Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another edition of our newsletter. This week we offer you a FREE equipment check, we focus on if you should be using fairway woods or hybrids, and I invite you to join me in a Pro-Am. Enjoy the read!

Would you like a FREE equipment check?

The countdown continues and we are already in single figures with only nine weeks until The Masters! To encourage you to think about getting yourself ready for the season, we are offering a FREE equipment check in February.

Just drop your clubs into the shop before the end of the month and we will give your clubs an MOT including the following:

Checking your lofts and lies
Checking the condition of the grips
Checking the thickness of the grips relative to your hand size and finger length
Cleaning the grooves for you (so that you can actually spin the ball)

Plus as an optional extra, with just 15 minutes in the swing studio we could tell you if your shafts are the right flex and weight for you

Just drop them into the shop after you’ve played or click here if you would also like to have a free check of your shaft flex too.

Hybrids, woods or irons...

As all the new Callaway and TaylorMade technology continues to roll into the shop, this week’s video explains the reasons why you might be more suited to either a hybrid or a lofted fairway wood to fill the yardage gaps between your 3 or 5 wood and your longest iron.

Click here to watch.

Slower Swing Speed = 7wood/ 9wood/ 11 wood to replace your 3/4/5 irons as the longer shafts give more club head speed and the increased loft gives more carry.
Medium Swing Speed = 7 wood to replace 3 iron and 4/5 hybrid to replace 4/5 iron.
High Swing Speed = 2/3 Hybrid to replace 2/3 iron or a 5/7 wood if higher ball flight is preferred.

Click here to come and compare hybrids against 7 and 9 woods in the Swing Studio or to take the demos on the course.

New shoes? Walk this way...

Golf is first and foremost a walking sport, with many of us strolling more than five miles in a pair of shoes every single round. You might read that fact and instantly recall getting off the 18th green wanting nothing more than a sit-down, feet aching, after realising your shoes aren’t as comfortable as they ought to be. Well, if that is the case, it might well be time for a change...

Just arrived - FootJoy Fury

Arguably FootJoy's most eye-catching shoe for 2019, the Fury has been designed by Rafa Cabrera-Bello and won't disappoint when it comes to style or performance.

You'll immediately notice the Fury's snug fit as soon as you put them on, with the added enjoyment of padding around the ankle. When it comes to performance, you can expect fantastic traction and stability making this the perfect all-round shoe for 2019.

How important is the white thing?

There are two constants on every shot you hit when you’re out on the course – you and your golf ball. That’s why it is so important to use a ball which suits your game, rather than using any old ball that you find in the trees or at the bottom of your bag.

Are you clubs custom fitted?

The majority of golfers have realised the benefits of getting custom fit when it comes to new clubs; so why not your ball, too? You'll be amazed at how much difference having a ball which suits your game can make to your scores - and handicap!

The 2019 TP5 ball from TaylorMade continues the five-layer construction from the previous model, whilst packing in more ball speed thanks to a new material in the fourth layer. What does more ball speed give you? More distance; and we'd all like a bit of that.

Play the right ball for your game

If you're looking for plenty of distance off the tee with lower spin and a soft feel, TaylorMade's Project (s) is the ball you need to try. Available at a lower price point than the TP5, this ball is going to offer you plenty of control around the greens too, plus a choice of colours!

If you’re not sure which ball you should be using then come and speak to a member of our team and we'll be happy to point you in the right direction.

Spotlight: TaylorMade M5/M6 drivers

Last year it was Twist Face; this year it's Injected Twist Face.

The concept of Twist Face is all about straight distance, helping to counteract your mishits so you have a better chance of finding the fairway off the tee.

TaylorMade has taken this one step further for 2019, injecting the club face so that each head is at the legal speed limit allowed, combining better accuracy with greater distance!
