Nick Summerfield

More good news is that I have a Callaway fitting day with technician Tom on February 1st from 10am to 2pm.

Tom will have the whole new range plus the Jaws wedges which were launched late last year. I will be available to help but I would urge anyone who is very interested in trying them to book an appointment with Tom who will be happy to discuss the numbers on his Flightscope!

If you'd like to book a place on this fitting event contact us here

Competition news

4BBB Stableford

This week saw the gents play a 4BBB stableford and 22 pairs took to the course, in 3rd place with 43 points were Alan McGuigan and David Rowley, in 2nd place with 45 points were John Woof and Simon Moorhouse but clear winners with 47 points were Rob Irving and captain elect Nick Wood.

I just hope that Nick isn’t playing all his good golf before our challenge matches begin later in the season!

Pro's news

A first for me!

I have to admit that I rarely keep my clubs long enough or if I do play enough golf with them to have to re-grip them!

However, as I plan to play more golf this year and I have found a set of irons which I like and suit my game I took the opportunity this week while it was raining to replace my old grips with some new Golf Pride Tour Velvet align grips.

Hopefully, they will work as well as they feel

Finally

I don’t often complain or get frustrated with things that happen at the club but unfortunately, we as players need to take more care of the course if we wish to have it in pristine condition in the coming months.

I have noticed that there are a number of un-repaired pitch marks on every green, bunkers raked without care and a number of divots not replaced on the fairways. The latter I know can be due to birds picking the divots out but the pitchmarks and bunkers are caused by all players on the course and at this time of year mainly members!

As I mentioned we must help keep the course in good condition so that Mark and his team can present it in all its glory – Rant over!

Evolution...

It’s safe to say that the technology embedded into today’s clubs has helped us hit the ball further without swinging any harder. For some that might mean hitting the ball as far as we did before the effects of ageing started to take place, whereas for others it means booming drives 300+ yards and reaching par-5s in two.

Just imagine...

If you hit every club in your bag five to ten yards further, your tee shots will be longer and you'll have less distance remaining to the green. So, rather than standing there with a 6-iron you might now have an 8-iron in your hand, which gives you a much better chance of hitting it close.

We can help you!

This can be the reality for a lot of club golfers today, but only if you make sure your clubs are right for your swing. With lots of new products hitting the shelves in the coming weeks, now's the perfect time to try out a few different options and see if we can make a difference to your game.

Rainy season

Hats off to any weekday and weekend warriors out there. It’s great to see that no matter how cold or wet it is, you still venture onto the course to enjoy some time with your friends. We only have one piece of advice for you: be well equipped for what Mother Nature might throw your way!

At least this guy has a brolly! But, when it comes to playing golf in the rain, we're talking about a lot more than simply that. From the latest waterproof suits (jacket and trouser) to bags and umbrellas, it’s all key to staying dry with a smile on your face.

When it comes to your clothing, we recommend wearing PING's Anders II jacket and trousers (pictured above). They're completely waterproof, remarkably unrestrictive and are available for you to try on in-store.
