Tiger is back on the European Tour this week playing in the Dubai Desert Classic, this is always a great event and with Tiger playing it is sure raise its profile even more. There was another interesting story last week, one of our ex members Mark Johnson has been running a campaign over the last two hundred plus days via Twitter, the aim was to be able to caddy for favorite golfer Sergio Garcia and his persistence has paid off, Sergio responded last week and Mark will be carrying his bag for one round in the British Masters at the end of the year, what a great story and I am sure it will be a great experience for Mark.

I mentioned last week that we now have the Cobra 2017 range in stock including the very interesting Cobra One Length Iron concept, another very exciting introduction by Cobra is the inclusion of Cobra Connect in the F7 Driver range, this links with your phone to track all your Driving data and will tell you how far and where you have hit every drive during your round, you can also compare your driving distance on each hole to other members. 

Those of you on Social Media will have seen how much coverage the new Nike Lunar Command 2 Golf Shoes has been getting, this shoe is amazingly comfortable and is a very reasonable £89.99, if you need a new pair of shoes you really need to try these.

New PING i200 Irons - Fitting Now Available 

We now have the new PING i200 Irons available for Custom Fit. This new iron is made for forgiveness but has very clean looks and offers workability, so is aimed at the golfer that likes the look of a thinner club but doesn't want to sacrifice the room for error of a full game improvement cavity back. They have an active elastomer back for feel and a thinner face to give a soft feel while offering a powerful flight and there is new weighting for the toe again to assist in off centre hits. Following on from the great looking iBlade these irons have a very similar finish, sole design and a ferule for a classic look. As with all PING clubs there is a big range of fitting options to fine tune your game. Please click here for more information or to book a fitting.
