All you have to do is book a no obligation trial of the club's against your own equipment and we will use the launch monitor to show you what performs best.
Either click below to book an appointment in the Swing Studio or pop in this weekend and take a look at the new technology.

Matthew Heather enjoyed testing all the latest irons and hybrids at their launch day. I tried them all and if you want a new iron that looks great and performs brilliantly try the new AP3.

In need of a re-spike?

When was the last time you checked the condition of your spikes? At this time of year it’s more important than ever to have good traction when you take to the course. It’s not just for during your swing either, but also when you’re walking up and down slopes as well as to and from raised tees. If you need new spikes then we’re now offering ½ price spikes in the shop, and we’ll fit them for free, too!

Pro's news

Captain & Pro

Last Sunday the Captain and Pro peaked with a 6&5 win over Ian Edwards and Brian Morris. We were level par as we shook hands but Ian and Brian battled back well to finish 5 down.

Last Friday we played a Captain Pro challenge against Paul Mayne (hcp 6) and Dominic Ellis hcp 9 ( who is Keith's son). They played very well but we battled to reduce the loss to one hole at the end to save some pride. Well done Paul and Dom!

On Sunday we play Grant Leonard and Nick Taylor with our final match next Thursday against Mike Coulson and Jon Yates to see if anyone can overturn Craig Kimber and Mark Randall in the Race to Hayling.

Ladies
 
Well done to Jan Gilkes who won the weekend Stableford with 38 points. Second was Kathryn Mckimme and third Ann Passmore.

Last Wednesday Helen Atkinson & Jane Kimber won the Daily Mail Foursomes with an amazing 39 points. 2nd were Anne Mills & Ann Passmore 32pts and third Hilary Ashton & Elaine Watts 31pts.


Ferney Cup

Well done to Sam Barkham and Michael Fleming. They had a fantastic 36 hole final battling for the Ferney Cup. They were all square playing the last. Sam made 5 after visiting the first fairway and Michael's third shot from short of the cross bunkers finished just right of the green. He chipped up to 6 feet and his curling putt to take it into extra holes just slid by.

 

Scratch Matchplay

In the Club Scratch Matchplay Championship 36 hole final, Callum Denham and Gerry Kennedy played from the back blocks. With no run on the fairways and it playing really long, Gerry said he was out powered as Callum was smashing it miles off the tee. They shook hands on the 11th in the afternoon for a very impressive win for Callum.

Consider your options

Carrying your clubs for 18 holes will contribute to fatigue, making it more difficult for you to play your best all the way round. Luckily for you there are plenty of alternative options if you want to make a change, such as this innovative push trolley from Motocaddy.

Motocaddy P360

What will a trolley give you?

A recent R&A experiment saw tracking devices handed out to players. The course was under 4 miles on the card, but the shortest distance walked was a huge 5.7 miles, the average was 6.6 and the longest a whopping 7.8 miles. With these kind of stats it’s easy to see how a player carrying a full bag at around 12kg on their shoulders, back and knees will fatigue much quicker than a player who is protecting their body and saving energy by using a trolley.


Consider a push trolley

Compared to electric trolleys, push models are also lighter, cheaper and require no mid-week charging. A model like this Motocaddy P360 also boasts a fully-rotating front wheel for easy steering wherever your ball ends up and a functional storage console to house all your valuables and playing accessories.

1 minute to the next...

Golf really does ask different questions from one shot to the next, both of your swing and of your equipment. One minute you might require immense feel and touch to coax a long putt down to the hole, whereas the next you’re smashing a drive to unlock a tough par 5. But what is the one constant between the two?

Putting
Driving

From delivering soft feel to aid consistency on the greens, to catapulting fast off the face and using its dimples to pierce through the wind off the tee, your ball is the one thing you use on every shot and in all conditions.

This TaylorMade TP5 ball has been designed to cover all bases so you don’t have to compromise. Its three-layer core system gets progressively firmer in compression to enable maximum energy transfer and faster speeds for distance on full shots, but its soft cast urethane cover is still ideal for putting feel and feedback.

Each ball we sell offers something a little bit different, so do drop by if you’d like to find out more and test a few models.
