Competition news

A Medal fest...

Last weekend was a Medal fest with the first gents medal on Saturday and the Endeavour round 1 on Sunday. There was also a Medal competition and the ladies had their second medal of the season on Saturday. The course is playing long with all the wet weather and made for a difficult few days of medal play.

The Gents Medal 1 was won by Steve Bell with an excellent 65, he beat Adrian Barnes on a countback with Dean Barrett and Martin Sidall on 68.

The Ladies Medal 2 was won by Alison Stenson with an 80 and in joint second was Lady Captain Val Bellamy and Carole Kelly who both had 82.

Sunday was the Endeavour Trophy round 1, this competition is a Medal format to determine who qualifies for the matchplay stages later in the year. Two divisions 0-13 and 14-28 play strokeplay and the top four from each handicap band go through to play matchplay later in the season. There is an Endeavour round 2 in a few weeks played in the same format, so we end up with eight players from each category playing for the trophy.

Round one qualifiers were;

0-13 - Chris Masters-Tony Burgess-Richard Hodgson and Brian Baker.

14-28 - Travis Hodgson-Hugh Crawshaw-Martyn Bates and Paul Mallinder.

Fitting news

A great success...

The Wilson and Lynx demo days were a great success despite the shocking rain that we had for the Wilson day on Friday. We still managed to do seven fittings and five fittings with Lynx on Monday. We have more planned for July and August, so if you missed the early season ones look out for the posters in the summer.

Don’t forget though that we have our own launch monitor and demo irons and woods so you can have a fitting or try out some of the latest clubs anytime, just ask in shop and we can book you a slot.

adidas Tour360 BOOST 2.0

Follow in the footsteps of Sergio Garcia and Dustin Johnson and try this adidas Tour360 BOOST 2.0. We’re big fans of its premium, waterproof leather uppers, iconic arch support and springy BOOST cushioning that returns energy with every step you take.

adidas adicross classic

If you’d like to add off-course versatility to your shoe options so you can go straight from work to the course, this adidas adicross classic is a popular option. It boasts a water-repellent Climastorm leather upper and an Adiwear outsole for durability on the course and beyond.

It's 14 clubs for a reason

This week marks the start of a series of articles where we focus on making sure that you are getting the very most out of the clubs in your bag. A key way to do this is to look at your set as one, rather than breaking it down into woods, irons and wedges.

What does your set look like?
As you know, we’re big advocates of custom fitting for golfers of all standards. Many of you have taken advantage of this and are now hitting the ball further and straighter than you ever have before.

While this is fantastic, if you’re hitting your woods further you may have been left with a fiddly gap to your longest iron; likewise, if your new irons are a club longer then you will inevitably have a gap after your PW.

Look at your clubs as a whole
It’s only by looking at your set as a whole that you’ll be able to spot and react to any gaps, meaning you’ll have a club for every shot you could face on the course.

If you’re a fan of Wilson Staff like us, you’ll know they offer a great range of clubs to ensure you’re never stuck for options. Their D300 driver and fairway wood each offer powerful and forgiving flights, while its D300 hybrid comes in 17 degrees to 31 degrees so we can perfectly gap your long game.

Where are your gaps?
Wilson Staff also offers five iron models for you to try and their FG Tour PMP wedge comes in 11 lofts between 48-62 degrees so we can create the best set-up possible during a fitting or gapping session.

The myth that custom fitting is only for better golfers couldn't be further from the truth. Whilst the very best are looking for that extra 1%, a custom fitting for the average club golfer regularly produces results that even surprise us!
