Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another edition of our newsletter. In this week’s mail, we look ahead to the Captain’s Choice competition, we have the results from the recent Midweek Medal, there is an improvement to the Srixon AD333 golf ball, and we need 5 minutes of your time. Enjoy the read!

Competition news

Captain's Choice this weekend, you decide!

It is Richie Lloyd's Captains Choice this Sunday with a very novel Stableford, you will receive your full handicap as normal, but you then nominate when and how many shots of your handicap you are going to use before the start of each hole until you have used them all and then you play off scratch. It will be very interesting to see how everybody decides to use their shots. If you would like to play then please give the Pro Shop a call to book in, also remember it is the Lakes Cup on Saturday which can be booked in the same way.

Shop news

They've done it again...

When a product has been the centre of a range for over a decade you know it must be pretty special, right? We certainly think so and it can be said of the Srixon AD333 golf ball, which is now into its ninth generation.

How does it differ? Well, it feels amazingly soft, provides even more distance and imparts a lot of spin when around the green. It's definitely worth a go, even if we do say so ourselves.

Battle of the irons

Before we pit these two beauties against one another, have a think about how good your bad shots are? It's a bit of an oxymoron, but are they disastrous and leading to big scores or are they less penal and still go somewhere around the green?

Red corner - PING G410 irons

If your bad shots really are bad then it's definitely worth looking at a game-improvement iron, like the G410 from PING. They've managed to optimise the weighting in the toe and hosel to increase forgiveness across the face, with the addition of COR-Eye technology powering ball speeds for impressive distance.

Blue corner - PING Blueprint irons

Those of you who tend to strike the ball well the majority of the time should consider these Blueprint irons. It's a player's iron with a cleaner look next to the ball, and allows the better player to shape and flight the ball in whichever way they want. Both of these irons are available to try in your local pro shop today!

Video of the Week

We are often left amazed at some of the shots that the world's best golfers manage to pull off, but sometimes the stars aren't aligned and things can go wrong. Enjoy this week's video as we take a look back at some of the unluckiest shots ever seen on the European Tour.
