This is a reminder to locals:

To encourage parents with youngsters between 4-10 to come play the white course between 9-10 for FREE. 1 adult and 1 child.

I've posted this 2 weeks ago and not one person has turned up to play for free.

Come build your game, get support if wanted, and get your name on the the board

So we had the big tournament it was FREEEEEE event to encourage people to come and play in it and get the youngsters involved in particular.

We had 12 turn up ( most of which were regulars. It was great to have some golfers with good handicaps come and play also.

It was very tough going with some great highlights. Hats off again to Lucas, aged 11, who played some brilliant shots ( I know as he was partnered with me).

The highlight was reading the top 3 and announcing the winner who had tears of joy in his eyes ( with a huge shout of yessss) as he finally got one over on his great pal Peter.

Winning score 100 49/51.

Thank you all for taking part in yet again great spirits.

Hi everyone,

I’m pleased to confirm that we will be reopening the main café throughout August.

I am still awaiting responses from the council regarding my concerns and the proposal for solar panels to be installed. I hope we can have a constructive conversation, because supporting local businesses and investing in the future should be a priority.

Like many hospitality businesses, particularly those on the island, we are facing challenging times. This is exactly when forward thinking and practical solutions are needed. Councils have an opportunity to support businesses while also making long-term savings through sensible investment.

For example, when the Dinosaur roof was repaired, this would have been the ideal opportunity to install around 60 solar panels to help power the building, Browns and ARC. This type of investment could have paid for itself within a few years and created ongoing savings and future income. As a tenant, I would have been willing to recognise that investment with an increased lease value of around £2,000–£3,000 per year.

This isn’t just about saving money today — it’s about planning responsibly for the future. Good decisions now can benefit everyone for years to come.

That said, we are excited to be reopening and welcoming everyone back in August. We’ll see how the month progresses and make a decision regarding September towards the end of August.

The venue is still available for private hire.

I’m looking forward to seeing all our customers again and introducing you to our new team. Thank you, as always, for your continued support.

Take care,

Paul

Good morning ALL

Time for a bloody good rest and re charge. Looking forward to getting off the island and chilling.

10 days 💪 thank you boys who are going to take care of the golf.

Going to see about a lady first and then picking my son up and off to Germany.

What an incredible week for my kids for a multiple of reasons - my kids are my life and Ill do anything for them ❤️

When I come back I'm going to put in place the foundations to meet my goals as to why I took over Browns:

- all under 10s play golf on the WHITE course for FREE between 9-10 EVERY DAY this includes one adult per child
- I will teach all kids in the period if needed
- I will spend more time teaching children on all courses
- on Saturday/Sunday between 10-11 I will teach anyone, any age both putting and chipping.

I simply want to get kids into golf and really give them a good grounding to get into sport.

14 years ago one of my proudest times was teaching kids 4-8 football and seeing them develope.

Teaching golf is now my priority from now until the end of next year and hopefully longer.
