iron for FREE . Simply drop your club into the shop where we will re-grip the club while you wait. There is no restriction on what grip and we can customise to your exact preference. Come in store and see our selection of grips.
Callaway Epic Driver
You have most probably heard the hype around the new Callaway Great Big Bertha Epic and Sub Zero drivers. They have performed exceptionally well in the studio, so much so I have now sold 13 drivers. I have just taken delivery of my Sub Zero driver which has gained me over 20 yards carry distance by lowering the amount of ball spin created.
If you would like a fitting why not book an appointment at our fitting day.
