At the AGM of the main club last week, Sean Parker (MD of the company) introduced the possibility of again having a golf shop at Witney Lakes. There are a number of interested parties in this idea but one of them is not the John Cooke School of Golf such that the arrival of a golf shop would mean the departure of John and Matthew Cooke and Deana Rushworth. John's point of view is that in the internet age, golf course shops are not commercially viable and very few members would use one for significant purchases. If, like me, you value and use the John Cooke School, which has a deserved, national reputation you may like to make the Witney Lakes Company aware of your opinion.
Of course, if you think that a shop may be better than the golf school, then you may wish to make the company aware of this.
