Do you use a GPS?

The reason why we use range finding devices is to ensure we pick the correct club for the shot in front of us. If you are someone who struggles judging the distance, then it’s definitely worth looking into a GPS device.

The new Phantom GPS by Bushnell is a no-nonsense golf GPS that features a pocket sized design with all the essential distance readings to make your game more accurate.

Preloaded with 36,000+ courses in more than 30 countries, it has easy-to-read front/centre/back distances and up to 4 hazard distances per hole. With Bluetooth for wireless course updates, there is no need to sync your device with a PC to update. You can also have access to the Bushnell app with the Phantom allow you to access even more features.

The Phantom GPS watch is capable of instantly recognizing courses and has an auto hole advance feature which automatically changes from one hole to the next, meaning you don't have to push another button the entire round. The new Phantom GPS is set to change and improve the way you assess distances, ultimately improving your performance.

Match report - Ray Jackson

l am sorry to report a loss to Alsager on the final match of the season which means probable relegation to the 2nd division, so l send my apologies to the club for not keeping us in the upper echelons. Hopefully it will only be a short stay and that we gain our place back at the end of next season. l would also offer my profound thanks and gratitude to all who played this year hope that you will continue to support our team. On a brighter note l am looking forward to the presentation night at Alsager when l receive the Emery Hughes Price memorial trophy to have in our cabinet for the next year and with luck play a solid defence next year. l wish everyone a good winters golf and look forward to next season.

All the best to all and happy golfing!

New irons to improve your game

Buying a set of clubs is exciting, but can be a tricky decision - you might love the look of the short irons, but feel a bit daunted by the longer clubs further up the set. However, you can always mix and match your clubs so that your long irons are more forgiving and your short irons are more workable, allowing you to strike approach shots from any distance with confidence.

Mix & match with Wilson Staff

Why not try combining Wilson Staff's C300 long irons with its C300 Forged short irons? The C300 has increased forgiveness, thanks to five Power Holes strategically placed around the clubface, as well as a medium topline to boost confidence at address. This all points towards them being much easier to hit, helping you improve the accuracy and striking of your long irons. Combine this with the C300 Forged short irons, which have a thinner topline for enhanced workability and better control further down the set, and you'll be peppering the pin from every yardage imaginable.

Layer up, autumn's here

Normally when you watch golf on TV, you see the world’s best showing off their golfer’s tan in their polos. When the Ryder Cup gets underway this week in Paris however, things will be a lot colder, and we’ll see golfers on both teams ditching the short sleeves and going for a golf-specific mid-layer to help them stay warm.

The middle man
One mid-layer which will guarantee you comfort and warmth on the course is Galvin Green’s Diego pullover. The Diego is made from INSULA fabric, which combines lightweight breathability with thermal regulation to keep you comfortable in cooler temperatures. One feature that makes this sweater stand out from the rest is its stylish front chest pocket, something that we think you'll love.

Spotlight: Titleist TS drivers

The hugely exciting Titleist TS2 and TS3 drivers have been the cause of some phenomenal performance gains for club golfers and tour professionals alike.

Titleist say it's stripped the driver down to its vital essence before building it back up to be faster, longer and better in every way possible. Well, there's only one way to find out - come and see us for a thorough custom fitting and put the TS to the test.
