Rob Jackson Memorial Pairs

A big congratulations to Club Captain Stuart Stirling and his partner Lewis Hearn from March Golf Club. Stuart and Lewis scored 44pts to win a years FREE membership in Sunday's Rob Jackson Memorial Pairs. This is always a popular event and this year’s event saw a record entry, a big thank you to our Greenkeeper Steve and his team for getting this event on with the ridiculous amount of rainfall we experienced last week.

Pat Reidy & D Cooper on 43pts were runners up with Paul Harford & W Porter on 41pts just piping Mick Dilorio & D O'Fee on count back. Hopefully we have seen the back of the wet weather with the forecast to warm up this week, it will be nice to see some golfers again.

Right now we're offering you £25 when you trade-in your old battery against a new Lithium one - a fantastic opportunity to save yourself some money.

Skechers 2018 GO golf shoes

The Skechers 2018 range of both men's and ladies shoes are now in stock. Skechers are a very big company in the shoe market and are relatively new to golf, but over the last few years we have found them to be very popular with their exceptional comfort and fit. We have expanded the styles we stock and there is a great choice of traditional spiked shoes, spike less and some very funky designs, so why not come and try a pair on? I am very confident you will be impressed with the comfort and fit that they offer.

A change in distance

The changes to the Rules of Golf are fast approaching with 2019 now less than nine months away, so we thought we’d take a closer look at one common rule that’s getting a makeover.

Change of procedure when taking relief
Currently, you must drop your ball within two club-lengths from the nearest point of relief when taking a penalty drop.

Under the new rule (17.1c), from 2019 you’ll need to use the longest club in your bag (other than a putter) to measure one club-length or two club-lengths depending on the situation.

The other alteration comes when dropping the golf ball. At present, you must drop your ball from shoulder height when taking relief, but this will change to knee height from 2019.

Let us know your thoughts by getting in touch below.

Are you a V or X?

When it comes to golf balls, there are two questions we hear on an almost daily basis, both concerning Titleist’s Pro V1 and Pro V1x. So we thought we’d take this opportunity to let you all know the answers...

What’s the difference between V and X?
Both of the Pro V1 balls are designed to provide long and short game performance, but there are subtle differences from tee-to-green.

While both feel soft, the Pro V1 is a little softer and has a penetrating flight that delivers more roll from the tee, whereas the Pro V1x feels firmer and flies higher.

Which one should I play?
If it’s a straight shootout between the Pro V1 and Pro V1x, then you’re going to benefit from distance, control and feel either way.

Both models are used on tour by players such as Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas, but it really comes down to your personal feel preference and which characteristics suit your game, which we can discuss during a ball fitting.
