We hope you're well. The new golf season is only 6 weeks away, but until the last few days, it has felt like it could be months away. This cold spell has been with us since mid-December and there hasn't been any golf in Perthshire this year to date. All of a sudden there is a glimmer of light and fingers crossed, we can come out of lockdown in the coming weeks. In comparison to many other industries, golf is lucky in that we have been allowed to continue playing and will hopefully be one of the first sports to get fully back up and running. If you are interested in joining a new club this year, then we have great options at our partner courses of North Inch and Pitlochry. If you would like some information on these, then please email niall@noahsarkgolf.com. Enjoy the read. |
 | | Sunday | We had a terrible week of weather last week with some very heavy snowfall. This was the worst that we have seen in the last 10 years and resulted in us having to close the driving range on Sunday so that we could hand collect golf balls from the snow. This was a really laborious task, with the guys having to rake around in the snow to find the range balls and then pick them up one by one. |
 | | Tuesday | Roll on 48 hours and you would never know that there had been any snowfall. What is even more surprising is just how dry the driving range is. We had been expecting that it would be soaking wet and flooded, but thankfully it's not. Let's hope that some proper golf out on the course can be played this weekend. |

Berger's victorious eagle | Spieth's comeback continues Daniel Berger emerged victorious on Valentine's Day after a grandstand finish worthy of a champion. Having double-bogeyed the 18th hole to complete his third round, the young American had a change of fortunes come Sunday as his stunning eagle left him two shots clear of the rest of the field at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. However, the story of the week arguably came a few spots further down the leaderboard as Jordan Spieth competed down the stretch for the second consecutive week. It might not sound like a big story given the phenomenal start to Spieth's career, but the American has been battling with his game for a few years now in a stretch that saw him fall to 92nd in the World Rankings. Could this be the start of a resurgence for Spieth? The signs are certainly there! |
Distance Measuring Devices allowed on Tour In other news, distance-measuring devices (laser rangefinders) will be permitted at the men’s, women’s & seniors’ PGA Championships this year. Whilst this has caused some debate amongst golfers and experts alike, it’s a reminder of just how incredibly useful they can be out on the course, saving time and shots. If you're still pacing out your yardages from the 150-yard marker, maybe it's time to look at how these fantastic bits of technology could help your game? Send us a message below if you'd like to explore this further. |
