Junior news

Junior coaching

I’m pleased to say that we had another fantastic turn out for last weekend Junior Coaching. I’m pleased to say that our turn out of children on Saturdays is now regularly hitting the 20s in numbers, really pleased our hard work is paying off. This Saturday, we have the last Junior Coaching sessions in this block but I will be releasing the new dates over the next week or so.

Pro's news

Adam's corner

It was a great week for me last weekend up at Minchinhampton when I shot level-par which was enough for me to qualify for The English PGA Championships which will be played at the end of July in a three-day event. Hopefully carrying on the form of last week as I head to Oake Manor today and tomorrow to play in a two-day event.

Lauren’s corner

I was back playing at East Devon this weekend, mind you, I shouldn’t have bothered! I had the worst two rounds I think I’ve ever had in my life…could not hit a barn door! Anyway, I’m putting that behind me as I have a busy few days in the shop. Adam and Matt are on their way to Oake Manor to play today so I’m on shop duties, in fact, I am in all weekend as we have The Medal and Rock Bowl on Sunday. So if you're around pop in for a chat.

Matt's corner

Today I head to Oake Manor in the Total Triumph Order of Merit Event. It’s an unusual format both amateurs and the professionals play in a medal. I’m really looking forward to playing with my Yelverton partner, Mike Halford. This event is played over two days so I’m hoping to play well enough today to make the cut for the second day. Wish me luck!

Rules corner

R&A Rules Academy

The R&A Rules Academy would be great for our members to get involved in…check it out!

The Rules Academy can be accessed via R&A > Rules > Rules Academy.

It is an online version of the Level 1 Introductory Rules School and provides an interesting and easy way to learn the basics of the Rules of Golf. You can try to gain an official R&A certificate by taking the online Level 1 Exam at the end of the course.

It helps you to understand the Rules, to test yourself and enjoy as you learn. Four revision sections are included to help you ensure you have understood the basics.

The Rules Academy covers the most commonly occurring Rules situations, culminating in the official R&A Level 1 Exam and receive an official R&A certificate when you pass.

To take the R&A Level 1 Exam you will need an account. If you have not already signed up for the Rules Academy, set up an account to get started.

Diagrams, illustrations and videos are included to help you learn the Rules of Golf.

Give it a go.

Time for a little reflection

Who doesn’t love the month of June? Long evenings, blistering sunshine (might be a little optimistic here) and plenty of opportunities to hit the course. With much of the season left to go and more competitions on the horizon, it’s time to take note of how you’ve been playing so far this year.

Scenario 1

Hopefully, you've been playing regularly to your handicap or, better still, shooting under it. If that’s the case then happy days, keep up the good work!

But we all know there’s room for improvement.

Perhaps you don’t use a particular club as often as you could simply out of a lack of confidence with it? Or maybe you’re struggling with a destructive shot that is impacting your scores?

Scenario 2

On the other hand, you might be struggling to put a good score together no matter what you try.

Some of you may be recalling a lesson you had from several years back or searching the web for a quick-fix only to be suffering further?

Whether you’re in need of lessons, new equipment or a confidence boost, make sure you utilise our professional advice and skill set by speaking to a member of the team in-store.

The results are in...

Early spring is a great time of year at the golf club as the course begins to take shape and the latest golf gear lands in your very own pro shop. Now that we’re fully stocked and more of you are venturing up the club on a weekly basis, we thought we'd treat you to our top three picks in the footwear department for 2019.

FootJoy UltraFIT Boa

A classic style mixes with next generation technology for a shoe that, quite simply, has the lot.

As its name suggests, the UltraFIT Boa is all about finding the perfect fit thanks to its Boa Lacing System, which pulls your foot towards the heel for ultimate stability on every shot.

FootJoy Pro S/L

The best-selling shoe in recent years? This awesome Pro/SL offering, of course.

Not only is it FootJoy's flagship shoe that is worn by a host of Tour players, but it is one of the best spikeless offerings we've ever had in-store.

FootJoy Fury

The Fury takes top spot when it comes to athletic styling, but there's a lot more than just looks.

Two densities of foam form the footbed which moulds to your feet over time, providing a custom fit that is supremely comfortable on long rounds.

Spotlight: PING's latest driver

The G410 range, which was released at the beginning of 2019, is seriously impressive and has resulted in some very happy golfers at the club.

Well, to sit alongside the G410 Plus and G410 SFT drivers, PING has just released the G410 LST, which stands for Low Spin Technology.

Which of these three drivers is best for you? Let's find out during a one-to-one custom fit session.

Video of the Week

Who deserves to be referred to as golf's G.O.A.T (Greatest Of All Time)? For many, it boils down to two individuals: Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus.

I hope you enjoyed our newsletter and if there is any help or advice you need please pop into the shop and we'll be delighted to help. Adam and the team.
