Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another edition of our newsletter. It’s been a busy week at the Club as Adam has had Junior Elite Squad County coaching on Monday with his fellow Northamptonshire county coaches, Shane Rose and Adam Myers. The course has also been busy with golfers getting out for a round or two.

Enjoy this week’s read!

Pro's news

The Masters

The official start of the season begins this week at Augusta, which is always great viewing and we are sure like us you will be glued to your TV. Let’s hope for a European win. Personally, I think Dustin Johnson has to win the Masters at some point and if he finds his putting boots this could be the week! Let us know who you think will be donning the Green Jacket come Sunday night.

Matt Wallace won the par 3 competition after beating Sandy Lyle on the 3rd extra hole after they both shot 22. Wallace also made history by making the 100th hole in one in the competition, can he become the first golfer to win the Par 3 and the main event?

Join the TM Family…

We have something a little special available, a limited edition TaylorMade Tour bag to celebrate the 2019 Masters. We think you’ll agree this will make you stand out on the course or make a great addition to your office. Click here to find out more.

EuroPro Final Qualifying…

Aaron has final qualification for his EuroPro Tour card next week at Frilford Heath. Aaron has been working hard on his game and also has helped us out massively by helping to cover the shop in the last few months. We are sure you will join us in wishing him the best of luck next week.

Juniors

Easter sees the Juniors kick off another busy season…

Well done to new junior member Charlie Pearce on winning the April Junior Medal with a nett 70 in tough conditions and despite two treble bogeys! Also well done to Hannah Talbot recording the best girl’s score of nett 73.

James Martin produced a magnificent nett 64 to win the Keith Bass Trophy and Division 2 of the competition by a distance, well done James and a long overdue handicap reduction is heading your way! Euan Herson (nett 72) continued a fine run of form to win Division 1 and consolidate his lead at the top of the Junior Order of Merit. Chelsey Sharp (72), Jacob Williams, Kai Raymond and Ellie Horsted (all nett 73) were all in the prizes. It was great to see a record 20 juniors playing in the competition - including 10 year old Maliha Mirza who showed all the low handicappers how to do it by winning the nearest the pin on 2nd and also good to see Robin Williams back at Milton and playing with the juniors and turning in a creditable gross 71 (nett 74!).

The Academy players played a 9 hole pairs scramble and with only two shots covering the field, congratulations go to Isaac Hedger and Harry Roberts who took the first prize with a gross 43. Thomas Glover and Beau Bowden were second with 44. Great to see Hannah and Lily Eagling play their first academy competition and although a little nervous on the first tee they both did brilliantly and look out for their names in the prizes in years to come!

The season's Junior Coaching Programme is now underway with Coach Chambo and with over 40 juniors now attending regular coaching including a dozen or so trying golf for the first time, the Junior Section looks in good shape for 2019.

Running on empty?

If your electric trolley is struggling to make it round 18 holes then it might be time you upgraded its battery. There's been a huge push towards Lithium batteries in recent years as they last longer, charge quicker and are more lightweight than previous Lead Acid equivalents. So, if it's time you change your electric trolley battery, bring your old one in-store and enjoy £25 OFF a brand-new Lithium one.

Don't neglect your #3

A driver is a powerful beast, sometimes too powerful if a hole has a hazard within range. In this scenario, you have a plethero of options to choose from, but there is one that is often overlooked.

Picture the scene

You're stood on a par-4 tee box and there’s a water hazard 240 yards away.

What do you do?

Many of you will reach for your longest iron on auto-pilot, however a custom-fitted fairway wood might just be the perfect solution; getting you further down the hole and closer to the green.

Why is this often overlooked?

A lot of golfers don't have confidence in hitting their fairway wood because, quite simply, they don't use it enough. But with technology to help you hit them better - such as a Tungsten weight in PING's G410 fairway wood that increases forgiveness - it's time you gave them another go.

Custom fitting is key

We're delighted to see so many of you come to us for a custom fit when you're after a new driver or set of irons, but why does it stop there? A custom fitting is so important in ensuring you get the most from any new purchase, whether that's a driver, fairway wood or putter.

More to it than you think...

Long gone are the days of wearing uncomfortable metal spikes on a flat leather outsole - although there is something weirdly special about those classic golf shoes. Anyway, technology has advanced for the better in recent years with a huge focus on improving traction and stability.

Under Armour Spieth 3 golf shoe

There aren't many golf brands who take traction as seriously as Under Armour. With the help of superstar Jordan Spieth, they've come up with a brand new way to increase stability throughout the swing.

Take this extremely popular Spieth 3 model for example; its second generation Rotational Resistance outsole keeps you locked down for ultimate traction - something you'll notice from the very first swing.

Video of the Week
