New in - Callaway XR Speed driver

Callaway released a new range last week, the new XR Speed range replaces the XR16 range. The XR16 range was hugely successful, chalking up two major wins (Henrik Stenson and Danny Willett) so the XR Speed has a lot to live up to! Early testing and fitting has gone great, the range offers some great loft options in driver at 9, 10.5 and 13.5 degree. With the adjustability we can get this driver to 15.5 degrees, which if you are looking for more launch and carry distance, is well worth putting it up against your own. We have a great selection available and Callaway are saying this is the fastest most forgiving ‘non Jailbreak’ driver they have bought to market. Please note, this driver is not replacing Epic or Rogue!

This driver has only been released in Europe and is priced at £299.

Fitting event

We have a Titleist Fitting Event on Friday 8th June, from 11am-3pm. Each appointment last 45mins and is FREE of charge.

Titleist will have their very successful range of 917 woods to try along with the new addition of SM7 wedges.

Coaching news

Golfers have suggested it would be good if we could offer a monthly coaching plan (similar to our winter package) so with this in mind, we have a new package which may be of interest to you:

90 minutes of coaching per month on any area of the game, indoors or out using GC2, Boditrak, Sam Putt Lab and Flightscope.
6 hole playing lesson per month to ensure we are taking your range game to the course.

The cost of this package is from £85 per month (minimum sign up 3 months). We have limited spaces available, please contact us if you would like more information or to book your space

Let’s work together to make 2018 a great golf season!

Hitting shots into the wind

How do you ensure you don’t lost distance or control into the wind? Next time you're hitting shots in the wind, try this:

- Narrower stance with the ball slightly further back than normal

- More weight onto left side at address

- Make a smooth 3/4 swing

Remember the harder you hit it into the wind the higher the ball will fly!

Junior news

Milton’s juniors are having a great start to the season.

Congratulations to Morgan Cresswell, who won the County Junior Academy Championships on Sunday at Brampton Heath with a stunning one over par gross score round the Brampton Par 3 course.

Meanwhile Rylan Thomas was sweeping the board back at Milton winning the Junior Medal, qualifying for the junior Pro-Am team and winning his Division in the Izzard Trophy Qualifier.

Last week Jade Roberts shot a hugely impressive 74 gross to win the Ladies Coronation Trophy. Welcome to single figures Jade!

Jade, Rylan and Morgan have all been attending the winter junior squad coaching sessions with Adam and all the hard work is clearly paying dividends. Adam's next junior squad session is Saturday 26th May at 5pm -"Getting up and down around the greens" - book soon or you may be disappointed as spaces are limited.

We are delighted to say that Robin Williams early season form continues to catch the eye of the GB & I selectors again. With a solid performance in tough conditions at the Lytham Trophy (gross 68,73,77,77 - CSS for every round was 76!) Robin has climbed back to the top of the European Under 18 rankings and incredibly at only 16 years of age is now the 5th ranked European in the Men's Amateur rankings.

Robin has been named in the GB&I men's provisional squad of 20 for the St Andrews Trophy in Finland 26/27July, played against Continental Europe in non-Walker Cup years and is considered one of the top honours for men in the Amateur game. The final squad will be named following the European Men's Team Championships in July. Good luck to Robin in the English Men's Amateur Championship (Brabazon Trophy) at Frilford Heath over the Bank Holiday weekend.

What's your go-to club?

Some rounds our driver is our best friend, consistently finding the fairway and not putting us into any trouble off the tee. Other rounds, however, it’s a completely different story as we find ourselves anywhere but the fairway. On rounds like the latter, it’s important to have a ‘go-to’ safety club you can use from the tee.

What’s your fairway finder?
Having too many options isn’t always a good thing in golf because sometimes you’ll find it hard to fully commit to a shot. Having said that, it’s important to have an alternative option in your armoury – such as a fairway wood – that you can trust to keep you in play when it matters.

The adjustable Mizuno GT180 fairway wood is quite compact, making it a superb option for those of you who like to shape the ball into position from the tee. If you’re seeking raw distance to tackle tight tee shots, the Mizuno ST180 fairway wood’s Wave sole helps create a piercing ball flight we think you’ll love.

As with any club in your bag, it's vital that you go through a thorough custom fitting to ensure you get the most from these Mizuno fairway woods.
