Competition news

Pro Shop Stableford

Well, the Pro Shop Stableford was literally a wash out this weekend. The weather was horrendous, so it didn’t happen. We have had glorious weather so far this week; make sure you get out there and make the most of it this week.

Who's been winning what?

This week’s Midweek Stableford was won by Mr Lee Lawson with 41 points. Paul Selly came second with 39 points. Barry Searle came third with 37 points. Den Birrell was fourth with 36 points. Well Done chaps!

Roger Callicott won The Pounders Stableford with 40 points on countback. Second place went to A Warne. Colin Cornish was third with 39 points and in fourth place was Ian Ellicott.

Congratulations to Jim Stein who won The Merrivale Cup yesterday against Ian Scott. The match was taking down the 19th to decide but Jim emerged triumphant.

Promoting Yelverton Golf Club

Myself, Lauren, Colin and Sarah made our way to AG on Saturday to promote Yelverton Golf Club.

What a fantastic day we had down there. Lots of different ages and stages. We spoke to lots of people who had been practicing on the range at American Golf but they really wanted to start playing some more serious golf. We were there to scoop them up and head them in our direction. It was also a great opportunity to speak to some juniors who are being coached at American Golf but getting to a point where they want to get out there and play the game, so I’m hoping that we will be seeing a number of new faces here over the coming months!

Shop news

New ladies winter shoes!

We have just had a drop of the new ladies winter golf shoes. One of Laurens particular favourites is the FootJoy booties. I knew it would get expensive having Lauren work here.

Adam's news

This Sunday we host our second Golf Access session. If you know anyone who is looking to get into golf, Junior or senior, bring them along at 3pm.

There will be no junior coaching session this Saturday 29th or Saturday 6th October. I’m taking Lauren away to Italy for a week. We will be heading to Rome for the first few nights, then onto the Amalfi Coast before flying home next Saturday.

We now have the Blue Junior Cards in the Pro Shop, so it would be great whilst we are away if we can get a few our playing on the big course and see how it goes. Also, any juniors looking to improve their eclectic score on the short course will need to hurry. It will running till the end of October then the winner will be announced.

Lauren's corner

Ahhh, I’m super excited about going to Italy this week. I really wish I was one of these ladies that has everything organised but sadly, I’m last minute Annie. I still need to find my passport eekk, but I’m sure it will be in that very safe place that I leave things; just can’t quite remember where that is at the minute!

My parents are dog sitting my Bobby…all dog owners know the feeling of guilt leaving your fur baby as you head off to sun yourself for a week. Last time I left him, he was in a mood for 2 days (that’s the dog, not Adam…lol).

I was keen to take golf clubs on our trip but I don’t think Adam was too pleased about a busman’s holiday. Which made me think…I’ve never had a girlie golf holiday!?! So ladies, who would be up for it? I’ll be back in the shop week commencing Monday 8th October, so if you would be interested, pop in and see me and we can get a list going and potential dates/places…woohoo!

New irons to improve your game

Buying a set of clubs is exciting, but can be a tricky decision - you might love the look of the short irons, but feel a bit daunted by the longer clubs further up the set. However, you can always mix and match your clubs so that your long irons are more forgiving and your short irons are more workable, allowing you to strike approach shots from any distance with confidence.

Mix & match with PING

Why not try combining the long irons of PING's G700 series with the short irons of the G400? The G700 contains low and deep weighting, which gives you higher launch and more forgiveness - ideal for your long irons. Combine this with the G400, which has a hydropearl chrome finish to help maintain the launch and spin rates of your short irons in all conditions, and you'll be feeling confident through the whole bag.

Could mixing sets be the answer you've been looking for?

Layer up, autumn's here

Normally when you watch golf on TV, you see the world’s best showing off their golfer’s tan in their polos. When the Ryder Cup gets underway this week in Paris however, things will be a lot colder, and we’ll see golfers on both teams ditching the short sleeves and going for a golf-specific mid-layer to help them stay warm.

The middle man
One mid-layer that will guarantee you comfort and protection on the course is Under Armour’s Storm SF Snap Mock pullover. There’s no danger of getting wet thanks to its Storm technology, which repels water whilst also maintaining a good amount of breathability - two key performance benefits in the winter months.

Spotlight: Titleist TS drivers

The hugely exciting Titleist TS2 and TS3 drivers have been the cause of some phenomenal performance gains for club golfers and tour professionals alike.

Titleist say it's stripped the driver down to its vital essence before building it back up to be faster, longer and better in every way possible. Well, there's only one way to find out - come and see us for a thorough custom fitting and put the TS to the test.
