Ready for action
The practice bunker at the practice green (to the right of the 1st green) has been filled up and ready for a busy golf season. It’s been dug out and filled with the new (whiter) sand.
It’s a great place to practice safely, if anyone would like a bunker lesson get in touch or pop up for a bit of practice.
Thank you to the greens staff and well done on a great job. |

Masters Sweepstake
With the first Major just around the corner and with all eyes on our very own ‘Rory', I will be running a Masters Sweepstake.

Second hand Electric trolleys
I have taken stock of a few Electric trolleys both with Lithium batteries, prices starting from £169. If you would like to see them pop in and have a look.
|
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. |

Start the new season the right way
With the season just around the corner it’s time to check your clubs. Are the grips worn and or slippy? Are they a correct fit for your hands? All part of our service is a grip fitting and all our prices include fitting of the grips. I pride myself on next day turn around or if I can I will regrip whilst you wait.... Pop in and have a look, I stock a wide range of popular grips on offer in ladies, standard, midsize and jumbo size. |

Boa constrict your footwear |
There's been two major trends in the golf footwear market in recent years: the first is the surge in spikeless shoes, and the other is Boa. So, what actually is the Boa Fit System and is it anything to do with snakes? |
| FootJoy UltraFIT Boa golf shoe
|
|
No, it's nothing to do with snakes. Phew. Rather, the Boa Fit System has revolutionized footwear for the better and we absolutely love it. Instead of using traditional laces, Boa utilises a steel wire (virtually unbreakable) that is effortlessly tightened via an easy-to-use dial strategically placed on the shoe (seen above). To loosen, simply pull out the dial and open up at the tongue. |
With FootJoy's UltraFIT Boa, which is available in-store now, you will be guaranteed a comfortable fit every time safe in the knowledge that your laces will not come undone or get tangled throughout your round. If you haven’t already experienced Boa, then we implore you to come down to the store and try on this fantastic option today - no obligation. |
