A Miserable Week turns out Great!

I must admit that my week at work was a lot shorter than normal due to the course being closed most of the week due to the rain.

It did however give Joe and I the opportunity to do a few much-needed jobs around the shop in readiness for the coming season.

However, it wasn’t all doom and gloom as we welcomed grandchild #3 into the family.

I’m pleased to say that after a bit of a worrying start in life young George Edward Summerfield is doing well as is his mother.

Both are now home and doing very well after spending the first week in Bolton at a neonatal hospital.

Ideas for us to do

Joe and I have decided to do some tutorial videos over the next coming months, and we were hoping to get some suggestions of you.

If there is anything you would like us to cover, whether its something simple like hitting a fade or certain type of bunker shot.

Just come into the shop and let us know so we can film some videos to show you how.

Im tames the bear

Sung-jae Im mastered the Bear Trap on Sunday to claim his maiden PGA Tour title with a one-shot victory at the Honda Classic.

Both Tommy Fleetwood and Mackenzie Hughes were attempting to chase the South Korean down but Im played what is widely regarded as the hardest three holes on the PGA Tour (15 through 17 on the Champion Course – Palm Beach Gardens) in 2-under to open up a one-shot cushion he wouldn’t relinquish coming up the 18th.

Odyssey Triple Track Putter

The Odyssey Triple Track Putters are developed from Callaway’s popular golf ball line, with three lines that are prominently featured at the centre of the putter head.

Triple Track Technology utilizes Vernier Hyper Acuity, the same visual technology used to land planes on aircraft carriers, to easily improve your alignment for better putting accuracy.

And when you can find the right line, you’ve got a much better chance of making the putt.

Price Comparison test

In our spare time this week, we have done a little bit of research of our own to ensure that we stay competitive both in terms of price and service.

We took several products that we stock here at Prestbury GC and compared the price to what other retailers online, and on the High Street charge for the very same product.

You can click the link below to see our findings, and I think you may be pleasantly surprised!~

Please also bear in mind that the service that you receive if you were to shop elsewhere isn't even comparable to what we offer here in the Pro Shop.

With all club purchases, for example, we offer impartial expert advice to ensure that you will be happy with the club you purchase. You won't find that online!

The art of putting

‘Drive for show, putt for dough’. No doubt you have heard this one a few times before but considering putting equates to between 30 to 50% of our shots on the course, it also has a large element of truth in it.

Odyssey Stroke Lab Triple Track putters

There's some clever technology out there to help you putt better. For example, Odyssey has taken the Triple Track Alignment from the ERC Soft golf ball and combined it with their Stroke Lab shaft to create this stunning range of putters.

If you're someone who struggles to line up correctly on the greens, come and try Odyssey's Triple Track putters at Prestbury Golf Club. Better putting might just be around the corner.

The whole puzzle

If you're considering buying new irons this year, have a think about how they are going to blend into the rest of your set. The idea is to have equal yardage gaps between each club in your bag so, if you are going to treat yourself, it might be worth replacing a long iron with a hybrid that is easier to hit.

Take danger out of play

The illustration here is a good example of where a hybrid comes in handy. When our driver brings danger into play and a long-iron leaves us too far to the green, a hybrid is the perfect option.

One hybrid that we particularly like is the Lynx Black Cat. It has a beautiful matte crown finish, which you're going to love looking down on address. Call us on 01625 828242 if you fancy trying it out.

I hope you enjoyed the newsletter and have a great weekend.
