Well I would like to introduce you to the newest member of the pro shop team - Nick Chadwick!
Nick (mid week) is a member of Didsbury who graduated from Manchester University with a BA in Geography. He now wants to carve a career in golf by doing the PGA diploma over the next few years. Nick currently has a handicap of 9 but has only just started playing again after his stint at University. Nick will be working Wednesday and Thursday while Nick Howsley (week end) will continue to do Saturday and Sunday. So go team Nick.
A very important date for the ladies - Friday 28th March
I will be hosting a fashion show in the clubhouse starting at 7pm. On show will be this years summer collections from Green Lamb and Daily Sports. The cost of entry is £5 which will include a glass of wine, nibbles and a prize draw ticket. I will also run a special offer of 15% off any purchases or orders on the night so to reserve your place for the evening come and see me in the shop.
The Masters is only 3 weeks away which means that the season is nearly upon us. This year to coincide with the event I have a Callaway Fitting day on Sunday 13th April from 10am to 2pm which will be an excellent opportunity to hit the full range of clubs by Callaway with their fitting technician Andrew. I would advise you to book your appointment with me in the shop ASAP.
Also I have been lucky enough to get a limited edition Callaway tour bag which has been made to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Arnold Palmer winning The Masters and I am going to raffle it off with the draw taking place over the weekend of the tournament. As always I will be running a sweepstake for The Masters at a cost of £10 per player and as usual using only the top 50 players in the tournament. The draw for players will take place on the Wednesday before the start of the first round.
The shop (or is it me) is slowly coming into the 21st century! If you want to keep up with what is happening at the club I am using Facebook and Twitter to inform of problems on the course, what is happening at the club and new stock arriving or special offers I am running in the shop. To become a friend of the shop on Facebook click here and Twitter is Prestbury Pro Shop @PGCProShop.
Hire Before You Buy
When you are playing golf it is easier to hit a good shot if you know the distance to the green or how far it is to reach a bunker or stream and with new technology it doesn't have to take any longer. However as there are a number of distance measuring devices on the market I would like to give you the opportunity of trying either a Skycaddie SGX which gives a detailed map of the hole being played or a Nikon Coolshot which you put to your eye to get the distance. I find that it is personal preference as to which you like. Also if you practice and have an iphone you could have a go with the Skycaddie Skypro which is an ingenious small piece of kit which pops onto the shaft of any club and allows you see your swing along with data that will help you improve your consistency. All 3 items can be hired for £10 each and this will be taken off the price should you decide to buy one!!
With new stock arriving daily I need more space so I am adding some clubs in the sale!!! As well as running the 50% off all clothing which will last for a few days more!!!

I am pleased to say that a number of you have been in giving favourable feed back to my new website which I thank you for but also I urge you to use it regularly as there are a number of special offers and competitions that will appear on there.
At the moment if you buy a pair of Footjoy DryJoy casual shoes you get a free pair of socks, order 4 dozen Titleist Pro V1 balls have them printed with your name or a slogan of your choice and pay for 3 dozen or buy a pair of FootJoy Hydrolite shoes and you could be playing in the BMW PGA Championship Pro-Am at Wentworth!
Finally this week due to unforeseen circumstances I have had to reschedule my Callaway fitting day. The new date is Sunday 13th April between 10am and 2pm. To book your appointment see me in the shop ASAP.
