Congratulations to everyone that braved the horrible conditions in Saturday's Captains Choice competition, the Captain Steve Brand obviously chose a format to suit himself! as his team of himself, Nigel Clare and Paul Chiverton came out on top with 270 pts. Hopefully the weather will be better for this weekend's Lakes Cup, please give the shop a call if you would like to play, it is a book your own tee times event. 

A big well done to Mike Walton and everyone involved in the Senior's Charity Day with the prizes being sponsored by Terry Hawkins of Fenland Fire, the amount raised on the day for the Broad Appeal will be in excess of £950 which is a fantastic effort, the only slight downside to the day for Mike was the fact he filled his Diesel car with Petrol on the way to the course in the morning, resulting in it having to be collected on a low loader and a hefty repair bill, I am sure he will not get any ribbing about that! 


 

The Ryder Cup is only a couple of weeks away now and Davis Love III has announced three of his four picks, with Matt Kuchar, JB Holmes and Rickie Fowler being added to the team with one further pick to come when the Fed Ex is finished. 

In other new TIGER is on the way back, Tiger Woods has announced that he hopes to play three tournaments before the end of the year starting at the Safeway Open 13th October.




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.

COBRA GOLF - COMING SOON 

I am excited to announce that we will be stocking Cobra Golf Clubs from the end of September, myself and Nick have been testing this range over the last few weeks and we believe Cobra offers a great choice of excellent performing products to suit a very broad cross section of golfers. We strongly believe in making sure that all products are well fitted to your exact requirements so we will have a full range of Demo equipment available from launch date. 

NEW Cleveland RTX-3 Wedges 

The new Cleveland RTX-3 Wedge Fitting Cart has now arrived in the Pro Shop, so we have a range of Demos available from 48 Degrees thorough to 60 Degrees with various grinds to suit your particular requirements for bounce. This all new wedge has a range of new features to improve on what was already an excellent wedge. Cleveland have shortened the hosel which has enabled more weight to be moved towards the toe of the club making for a more centred CG, which will offer more head stability on off centre hits, tighten dispersion and help distance control, the variety of grinds available allows us to tailor your wedges to your particular swing characteristics depending on whether you have shallow angle of attack or are a bit steeper, the already fantastic Rotex face on the previous model has been improved again offering even more spin through deeper narrower U shape grooves, micro laser milling which roughens the face to the maximum conforming limit. A new set of correctly fitted and gapped wedges can make an amazing difference to your short game, so why not book a fitting or give one a try?

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!
