PING Fitting Day
Tuesday saw the PING fitting day taking place at our practice ground. I had no problem filling the eight slots available and everyone seemed pleased with the experience and fitting.
I particularly enjoyed seeing male and female members taking this opportunity. Below is Joan Sinclair waiting to have a fitting session and yes Joan did hit it longer. Also pictured is Irene Reid starting her fitting session and yes both where still smiling at the end of it!
If you missed the event but are still looking to get custom fit for a new set of clubs, please click here to get in touch.
Get a grip!
As winter approaches its even more important to have good golf grips.. Your hands will be colder and you will be sure to be faced with wetter conditions. Bring in your set of clubs and I will check to see what clubs need to be re-gripped.
I have numerous grips in stock to choose from, so make sure you call in to the pro shop and see my grip bar.
New arrivals...
