Matt Southwell

Hello Golfers,

We are hoping to be all moved into our brand new shop on the first tee by the end of next week. Please bare with us over the next week while we move stuff across. The current Performance Centre will be rather messy for the next few days but will be open as normal so please come down and check in for your tee time. Enjoy this week’s newsletter!

Tour news

BMW Championship

I headed down to Wentworth on the Friday of the tournament with one of me lessons, Geoff Clarke. We left at 4am to get to the park and ride at Ascot race course for 6.30, so we could be on the range for 7ish to see Rory’s full warm up before he teed off at 8.04. I have seen Rory on a few occasions, but this range warm up was next level. He started with some wedges and worked his way through to his driver. He maybe hit 60 balls and didn’t miss one single shot! The flight, the sound and the carry distance was different to any other player on the range.

I followed Rory for his round in which he managed to shoot a seven under par 65 which in my opinion should have been a 61/62. He missed three six to eight footers on the first three holes and didn’t birdie any of the two final par fives but still managed a 65! He said in his interview after that it’s the best he’s played all year. He had a three shot lead going into the weekend which I thought was more than enough for him to win but his game fell away at the weekend with him finishing second.

Why choose us?

When it comes to purchasing golf equipment there are many factors that you need to take into consideration. One such factor is your shopping destination, so here are just a few reasons why we should be your number one stop for all things golf.

There’s only one choice
Unlike buying blind from the internet and hoping the specs you choose match up and nothing goes wrong, here in the shop you can test a vast range of products and see all the stats for yourself to help you make an informed purchase that you can have total confidence in.

It's our custom fitting ethos that really separates us from buying elsewhere, which is something you really should take advantage of.

Two of the latest iron models that are proving very popular with our members are the Wilson Staff C300 and D300. The former is more compact but has Power Holes that circle the face for distance with forgiveness, while the latter utilises FLX Face Technology where the faces contract and spring for impressive distance in a more forgiving head shape.

Summer's calling

This week takes us into June, which means the hottest months are on the horizon. It also means we’re likely to see more of you making regular appearances here at the club and at this time of year, there is one accessory that is a huge asset, both on and off the course.

You can’t beat a pair of Oakleys
Whether it’s to track your drives in low sunshine or for summer comfort away from the course, we can find a frame shape and lens style to suit you. Both the Oakley Flak 2.0 XL (worn by Cabrera-Bello above) and Oakley Targetline models you see below come with the option of Prizm Golf lenses, which separate similar colours to enhance the differences between grass lengths and highlight subtle breaks on the green.
