Pro's news

Ryder Cup

Only a month to go to the Ryder Cup in Paris, from this weekend I will be collecting for pro shop draw. The selections that will be required from everyone that enters Is A) the winning team and B) select who you think will be top points scorers in each team.

The winners will be A) Winning Team and B) The highest joint points scored from your two player selections added together.

Hope this makes sense but will explain more when I see you in the shop.

Setting your sights

How many times do you find yourself lining up your shot and thinking "this is about an 8-iron from here to the pin", only to find that you end up 10-15 yards short of the hole? Being able to utilise accurate yardages is a key step to taking your game to the next level, which is why we'd recommend using a GPS device to ensure you always know exactly how far you have left to the pin.

Information at a glance

If you are yet to make the step into GPS assistance, why not try out the Garmin Approach S20? The watch's high-sensitivity GPS receiver gives you the distance data you need to fire away with confidence and hone in on the pin. You'll have distance to the front, back and middle of the green, as well as hazards, doglegs and layups.

We're here to help

The season is coming to a close and that means it's more important than ever to work hard on the parts of your game that are letting you down. Maybe you aren't getting enough distance on your drives or perhaps your chipping simply isn't up to scratch - either way, we're here to help.

Lessons and coaching

If you find yourself making poor decisions time and time again, why not book yourself in for a playing lesson so that we can help you to think your way to a better score? Alternatively, come and speak to us about a long-term plan - we offer various lesson packages which we can tailor to suit your needs.

Have you been custom fitted?

Custom fitting is particularly helpful and it's not just for low handicappers either - the more you struggle with distance and accuracy, the more there is to gain from playing with clubs that are tailored to your swing. We stock several brands in-store, each with a model in their line-up to suit mid to high handicappers, so come and challenge us to improve your game - we're certain we can.

Spotlight: ProQuip Pro-Flex EVO Gilet

With summer coming to an end and wetter climes fast approaching, the clothing you wear on the golf course becomes even more important.

ProQuip believe it has the perfect solution to combining freedom of movement and staying dry in its Pro-Flex EVO windproof gilet. Quilted panels with Thinsulate lining provide exceptional warmth, whilst the knitted power stretch fabric means your swing won't be affected by the additional layer.
