Competition news

Club Championships

The big week is fast approaching and this year we have changed the format for the finals. This year the finals will be held on Saturday the 15th of June and the club are having a BBQ and drinks reception after the finals finish, giving the event more of the party atmosphere it deserves.

More details about booking in for the BBQ will come out from the Laura next week, but it should definitely be a date for your diary. It is great when as many people as possible come out to support the finalists.

We look forward to seeing you on the day!

Short game demonstration…

Jonnie is doing a short game demonstration next Thursday 6th June from 6.30pm on the 1st Hole. This is a FREE demonstration, highlighting some key shots and techniques to help your game around the green, hopefully saving you valuable shots! Please feel free to come along, we will head up to the 1st green at 6.30pm for about 45 minutes where I will show you some of the shots I use around the greens. This will be very informal and lots of fun, I hope you can make it.

1 gap, 3 options

The term 'gapping' is commonly used to refer to the yardage distance between each of the wedges in your bag. We want to break this thought process and get you to think about gapping for your entire set, because any unequal gaps between clubs will have a detrimental impact on your game.

Gapping at the top end

One part of your set that needs careful consideration is how you transition from your irons into your woods. Lots of golfers struggle to hit their longer irons and instead opt for a replacement hybrid or driving iron, which can lead to large gaps between clubs if you're not careful.

So, what's the solution? Well, take advantage of our services and professional advice, and we'll make sure you have the perfect club/s to fill any gaps at the top end of your bag.

What are your options?

TaylorMade recognised the problem that many golfers have in this area and brought GAPR to market to help them fix it.

There is a GAPR Hi option, which is most like a hybrid in shape and offers extreme distance with a high trajectory.

This is followed by GAPR Mid, which is somewhere between a hybrid and a long iron. It offers a slightly lower trajectory than the Hi and is perfect for hitting off tees or off the deck.

Finally, the GAPR Lo is for the better ball strikers as its smaller profile provides excellent shot-shaping and workability from a penetrating trajectory.

Get your kicks on this summer

Now that the better weather is upon us, it's time to pack those waterproof shoes away in the garage and step onto the course in a stylish new pair of breathable kicks for the summer months ahead.

Why not try Under Armour's Showdown SL Sunbrella?

No one wants to take their shoes off after a round to reveal a less-than-desirable whiff.

Fortunately, that is no longer a concern thanks to this shoe from Under Armour, which comes with a water-resistant upper and a breathable memberane for all-round comfort.

However, that is not even the best bit!

There's no sacrifice when it comes to traction with this spikeless offering either, but you do gain the versatility of being able to wear it both on or off the course.

So, what better way to prepare for the warmer months than by coming down to the pro shop and trying on a pair of these Under Armour shoes before you head out for your next round?
