Course news

What wonderful weather...

These images below don’t resemble last year’s February. I remember snow drifts and course closures but with this great spell of weather we are having the golfers are definitely taking advantage.

Aeration of the greens

In order to improve drainage, increase gaseous exchange and encourage deeper rooting we annually carry out a set maintenance programme in the spring. This consists of deep solid tining, mini-solid tining and an application of sand/soil top-dressing to fill the holes created. As this is far more efficient when conditions are dry, we have made the decision to undertake the work this week (started on 25th February) whilst the sun is shining. This will allow the work to be carried out as quickly as possible and allow maximum recovery time before the start of the playing season. The greens will also receive a slow release organic feed to improve soil conditions and encourage a small amount of growth.
We thank you in advance for been patient whilst we carry out this essential work

Club news

75 yards? Up-and-down for me...

The majority of golfers know how far they hit their driver and irons with a full swing, but wedges require you to be a lot more accurate if you want to start shooting better scores. So, whilst it can be useful to know how far a full PW or LW goes, you'll benefit far more from dialling in your wedges so you can hit specific distances that you regularly find yourself with on the course.

Give yourself options

You'll notice that different swings with each wedge will result in yardages that overlap - see table above. This is important as it'll give you options when considering the conditions. For example, if you're facing a strong breeze, we'd suggest going up a club and utilising a shorter swing so the ball flies lower with less spin, helping it to penetrate through the wind.

Dial in with Wilson Staff wedges

We'd recommend having a wedge system of the same brand and model, so you remove any variables in feel and spin across wedges.

One model that we love is Wilson Staff's PMP wedge, which provide you with more spin and control than ever before. Factor in that they're available in lofts ranging from 46 degrees to 64 degrees (in increments of two) and we're confident we can fit you into the perfect set-up for your game.

Be honest...

How many of you have gone years without replacing the grips on your clubs? For some of us, the only time we hold onto a new grip is when we've just upgraded our clubs when, in fact, it is something we should be doing at least once a year. With this in mind, are all grips essentially the same?

Golf Pride ALIGN grip

The answer to the above question is no. Many of you will have experienced a Tour Velvet grip on your clubs over the years (black with a white logo down the bottom), but the innovative new ALIGN grip offers so much more. Its raised ridge on the back, coupled with tactile texture, allows you to feel where your hands are placed everytime for consistent results on every shot.

Golf Pride CP2 Wrap grip

We know that a lot of golfers prefer a softer feeling grip at address, which is where the brilliant CP2 Wrap from Golf Pride comes in. Its high-tack surface and ultrasoft rubber offer enjoyable comfort and control on every shot.

We want you to experience these first-hand, so head in-store and claim a FREE grip today.

Spotlight: UltraFIT Boa golf shoe

If you are yet to make the switch from laces to Boa, now is the perfect chance with the soon-to-be-launched FootJoy UltraFIT Boa golf shoe.

The Boa Fit System delivers a fast, precise fit in just a few turns of the dial, providing you with lasting comfort from the 1st tee to the 18th green. Couple this with the usual quality and performance you'd expect from a FootJoy shoe, and you have one of the best shoes on the market for 2019.
