Gent’s Dinner

With the season fast approaching the first social event was held in the club house with a good turnout for the Gent’s Dinner, the speakers were very entertaining, and a good night was had by all. It was great of the speakers to point out the celebrity that was in attendance!

Grip Offer

Get a Grip

Our 2018 promotional campaign gets under way this week, we have teamed up with the #1 grip supplier Golf Pride to offer you a FREE re-grip on your 7 iron.

Take a look at your grips, you may feel they are ok but if you compare them to a new grip you will be surprised at the difference. Even though they may not look worn, grips get worn and a bit shiny over time, the consequence is that you start gripping the club harder which leads to poor shots and higher scores.

Come in and look at the different grips available and get your season off to a good start.

 

2 models. Your choice.

Lynx has been rapidly growing as a brand over the past few years and we're delighted to be stocking their fantastic range for 2018. One product we want to draw your attention to is the Prowler VT irons, which produce faster ball speeds, greater distance and a larger sweetspot for increased forgiveness - and they look stunning.

Don't overlook its importance

For years one of the key questions when buying a new driver was: regular, stiff or x-stiff? It goes to show that people have always known that the shaft needs to be considered, but how much importance should we place on it?

Correct shaft, better statistics
Do you want to hit more fairways this season? The two ball flights you can see below perfectly display the risks of using a shaft flex or shaft weight that’s poorly matched to your swing speed.

Course Illustration

A shaft that is too stiff or heavy will likely lead to a lower ball flight that can leak right (like the red arrow), whereas a shaft that is too light or flexible often kills distance and causes hooks (like the white arrow). Working together it won’t take long to narrow down the best shafts to optimise your distance and accuracy, helping you to hit more fairways.

Cleveland Launcher HB driver

Getting the right head to match the shaft will also play a big part, and one we could try is the Cleveland HB driver that is aimed at golfers with an average swing speed. It has been designed to maximise your distance and forgiveness to help you hit more fairways without getting overly complicated with adjustability.

When and why?

When it comes to golf equipment, there are very few things we see neglected as much as grips, which is surprising when you consider they are your only point of contact with the club. If you keep on reading you’ll find out why it’s important to keep your grips in good condition and when you should look to replace them, as well as an offer that we're currently running in-store.

Golfer

When should you consider a regrip?
Small amounts of wear occur with each use of your grips and it’s easy to miss early warning signs. As a rule-of-thumb, your grips should be replaced every 40 rounds, but this can be sooner if you practice regularly. For most of you, that would mean replacing your grips every year.

Why regrip?
Worn grips force you to hold the club tighter than usual, increasing pressure and tension in your hands, wrists and arms. This reduces the head speed you can create and therefore your distance. However, using a tacky grip that matches the size of your hands – no, it’s not one size fits all – will cater for a lighter pressure and give you more confidence on every swing.
