Competition news

The Anniversary Cup

This was won at a canter by Sean Gray with a nett 64, second was pairs supremo Graham Denham with 71, third was Mike Jennings and fourth was Gary Hague also on 71. The top nine all have prizes to collect and on the subject of collections please if you have not done it collect your membership pack from the pro shop please.

Howdidido

Here is a message from Gary Hague who is keen for you all to get involved with this league:

Well that's all the medals complete for May and Howdidido have collated all the scores and updated their website. Not a bad start by Stephen but Chris is not far behind. For those not in the top 5, please click here to find your place.

There are two more chances to post good scores in June with the monthly medal and the Greenwood trophy coming up. We only have 21 people so far, so for those not in yet get on the website and sign up. It’s free and I will be providing a trophy come the end of the season.

See you in the 19th!

Fitting news

All kinds of gains!

I had a great yardage gain when new member Philip Sivyer came for a fitting, I knew we would have a positive result as Philip had an inexpensive set of old Wilson X31 irons against Philips number one choice of the Callaway Rogue iron.

At the top where it says ‘driver’ is actually Philip’s 7 iron and below where it says 6 is the Rogue. It’s like this because we end up going through lots of custom options to end up with our best make up.

Look at the gains in distance, 28 yards on one club! And the extra height and ball speed, we will keep an eye on Philip and see what the Rogues do to his scores.

I hear a lot of you say that you have been to our local shopping outlet for a fitting. All I would say is that I would trust my own eyes hitting a ball into net then with a salesman. It is not the same as the fitting I will give you because my motivation is not solely money, I do actually care what you buy and how good it is for your game. Plus I have to see you again!

Contact me here for a fitting.

Create your look

We may be heading into summer soon but it’s still important to have the right clothing on you in case the weather changes. A lightweight mid-layer is the perfect piece to keep in your bag for exactly this reason, and combining it with other layers can create a great look.

UA Playoff polo

UA Windstrike vest

These Under Armour options come in a range of colours. It means that you can drop by and pick up just one item to complement your existing wardrobe, or build a whole new outfit from scratch. If you go for the latter option, we’ll be happy to help you combine three golf specific layers so you’ll never have a problem with temperature regulation or feeling restricted, which are two common grievances we hear from members who are replacing high street clothing.

The easy way...

One way to hit the ball further is to swing faster, but more often than not this will harm your accuracy and your quality of strike. An alternative option is to get custom fitted for one of the brilliant drivers we have in-store, where you can swing exactly the same each time and let the correct set-up do all the hard work to gain you yards.

The easy way to gain distance
If you’ve been put off investing in a new driver because you’re worried that your swing needs some work, you’re needlessly missing out on lots of immediate benefits. In reality you needn’t worry about this problem, as modern drivers are very adjustable and allow us to re-optimise them to suit your new swing as regularly as necessary.

This Lynx #BB driver offers us the tools to do this thanks to an adjustable loft hosel and its moveable 3g sole weights, which lets us alter your shot shape. You’ll also find a sole channel that contracts and springs to increase ball speeds to give you effortless long distance.
