Dear Member,
Hope you're ready for the weekend, which promises cold but beautiful weather for golf.
Below you can read some news from the club about, among other things, hiring a new restaurateur, opening of the restaurant in 18 days, new club app from GLFR, course update and much more.
New restaurateur – Flemming Endres
We are pleased to welcome Flemming Endres as a restaurateur as of March 15. You can read more about Flemming and his qualifications here: https://www.kgkgolf.dk/ny-restauratoer-ansat-flemming-endres/We are looking forward to Flemming starting in 12 days at KGK, when the new restaurant is about to be decorated…
…Opening of the restaurant
The restaurant renovation is in full swing. There have been some delays along the way, including parts of the ceiling, but it is now making serious progress. The permanent fixtures, walls, floors and permanent installations should be finished on Friday, March 10th. From Monday, March 13th, we will start decorating, installing lamps, etc., with the aim of opening the restaurant on Tuesday, March 21st. We will not be offering any food on Monday, March 20th (only drinks and snacks), as we will spend the day moving everything out of the lounge and getting the restaurant ready for opening the next day. Before the general meeting on April 2nd, we will hold an official opening of the new restaurant with some good food and drinks.
Restaurant gift card.
As something new for 2023, we have created a nice KGK membership card for purchases in the restaurant, where you pay 1,000 kr. (minimum amount) and get 1,100 kr. (+10%) to buy food and drinks for. You will be able to buy the card after the restaurant opens on March 21st and it can of course be topped up continuously with min. 1,000 kr. per time. We hope that our members will support this initiative so that some of the planned price increases for 2023 will hardly be noticeable.
General Assembly April 2nd
Remember to mark your calendar for Sunday, April 2nd at 2:00 PM, when the annual general meeting of KGK will be held. Come early and have a drink and a bite to eat in the new beautiful restaurant.
News from the pros
Klas and Oskar's group training and travel offer was very popular and received many registrations after the latest newsletter. However, they still have places available on the KGK Academy team, while it has been necessary to create an extra team for technique training in week 20 and an extra trip to Barsebäck in early August (the July trip quickly sold out). Our skilled trainers also have a specially designed training course for members between HCP 37-54! You can read more about ALL the above courses and trips and register for them here: https://www.kgkgolf.dk/professionals/#kurser.
Opening tournament April 1st and registration for the Weekly Tournament 2023
It is already possible to register for the Opening Tournament on April 1st, as well as for the Weekly Tournament which will be played every Tuesday afternoon from April 25th to September 5th.
The opening tournament: https://tourentry.golfbox.dk/?cid=3726344.
The weekly tournament: https://tourentry.golfbox.dk/?cid=3774247
GLFR club app on the way
For 2023, we will introduce the GLFR app as a new club app where you will be able to find information about the following:
- Track status from your home club
- News from your home club
- Overview of other clubs
- Course guide
- Scorecard for up to 4 people
- Direct upload of scores to DGU / GolfBox
- Option to show today's PIN location with GPS
And much more….
The app will be launched in early April as a communication platform, and you can download it now at this link: https://www.glfr.com/download/.
Opening hours office & shop:
March: 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM on weekdays and 8:00 AM-3:00 PM on weekends.
From April to October: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM Monday to Thursday, Fridays 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM and 7:30 AM – 3:00 PM on weekends
News in the shop:
New products are constantly arriving at the shop. You can already try the new Callaway Paradigm drivers that the Højgaard brothers use with great success on the DP World Tour. We have also received some Taylor Stealth 2 woods, and last but not least XXiO – the very popular and exclusive Japanese sub-brand for Srixon. XXiO stands out with very forgiving club heads and ultra-light shafts that give golfers with low swing speeds even more speed in the club and distance on their shots. Book a lesson with our pros on the simulator in the indoor room and get your equipment upgraded before the start of the season.
Course update
Our head greenkeeper, Martin Nilsson, has made a course update about the winter weather so far, the start of a new greenkeeper, etc., which can be read here: https://www.kgkgolf.dk/banen/#/banestatus
Simulator
The simulator in our indoor room is a great success. Many people book it and get to practice their golf game while learning about their strengths and weaknesses before the season starts. However, remember to confirm your times via the GolfBox app or the touchscreen in the hall before playing. We expect to continue with the simulator until March. In April it will be possible to play simulator golf until the driving range opens.
Enjoy the weekend. We look forward to seeing you out at the club.
Kind regards
Christian Tage Nyvang Hansen
