Welcome to this week's newsletter, our final scheduled update from the club for 2016. Our regular newsletter will return week commencing Monday, 2 January - but there's still plenty going on during the festive period.
Looking back at the year, it's been a wonderful season with some memorable moments, none more thrilling than Danny Willett's shock Masters victory - the Sheffield man becoming the first Briton to triumph at Augusta in 20 years. Will that be enough for Danny to claim the 2016 BBC Sports Personality of the Year award on Sunday, 18 December?
Then there was Justin Rose's Olympic Gold. There's no better ambassador for the game than Justin, his performance in Rio and the manner in which he embraced golf's return to the Games was first-class.
And despite Team USA wrestling back the Ryder Cup, that too was some spectacle. Over to you Mr Thomas Bjorn to orchestrate revenge in France.
We'd like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to all our readers and for your interaction and feedback over the course of the year. We take a lot of pleasure bringing you the latest club and equipment news and helping you enjoy better golf.
Here's hoping you shoot some good scores over Christmas - but if you're struggling, you know where to find us. Click here to get in touch.
We'll be seeing more of you over the next few weeks. However, for those of you who won't be around, a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Are you considering buying a new Motocaddy electric trolley?
