I am sure a lot of you will have heard that Nike will no longer be making Golf Clubs, Balls or Bags from the end of this season, this is has been a big shock especially as we have done very well with the Clubs over the last few years and the new range of Golf Balls are excellent. The clubs perform very well and market share in the UK in Europe has been growing but we are a small area in relation to America and the rest of the World. I must stress that good product doesn't become bad product overnight but inevitably it will be perceived differently,
I am sure there will be some price reductions, but custom fit will still be available also at a lower price and all warranties will still stand going forward.
I will certainly still be using all of my equipment, so it actually a great time to get some great performing equipment at a great price.
Nike's core business in every other sport is Shoes and Clothing and this will continue to be the case in Golf with some very exciting and innovative products coming for next year.
The A Team got a very credible draw at Home to table toppers Greetham Valley on Saturday, this result should be enough to secure our place in Division II after last year's promotion which is very good news. The B Team went down away to Toft Hotel GC but now have our last three games of the season at Home, so if we can get a couple of good results we should have a good chance of staying in the higher Division also.
Scratch Matchplay 1st Round to be played by 14th August

New PING iBLADE Irons
The new PING iBLADE is now available in store for Fitting/Trial, this new iron is the replacement for the S55 iron and I must say it is a fantastic looking golf club, if you are looking for a soft feeling golf club with the set up to shape the ball then this club is certainly worth a look, it will not be the most forgiving iron out there but it is not without forgiveness, it has tungsten weighting in the toe for higher moment of inertia and has a really thin face for greater ball speeds. I would say it is the best looking golf iron PING have ever made!
