Hello everyone,
Well here we are in December, still cold crisp and more importantly dry. It's hard to fault the conditions at the moment; still very playable as the Medal scores from this week showed.
Ben Stanger was the stand out score with a gross 79 from his 11 handicap giving Ben a tidy nett 68.
This week is the Parkland Stableford.
This is really the time it make those important swing changes and bed them in for the start of the new season!
We are still doing 6 lessons for £99. The price has been unchanged for over 5 years and the package gives you six 30 minute sessions with one of us to tackle whatever is holding your game back from bunker shots to 3 foot puts or just tighten up on your technique to improve your consistency.
Remember, this is all available in voucher form for that useful Christmas gift.
Well, what did you make of Tiger Woods' return last weekend? As golf enthusiasts, it was a fantastic sight to see Tiger strolling the fairways again and throwing in a few fist pumps that we've all become accustomed to over the years. There were some interesting stats too:
24 - He made 24 birdies over the four days which was the best in the field
6 - He also carded six double bogeys, the most out of everyone
Midway through Saturday's round it looked as though Tiger was going to challenge for the title - what a story that would have been - but, rather unsurprisingly, the 14-time major champion wilted during his final round as mental fatigue no doubt played a role in his fall down the leaderboard.
But the real shining light was Japan's Hideki Matsuyama. He's been a model of consistency of late and victory last week made it four wins in his last five starts, the other result being a lousy runner-up finish. Phenomenal.
It's the type of form that we all crave, but what are you doing to achieve this in 2017? If you think an upgrade to your new equipment might help then come and see us in the shop and we can talk you through which products might benefit your game. Or maybe you're considering some coaching over the winter to cure your game of that destructive shot that keeps creeping in? If that's the case, we certainly have the expertise to rid your game of faults to help you fulfil your goals next year.
Whatever it is, get in touch with the team here and we'll be happy to help.
New in this week I have two bargain iron sets for you. For the men a Cobra Amp Cell forged set for £299, £500 cheaper than most forged sets out there. And for the girls a lovely Cobra ladies graphite iron set for £299! Two sets only!
The Christmas opening times are simple; we're shut only on Christmas Day but book up in advance because if the weather is good we will be busy.
