Fitting news
Scotty Cameron Fitting Day
We have a Scotty Cameron Fitting Event on Thursday, 26th October from 2pm-7pm. The full range available including left handed.
All fittings are FREE and will be in the putting studio using the SAM putt lab.
The winter projects that the green staff have undertaken are well and truly underway as they prepare to get the course even better for 2018. The course this year has been superb and the feedback we have received as been very positive!
The process of cutting and collecting deep rough has started, this is to thin out the grass species and to promote new growth, and this is now possible due to the club buying the Wiedenmann Super 500. Also the 17th greenside bunker has been refaced.

How often do you use yours?
If you’re going to challenge your best ever score and start getting that handicap down, sharp wedge play will be an absolute must and to have that you’ll need the tools for the job.
You use them all time
As you can see above, you need to be able to use a wedge from a variety of situations, which makes it so important to have a set-up of two, three or even four that suit your personal technique and the type of shots you like to hit.
With this modern PING Glide 2.0 wedge there are four sole options to aid different swing styles, as well as lofts from 46-60° available to try. We can explain all these options during a fitting and discuss exactly what you’re looking for from your new wedges.
Think back to the distance you hit the ball in the winter... is it as far as you hit it during the summer? The answer is probably no and there are various reasons for that, but using a ball that’ll give you that distance back over the winter could be beneficial.
Not hitting it as far?
Cold winter air is more dense than warmer summer air, increasing both lift and drag forces on your ball, which results in a higher and shorter trajectory. When you combine this with softer fairways, typically colder muscles and more layers of clothing, the distance will keep dropping off.
Unlock more distance
A distance-style ball can be a great counter to these effects, helping you to unlock a few extra yards. The Callaway Supersoft has dimples designed to reduce drag and enhance lift for longer carries, plus its lower compression core delivers faster speed with low spin for more distance.
Carrying on our 'Tips from the Tour' videos, this week we have Ryder Cup star Ian Poulter talking us through the fundamentals to improving your hybrid play.
We hope you have a great week.
