Junior news

A busy junior Easter

It's a very busy Easter period coming up for our juniors with 6 club matches, one of the "Junior Majors" - the Keith Bass Trophy plus county and international commitments coming up for several of our players.

It was great to have Robin Williams along to our latest coaching session with Adam, talking about the importance of good tempo and balance on wedge play and Robin gave us an impressive demonstration of how he controls his wedge distances.

Good luck to Robin representing England Under 18s in the French Boys Championship this weekend and to all our Juniors - we hope you have a very successful and enjoyable Easter - keep practising with those wedges!

Fitting news

Vokey fitting

We had a Titleist SM7 fitting event last week which Sam hosted, during the fittings he was making sure he matched lofts into sets (to ensure correct gapping with rest of the set), and ensuring everyone had the right bounce and grind to help them with their short game.

Using the correct bounce and having the correct grind/sole design on the wedge can really help you to improve, for example if you struggle out of bunkers (taking too much sand/hitting well before the ball) you may find a wedge with a wide sole and more bounce would help. We have a huge selection of demo wedges including Titleist SM7, Callaway Mackdaddy, TaylorMade and PING wedges available for fitting.

Custom fitting helps

In our recent survey, 82% of people who had been custom fitted said they had noticed an improvement to their game and of the enjoyment of their game. With the facilities, demo ranges and skill sets we have, we are sure we can help you to find the right clubs to help you to improve your performance and to get the more enjoyment from your game. We also have plans for left hand demo events, ladies demo events and other fitting events throughout the year. Watch this space!

What can be custom fitted:

Driver, fairway woods and hybrids
Long irons, driving irons
Irons
Wedges
Putter
Golf ball

Doesn't he look good?

There’s a well-known phrase: if you can’t beat them, join them. So while it’s unlikely you’ll be challenging for a Ryder Cup place later this year, why not join the world’s best in following the latest golf trends?

Tour stars like Jordan Spieth and Matthew Fitzpatrick aren’t the only fans of this Under Armour Threadborne Tour polo, which has been getting a lot of attention in our shop.

It’s made from a bespoke Threadborne Microthread fabric that dries faster so it doesn’t cling to you, won’t chafe and stretches without absorbing sweat, helping you to get a full range of motion and stay cool.

Spikeless or cleated?

Having the confidence to swing powerfully comes from knowing that you have a stable base, which requires footwear you can trust. There are two types of outsole on modern golf shoes – cleated and spikeless – and we stock a range of both here in the shop, including these two fantastic options.

Opt for off-course versatility
With spring finally on our doorstep it’s a great time of year to consider a pair of spikeless shoes. This Under Armour Performance SL model has a waterproof upper and, despite being spikeless, special rotational resistance traction elements deliver all the grip you need on and off the course.

Choose stability and traction
Get the tour look as well as fantastic grip and stability with this Under Armour Spieth 2 shoe. It’s been created with the help of Jordan Spieth and boasts Gore-Tex waterproof protection, lightweight underfoot cushioning and Rotational Resistance spikes that enhance stability and improve traction.
