Pro's news

Back to my old stomping ground...

I headed back to my old stomping ground of St Mellion to play in their 2018 Pro-Am on Tuesday of this week. I played well shooting -1 71 gross finishing second. I thoroughly enjoyed the round with my team which included Rob Davey, John Chapman and our very own Yelverton lady Karen Friendship – our team scored 71 points.

Looking forward to the first stage of The 2018 British Open qualifier which will be held at Minchinhampton Golf Club this coming Monday - Mr Steve Seward is on the bag #dreamteam.

Lauren's corner

What a fantastic week we have had in the shop, as Adam mentioned we have had a new delivery of stock. Our new rail was designed and constructed by the very talented Mr Martin Blampey - Thanks Martin, proper Job!

Despite the dreich weather (very Scottish word), it was lovely to see such a great turn out for Men’s Medal and Merrivale Cup. I must say I admire the Yelvy Golfers determination. Even after a 40-minute fog delay, our boys put those waterproofs back on and headed out to complete their round of golf. Now that’s dedication!

Our Ladies Three Ball Betterball Open takes place on Monday. Matt and myself will be in the shop as Adam will be away competing in The Open Qualifier. We have a full field and should be a great day for the Ladies, fingers crossed for the weather!

Winter vs summer

Summer golf throws up different requirements and skill sets to that of winter golf, and you’ll often find yourself in positions or playing shots that you wouldn’t necessarily face at the other times of the year. The checklist below highlights the main performance differences you’ll notice between seasons, with an emphasis on distance in the winter and control in the summer.

A great option all-year round
These factors can make settling on one ball confusing, so here are our thoughts on why the Srixon AD333 could be your perfect option. Not only does its low compression core deliver faster ball speeds for medium and slower swingers for winter distance, but it also boasts a soft urethane SpinSkin coating that generates the high spin you need on firm summer greens.

An absolute breeze

We stock several different styles of spikeless golf shoe here in-store, which can make the ideal summer companion. If you’re considering a pair then here are a few options that we’d recommend coming to try on for size.

Why go for spikeless?
Spikeless golf shoes are designed to make walking the course a breeze, offering lightweight comfort, stability with plenty of cushioning and versatile nub-style outsoles that are both kinder to the greens and ideal for wear indoors and when driving to the club.

Take these two options from FootJoy, for example. Both offer all the benefits we mentioned above, but the Pro/SL (first above) will suit those of you after a little more stability, while the ARC SL (second above) offers a sporty look with extra cushioning.

Cleveland RTX or CBX?

Cleveland's wedge line-up is among the best in golf, catering for golfers of all playing abilities.

For the more accomplished player, there's the RTX-3 wedge, which is a bladed option available in three finishes and various loft and bounce options.

But a bladed wedge isn't for everyone, and that's why Cleveland has brought the CBX to market, a cavity back wedge that offers forgiveness and versatility.
