Competition news

Who's been winning what?

Saturday’s Winter League was won by Mark Harrison with 36 points in awful conditions, John Richmond and Simon Potter were second on 35 points, and Paul Hanson and Adrian Barnes scored 33 points to be next in line. Snow, wind, rain and hail were some of the peril’s golfers had to deal with.

We are nearing the final few events of the Winter League now, and so, the order of merit top ten is where players want to be for the end of season prizes.

Steve Newton still heads the table on 61 points with Simon Potter in second on 55 points. Chris Goodchild on 43 points, and Paul Hutton and Andy Benson on 41 points all well in range with two good last rounds.

37 points is currently in the top ten, so anyone around 22 points has a real chance of making the grade with good last rounds. Winter League has a week rest this week for St Patrick’s Day before the final two events on the 23rd and 30th of March.

Out with the old, in with the new

Sometimes, you buy something new because there's a need; for example, your golf bag has broken zips or the stand no longer works. At other times, you upgrade what you already own because there's something new that you want, such as a new golf bag in-store that looks fantastic. Whatever your reason is, we're offering £20 OFF selected bags in-store when you trade-in your old one with us - no matter its condition!

Give a Garmin this Mother's Day

We'll start by letting you in on a little secret: Mother's Day is on the 31st March this year. This means you have around two weeks until the day comes around, so it's time to start thinking about a present if you haven't already. In the build up to the day, we're reducing the price of Garmin's Approach S10 by £20; so this sleek and lightweight Golf GPS watch is yours for only £119.99. There's a choice of colours and it lasts up to 12 hours in golf mode - what more could you ask for?

A stunning upgrade…

Motocaddy has always been at the forefront of trolley innovation, with the world's first GPS electric trolley amongst their ranks. Well, this year they’ve made some significant upgrades to the immensly popular S1 model, which we think you're going to love.

New Motocaddy S1 electric trolley (2019)

We don't like using the term 'entry level' to describe the new S1 as it offers so much more than what this suggests. At first glance, you'll take a liking to its modernised styling and graphics, which will really help make it stand out from other trolleys on the market. Then you get to its technology: new and improved sunlight-friendly LCD display, nine speed settings, advanced battery meter so you needn't worry about it running out mid-round without knowing, and a super-lightweight Lithium battery to name but a few.

The new S1 for 2019 is as good as it gets at this price point, so pop in-store to take a look and get one in your hands.

Listen up...

When was the last time you checked the wear-and-tear of the tyres on your car? Chances are more recently than the grips on your golf clubs. That’s understandable, but if you're looking to improve your golf game in 2019, the grips on your clubs play an equally vital role so shouldn't be overlooked.

David Leadbetter talks to Foremost TV about the importance of your grips

According to world renowned golf instructor David Leadbetter, you should be re-gripping your clubs ‘at least every year, but ideally after every 40 rounds of golf’. This is because UV light, dirt, and general use cause your grips to lose tackiness and traction, which results in an increase in grip tension, leading to reduced clubhead speed and distance.

So, what do you need to look for? - ‘If you see wear marks such as indentations or your grips look shiny, then they are past their due date’. Great advice from one of the most respected golf coaches in the world!

So, if this is raising warning signs for you then fear not, pop down to the club and we will put a FREE Golf Pride grip on your 7-iron so you can get a taster as to what a new grip offers.

Video of the Week

We don't envy the team who have to make the #1 ball in golf even better every two years, but that's exactly what they've done in the new Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls for 2019. Watch this review video to find out how they performed when put to the test.

We hope you enjoyed our newsletter. If you have any queries or questions please pop into the shop and feel free to ask. Regards Richard.
