Pro Shop 9 Hole Stableford

Congratulations to Andy Wells and Bill Bennett for winning Divisions 1 and 2 in the Pro Shop 9 Hole Stableford with scores of 18 and 24 points respectively. 


Winter League

Sunday was the last week of this season's Winter League. On the frostiest morning of the winter so far the conditions were a bit of a lottery! The Captain and I had a very enjoyable game against Brian Pennington and Dave Snell. After winning the first two holes Dave and Brian slowly reeled us in, eventually taking a one up lead going up the last hole. I managed to hit my tee shot onto the temporary green to scrape a half. Thanks for the game guys, it was great fun!


 

Brave Women!

Last Thursday we were looking at chipping in our Ladies group lessons. Although it was dry, it was extremely cold on the short game area, I couldn't feel my feet after two hours! So well done to the nine ladies who showed up and improved their chipping! 

If you would like to join the group lessons, please call the shop on 01625 586200 (Ext 2) or click here.


 

The New Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x are now in stock! Special Offer

I am pleased to say we now have the new Pro V's in stock, having tried both they are certainly performing much better than the old model. There are going to be a number of golfers who will switch from the V1 to the V1x due to the different characteristics.

As a special offer I am giving golfers the chance to buy a sleeve of each ball (1 x V1 and 1 x V1x) for £20, reduced from £24.

Alternatively, please call 01625 586200 (Ext 2) or click here to book your ball fitting today.


 

How has Mandy improved her ball striking?

Mandy has been working hard this winter to take her game to the next level. After managing to drop her handicap from 36 to 23 in a short space of time, she is now working on changing her swing to get her handicap down this year.

Mandy has been suffering from hitting the ground before the ball and has a tendency to hit high shots when she strikes it well. Both of these factors lead to a loss of distance. As you can see in the 'before' picture, Mandy has a tendency to release the club too early in the downswing, this leads to the clubhead passing the hands before impact which in turn causes inconsistent striking.

As you can see in the 'after' picture, she is now managing to get her hands leading the club into impact, which is helping her to strike the ball more consistently and has added in excess of 20 yards to her shots. 

If you want to change your swing like Mandy, please click here to book a lesson or call 01625 586200 (Ext 2). We offer all new customers an introductory lesson for only £9.99!
