Hello golfers,

Welcome to this week's newsletter from Knock Golf Club.

Kids Fun Day

Congratulations to the Events Committee who organized a great kids fun day on Friday. As I was walking back and forth to the practice ground I could smell the great food being prepared by Bob, our caterer. It looked amazing. The disco bouncy castle was a huge hit as was the face painting. I was teaching a few visitors who commented on what a great idea it was and it was nice to see so many people having a great time.

Lesson of the Week

Pictured is David Rush who came for a lesson in the Swing Studio. A simple change in his shoulder tilt (The second photo shows his left shoulder is now higher at address) resulted in a better angle of attack (more up) and a different path. I will be checking your score Davy over the next few weeks.

TaylorMade Fitting Day

On Friday I hosted a TaylorMade Fitting Day with all eight slots being filled. Every member enjoyed the experience with some impressive gains in length and dispersion. Pictured below is some of the M1 and M2 heads used on the day and Andrew Gilmour posing like a Tour Pro.

If you missed the day however and would like to book a fitting with one of our team, please click here to get in touch.

Get a grip...

With the heavy rains this week I thought I would remind you of the importance of having food functional golf grips. Pictured is my grip bar in the pro shop showing a wide selection of the best grips on the market. I pride myself on a fast re-gripping service many will wait as I put them on or a next day service is also an option. I fit and install grips all part of the service. If you would like to know more pop in and have a chat. Don't forget gips are our only contact with the club and are massively important!

Shirt Amnesty

The shirt amnesty is going well with many members taking the opportunity to trade-in an old t-shirt and get £10 OFF the price of a new one. I stock the latest FootJoy, adidas and Nike shirt ranges. This offer applies to Knock Golf Club created t-shirts also, so why not pop in store and have a look?
