Pro's news

The Chase Pro-Am 2019

The day was a great success with very challenging conditions, it started with spots of drizzle, but soon turned to heavy rain! The golf course surprised a lot of the visiting golfers and the PGA who didn’t expect the course to hold up to the conditions as well as it did during the day’s play. We would like to thank all the golfers who took part, we really appreciate your support.

It’s always nice for a home team to win the Pro-Am, so a huge congratulations to the winning team of Adam Hodgetts, Darren Barker, Chris Cole & Team Professional – Christopher Evans with a fantastic score of -16! The professional individual event was a joint victory for Christopher Evans and Chris Freeman with great scores of 70 in those tough conditions.

It's always nice to get something for our old bits and bobs. Take your car for example, with many people now taking the opportunity to get money off a new car by part-exchanging their old car as part of the deal.

Well, we're now running a brilliant offer with our friends at Motocaddy, which will see you get up to £60 back in cash (minimum return is £50) when you trade-in your old electric trolley whilst purchasing a new Motocaddy electric trolley in-store.

Find the short stuff

If you’re an equipment junkie, there’s nothing quite like standing on the first tee clutching the latest driver – especially, with the marketing promise of faster ball speeds and greater distance firmly in your mind. The question is, should this be your number one priority with the big stick in hand?

Introducing Wilson Staff's D7 driver

One driver that will be in lots of golfers' bags this year is this beauty from Wilson Staff.

As well as the impressive ball speeds and distance gains from its REAKT Technology, there is another feature that will certainly help you find more fairways.

It's called Dynamic Launch Control and works by repositioning internal weight at different locations depending on the loft of the driver, to help counter common misses at those lofts.

So, what are you waiting for? Come and have a chat to us in the shop and we can start you on your journey to better golf this summer.
