Hello golfers, 

It is only a couple of weeks now until the Masters, pretty much the top 64 golfers in the world did battle for the Dell WGC World Matchplay, Jason Day went to world number one by beating Louis Oosthuizen in the final, with Rafa Cabrera Bello finished third after beating Rory McIIroy, there was some great golf and some nervy games, the Austin Country Club has some great matchplay holes with lots of risk and reward shots into greens and off the tee, it made for good viewng. All focus I am sure will now turn to Augusta though and I for one am really looking forward to watching, there are so many of the top golfers in good form plus Augusta can always throw up a surprise winner.

Winter League

Congratulations to Ash Anthony and Sean Buckle on winning the Winter League, Ash & Sean edged a very close game against Paul Day & Ian Weller on Saturday winning by one hole. 

Easter Weekend Golf

It was a pity the weekend weather wasn't like Friday, we had an excellent entry in Friday's Stableford in lovely Spring conditions, unfortunately the rest of the Bank Holiday weekend was not quite so nice, culminating on Monday with rain and gale force winds meaning that the pairs Stableford was cancelled. 

Ben Clarke was the top scorer on Good Friday with 39 pts winning Division II from Dep Patel 37 pts and Pete Howard 35 pts. Chris Hides 37 pts secured Division I from Paul Harford and Darren Hunt both on 34 pts while Sean Briant 37 pts took Division III with Brain Florence and Dave McQuillen in third both on 35 pts. 

The Two's Sweep winners were Paul Chiverton, Darren Hunt, Chris Hides, Lee Watts, Sean Briant, Andrew Locke. 

Conditions were somewhat different for Saturday's Bogey Competition with nobody beating the course and the competition standard scratch rising to 74, Ady Bonnett and Alan Stokes produced the best score s of the day at 1 Down, both seeing their handicaps reduced. Jim Dudley 3 Down topped Division I from Pete Corley 4 Down and Luke Lawson 5 Down. Ady won Division II from Dep Patel 4 Down and Russ Harris 5 Down while Alan used his new custom fitted PING G irons to great effect to take Division III from Pete Roberts 3 Down and Ian Booty 4 Down. 

Jim Dudley
was the only person to secure the magic Two on Saturday.

Fitting day 

Wilson Staff C200 Irons - Demo Day - Wednesday 27th April 2pm-6pm 

WilsonWe now have the new Wilson C200 irons in stock, this range of irons has had some excellent reviews in the golfing press since launch, it has a FLX Face which utilizes power holes wrapped around the face of the iron, this increases the amount of time the ball has on the face to gather energy, then springs it off for maximum distance. 

If you are looking for more distance from your irons this could be the one for you. 
Click here to book you place on the demo day.


Shop news 

New PING G Range, Demo Clubs and Fitting Cart - Now In Store 

IronThe new G range has expanded on the success of the G30 in the Drivers, Fairways and Hybrids along with a couple of very interesting additions, a stretch 3 wood which will be aimed more at tee shots and a G Crossover iron which is between an iron and hybrid. 

The new iron has introduced the COR-Eye technology that has been successful in the G Max iron, it also has a very different look compared to the traditional dark gun metal PING finish.

DriverThe new G Driver has expanded on the aerodynamics of the G30, the turbulators have been refined and the new Vortec technology on the back of the club has reduced drag by 37% which will increase clubhead speed even further, with the introduction of the new Dragon Fly Crown which has strengthened the crown while saving weight which has been moved to re position the centre of gravity helping the MOI, basically giving more room for error across the face. 

The fairway woods also benefit from this weight saving on the crown, this will make the fairways even easier to get airborne and along with the new face construction will deliver higher ball speeds and launch angles. There is also an SF Tec version to go with the new stretch model. 

CrossoverThe Hybrids have also seen significant changes with the addition of turbulators and a thinner face to improve both club head and ball speeds. The Crossover club will offer the ball speed and launch of a Hybrid but with the control and spin of an iron and is a smaller profile than a hybrid but visually bigger than an iron. 

I think you will agree there are some very exciting advancements and new technolgies over G30 which in itself was an excellent performing range, exciting times.

Nike Fly Demo and Fitting Cart - Now in Store  

The new 2016 Nike Vapor Fly range is now in store, we have had some excellent feedback from this range so far from both Irons and Drivers. The Vapor Fly and Fly Pro Drivers have a reduced crown weight of 30% over the Vapor 2015 which has allowed the centre of gravity to be lowered promoting a higher launch with lower spin and higher moment of inertia giving more distance across a bigger area on the face, the face and compression channel have both been re engineered to help distance and performance on miss hits, these Drivers still come with the Covert Cavity Back design and Flex Loft for a wide variation of lofts and club face positions. 

We also have the Vapor Flex 440 available for Demo, this club is not available until March and is the Driver I have been fitted for and will be playing this season, this striking looking club has 60% of its body made from RZN allowing the weight saved to be moved forward and low to offer even more performance all over the face, it also has the Hyperflight Face and new Compression Channel as both the Fly and Fly Pro models. We have a wide variation of shafts and would highly recommend that you arrange a Fitting to get the best out of these clubs. Click here to book yours.

There are also two new Irons to add to the very popular Vapor Pro Blade and Vapor Pro Combo irons that have carried over from last year, Vapor Fly Pro and Vapor Fly. The Fly Pro iron is aimed at the golfer who likes the slimmer look of the Blade or Pro Combo but needs a little more forgiveness, the longer irons 2,3,4,5 have a hollow cavity for high performance on off centre hits, the 6,7,8 have RZN pocket to combine stability with refined feel while the 9,P,A have a RZN cavity to allow more workability. The Vapor Fly offers maximum forgiveness and distance, the modern muscle design balances the CG in the centre of the face for the highest stability and maximum power, the RZN enhanced construction pushes the weight lower for a higher ball flight, these irons really are very user friendly and really do go. 

If you are looking for more distance from your irons these are definitely worth a try, please click here to book a fitting or make an enquiry.
