Club news

A great achievement!

Well this story is most definitely news-worthy.

One of our members, Mr. Bob Cockshaw has achieved something not many others have this week by beating his age. And no, he's not 105. Bob shot a gross 75 to beat his age by 1 - We'll let you do the math.

Congratulations Bob!

Patricia drives-in...

This Sunday will see our new Lady Captain, Patricia Stocks drive-in. It would be great to see many of you attend and see Patricia off into her captaincy year.

Good luck Patricia for the coming year

Tour news

Holmes brings it home

J.B. Holmes had to master the cold and windy weather whilst navigating 33-holes of golf on a treacherous Sunday to win the Genesis Open over the weekend.

The tournament looked like it belonged to Ryder Cup star Justin Thomas after the American had built up a four-shot lead through 54-holes. Three bogeys in his first five holes soon wiped out Thomas’ advantage and let Holmes through to secure victory by a single shot - despite a brutal three-putt from inside four-feet at the 11th.

Rory McIlroy was on form once again with a top-five finish, whilst Tiger Woods produced the shot of the day when he holed his bunker try at the 16th to rapturous applause.

Holmes showed brilliant resilience to stay on top of his game and overcome the tricky conditions in California, something which we could all learn a thing or two from when the going gets tough. The mental side of the game might not be as glamorous as a textbook swing or new equipment, but is definitely just as important and shouldn't be overlooked if you want to lower your handicap in 2019.

Are you due a check-up?

No, we're not talking about the doctors or dentist, rather your golf club's lofts and lie angles. We've taken delivery this week of a new loft and lie angle machine, so we can get your clubs all checked up, meaning you can start the season rest-assured everything is 100%. The MOT service costs £120 which includes a full loft and lie check but we'll also re-grip your full set of clubs with Lamkin Crossline grips.

Come speak to us in-store.

Get a grip. Literally...

We all love new golf equipment – be it balls, clubs or shoes; there’s nothing like stepping out onto the course knowing that everything in your bag is in pristine condition. Except, for the majority of golfers, there’s always one thing which is often forgotten about...

How old are your grips?

Losing control during your swing?

If you pulled a club out of your bag now, what state would your grips be in?

You’ll probably notice that they’re at the very least losing some of the tackiness they once had or, in the worst cases, worn away so badly that they’re completely unrecognizable - a clear sign they need to be replaced.

The benefits to getting your clubs regripped are huge, and they can even improve your performance. Take the ALIGN grips from Golf Pride; these have a raised edge on the back (red part of grip seen here) to perfect your hand placement every time.

As you can see, we're currently running a promotion where you can get your 7-iron regripped for FREE; all you need to do is pop in-store and decide which of these grips you want to try out.

The winds of change

As we make our way through February, you may begin to notice feeling warmer at the end of a round compared to previous weeks. Yes, spring is well and truly on its way, and that means you’ll need to dress accordingly – after all, no-one wants the faff of continously putting on and taking off layers when searching for the ideal outfit.

The perfect layering piece

We present to you this stylish Go-To Adapt jacket from adidas.

Yes, it looks great and fits perfectly too - not too tight that you'll feel self-concious and restricted, but not too baggy that the butt of the club gets caught during the swing.

But our favourite feature is its fleece-lined shell, which really helps to combat the chill when the breeze is up, as well as its stand-up collar providing added protection from wind and rain.
