Great banter over the festive period

Pictured here is David Wilson who had to wear the snowman outfit for collecting the wooden spoon prize in his group the Saturday before Christmas.

Looking good David!

All for a good cause

Pictured here is the Lady Captain Eve McCracken handing over a massive cheque for over Six Thousand pounds to her charity Brainwaves.

Congrats Eve on a superb amount raised by yourself and the Knock Ladies section.

New arrivals from TaylorMade

Rory's new driver has just landed into your Pro shop. Pictured here is the new TaylorMade Woods and irons called the SIM (shape in motion). I have all the fitting product to try in the studio.

If your interested in playing the same clubs as Rory, Tiger, Dustin, Rose and Day pop in and have a look or book a fitting.

I’m excited to learn how this stuff performs.

FootJoy Boot now in stock

As the weather becomes colder (and wetter) I have invested in FootJoy Boots.

I have a full-size run in very warm waterproof practical boots for the winter season.

Pop in and have a look.

Ready. Set. Go.

Hands up if you’re still feeling stuffed from the excessive (but highly enjoyable) eating over the festive period...

We’re not going to ask anything too strenuous of you this week as we ease our way into the new year so don’t worry! Instead, take a quick look at the image below and see if any of it looks familiar to you.

With a new season upon us and plenty of new products arriving in your local pro shop over the next few months (more on this in the coming weeks), now’s the perfect time to wave goodbye to the old tatty golf shoes, the worn-out gloves in a pile at the bottom of your bag, and the golf balls with more scuff marks than dimples!

If you’re the type of golfer who keeps on top of their equipment then we salute you but if any of the above rings true, pop by the shop this weekend and give your stuff a winter MOT. We’re always here to help.

A bag for life

Following on from our article above, how many things are you trying to jam into your golf bag before every round? For us, a golf bag is so much more than something to lug your clubs around in; instead, it’s an extension of your locker with a place for everything you might need out on the course.

From lucky charms to hand cream, you name it and there’s a good chance a pro has carried it in their bag – well, their caddy to be more precise!

Whilst a tour bag might not be a realistic option for most club golfers, TaylorMade’s Deluxe cart bag (pictured above) is one that we 100% recommend for anyone wanting a bit more space to house their belongings.

Come down to the pro shop to take a closer look and, whilst you’re here, take a look at the other bags (both stand and cart) that we have available.

PING's G410 Plus driver

Unfortunately, we all miss the fairway from time-to-time (some of us more than others) but the question we'd like to ask you is:

Are you giving yourself the best chance of finding the short stuff?

What we love most about PING's G410 Plus driver is that we can move the weight into a draw, fade or neutral setting to help you fight your common miss. So, if you have a slice we can put this into a draw setting for you to promote a right-to-left ball flight.
