Hello Golfers,

We hope you're well.

Well, Mrs Sturgeon has not really given me much hope for when I might be able to get the Pro shop open yet. She obviously feels the 1 in and 1 out of the Pro Shop is much more dangerous than the 1000's of punters hitting the Range and Tesco daily.

There is lots of new product landing but nowhere to show it other than social media. Please get in touch with me about any of the new products you may fancy. By the looks of it, it might be a while yet until you can take a closer look, we are still here to help in any way we can so please don't hesitate to get in touch.

I practiced and played a little bit on Tuesday and I was astonished by how green and lush the course looked. The fairways were nice and dry also. Remarkable with the awful weather we have had. The nights are stretching out a bit also, it's light till about 5.30 pm now. Soon be able to get a game after work for those who are lucky enough to be there.

I have a couple of lessons lined up tomorrow, this is the time to start getting ready for the season, take advantage of my 5 lessons for the price of 4 offer. Again get in touch if I can help there.

Looking forward to hopefully seeing you all soon. Enjoy the read.

Happy Gilmore Turns 25

Well for me it is the greatest golf movie of all time, hard to believe it's been on the go for 25 years. Certainly makes me feel old. I am sure we have all had a "happy" swing at it, some even with the putter. What is your favourite part of the movie? As a coach its's got to be Chubs line "it's all in the hips". If only it was that easy.

Happy Gilmore has a message for Shooter McGavin and vice versa. They are attached below. Very good and worth a look if you have not seen it.

To go along with this, the PGA Tour on Twitter released a video to celebrate the occasion showing some of the world's best golfers try to recreate the famous Gilmore swing.

Berger's victorious eagle | Spieth's comeback continues

Daniel Berger emerged victorious on Valentine's Day after a grandstand finish worthy of a champion. Having double-bogeyed the 18th hole to complete his third round, the young American had a change of fortunes come Sunday as his stunning eagle left him two shots clear of the rest of the field at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

However, the story of the week arguably came a few spots further down the leaderboard as Jordan Spieth competed down the stretch for the second consecutive week. It might not sound like a big story given the phenomenal start to Spieth's career, but the American has been battling with his game for a few years now in a stretch that saw him fall to 92nd in the World Rankings. Could this be the start of a resurgence for Spieth? The signs are certainly there!

Distance Measuring Devices allowed on Tour

In other news, distance-measuring devices (laser rangefinders) will be permitted at the men’s, women’s & seniors’ PGA Championships this year. Whilst this has caused some debate amongst golfers and experts alike, it’s a reminder of just how incredibly useful they can be out on the course, saving time and shots.

If you're still pacing out your yardages from the 150-yard marker, maybe it's time to look at how these fantastic bits of technology could help your game? Send us a message below if you'd like to explore this further.

The value of mid-layers

I’m sure we’re all pretty thankful to be moving towards spring - which means the Masters isn’t too far away (again!) - but we’re not clear of the winter weather just yet. Some days the waterproofs might be needed, whilst other days they can be left at home. So, what’s the solution?

adidas autumn/winter 2020 collection

Well, fortunately, some bright spark came up with the idea of a mid-layer. Giving you plenty of warmth and protection from the elements, mid-layers can come in handy both under a jacket in harsh weather or as your outermost layer on the milder days.

Xander Shauffele - adidas athlete

Adidas has some great examples, like the insulated, double-layer Cold.RDY jacket, which is also available as a vest. Whatever the weather decides to do, you’ll have the right tools for the job every time with this in the bag.

Time to upgrade?

With new products being released each year, it’s hard to know where to look when it comes to upgrading your set. Heck, it’s not too easy for us either! But, together, during a custom fitting, we can discover what the perfect model(s) is for your game; making your investment even more worthwhile.

Cobra Radspeed Irons

On that note, it just so happens that Cobra’s brand-new Radspeed irons are available through us. This is a huge leap in performance engineering by Cobra, and we’re huge fans of the latest innovations.

The radial weighting optimises speed and forgiveness through extreme heel & toe weights, delivering stability and ultra-low spin. To top it all off, a 3D-printed medallion on the back of the clubhead dampens vibrations for an utterly sublime feel!

They’re also available in ONE Length, where all irons are produced to 7-iron length for a more repeatable swing. If you struggle with consistency, this could be a game-changer for you.

This is something we can help you with during a fitting experience. So, if you want to get yourself booked in for when we're back open, send us a message and we'll get back to you.
