Special offer - Cleveland RTX-3 Tour satin wedges - NOW ONLY £75 each!

This has been our best-selling wedge but with the introduction of the new Cleveland RTX-4 wedge we have a small number of wedges left, so why not grab a bargain on this great wedge.

New PING i210 and i500 irons

PING have released two new models this week, the i210 replaces the i200 iron and has a larger and softer elastomer insert which activates at impact for improved feel on the i200, the long irons are larger and offer improved forgiveness while the shorter irons are slightly smaller for feel and consistency. The i500 iron is a complete new category and is aimed at the golfer that likes the look of a blade behind the ball but still needs distance and forgiveness, they are constructed in a similar way to metal woods and have a hollow construction, both models are well worth a try and we have demos available for both in our custom fitting section.

Motocaddy FREE 18 hole trial!

Why not try an electric trolley for FREE next time you play? From GPS distances to downhill control, Motocaddy's range of electric trolleys has never been as technologically advanced as right now, you can choose from basic features all the way through to multi functions.

The new M-Series compact folding electric trolley is now in stock, this is a great looking and very innovative trolley which folds up with an 11% smaller footprint than the previous model, the new folding system is also a very simple two step operation and the wheels can be inverted to save even more space, making it very "car boot friendly" It is available in M1, M3 Pro and M5 Connect versions and please remember all the Lithium Batteries now have a full 5 year warranty.

RTX 4 now in-store

It feels like we've waited a while, but the eagerly anticipated landing of Cleveland's incredible RTX 4 wedge is finally here. Cleveland has been at the forefront of wedge design for many years and has used feedback from its tour players to make the RTX 4 wedge its best yet. It provides more spin than ever before, is more versatile than previous generations and has never felt so good off the face.

Pressure putts

With the Ryder Cup coming up next week, we can expect plenty of tense moments, particularly on the greens. You’ll probably notice that players on both sides will have the ability to hole out under huge amounts of pressure – who can forget Ian Poulter’s clutch putt on the 16th green at Medinah in 2012?

Find a putter you can trust
To replicate these kind of putts, whether that's in the monthly medal or playing for money with your friends, you need to choose a flatstick you can trust.

Why not try out the PING Vault 2.0 Dale Stealth putter?

It's a conventional shaped putter so will suit those of you looking for a classic option, and is also available in both Platinum and Copper finishes. If you have a slightly arced stroke, then we couldn't recommend this putter enough.

A, V or X?

Choosing the right golf ball for your game is crucial to getting the most out of your time spent on the course. Luckily, Titleist has covered all bases and can provide you with a range of premium golf balls - Pro V1, Pro V1x and the brand new AVX – of which one will be best suited to your game.

The AVX is perfect for golfers who prioritise distance and extremely soft feel with a piercing, low ball flight, and has been engineered to be the lowest spinning and softest feeling golf ball out of these three models.

The Pro V1 is designed to provide total performance for every player and deliver consistency on every shot. It is softer than the Pro V1x and has a penetrating ball flight that sits between the other two models on show.

The Pro V1x gives you the highest launch of these three balls, resulting in extraordinary distance from the tee. As with the Pro V1, this ball features Titleist's renowned Drop-and-Stop greenside control.
