Well, we're now running a brilliant offer with our friends at Motocaddy, which will see you get up to £60 back in cash (minimum return is £50) when you trade-in your old electric trolley whilst purchasing a new Motocaddy electric trolley in-store. |

A day at Sunningdale… Last Tuesday, I took Craig Kimber for 18 holes on the Old Course at Sunningdale as his first prize from the Professional’s Xmas Draw with his invited guests, Greg Mackay and Ian. Teeing off at 8.20am we had the course to ourselves, and with good weather and the course in great condition, it was golfing heaven. Greg and Ian dovetailed brilliantly to beat Craig and myself 2&1 and win the beers.

If you’re an equipment junkie, there’s nothing quite like standing on the first tee clutching the latest driver – especially, with the marketing promise of faster ball speeds and greater distance firmly in your mind. The question is, should this be your number one priority with the big stick in hand? |
With the US Open taking place at Pebble Beach this week, one thing the world’s best will need in abundance is accuracy off the tee. Penal rough, fairway bunkers aplenty and the Pacific Ocean combine to create one of the hardest tests in golf. |
Introducing TaylorMade's M5/M6 drivers Two drivers that will be in lots of golfers' bags this week are these beauties from TaylorMade. As well as the impressive ball speeds and distance gains from its Speed Injection, there are two features on the M5 that will help tighten up your dispersion. First, Twist Face helps reduce any 'gear effect' that comes as a result of an off-centre strike. Combine this with the moveable weights in the M5's T-Track and we can set up your driver to fight any regular misses you might have. So, what are you waiting for? Come and have a chat to us in the shop and we can start you on your journey to better golf this summer. |
