Tour news

Solheim Cup

Congratulations to the European Solheim Cup Team, it doesn't get any closer than that, Suzanne Pettersen winning the Cup with the last putt on the last green.

What a great event and viewing it was throughout all three days, there was certainly ups and downs in the last day singles which always seems to create great drama in team events, well done to everybody involved.

They've done it again...

The Srixon AD333 has been a very successful golf ball offering great distance but without losing too much feel, this ninth-generation ball offers more spin, but without sacrificing distance with the introduction of the FastLayer first introduced in the Z-Star Series.

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.

Time for a little refresh?

If you're still wearing polos from years gone by that have threads hanging off and buttons missing then it's probably time you upgraded your wardrobe - wouldn't you agree?

We have a fantastic range of clothing available in-store, some of which has been discounted for your pleasure - and in peak season, too!

So, be sure to pop your head in next time you're down the club and bring that old shirt with you.

A brilliant upgrade

It's great walking to the first tee with a new driver in hand (that's been custom fitted to suit your swing, of course) that you know will help you outdrive your playing partners, but sometimes it can be a simple change to the ball that you're using that has the biggest effect on your game.

The all-new Srixon AD333 golf ball

The AD333 model has been around a long time – since 2003 to be exact – and with every updated release it continues to get better and better.

Well, you can now get your hands on the ninth-generation AD333 in-store, which has just been launched by Srixon, and once again it offers remarkable value for money.

We are pleasently surprised at its exceptional performance in all departments, especially when it comes to distance, spin and control.

There is plenty more to it too so why not put them into play today and see why the AD333 continues to be one of the most popular balls around? Pop into the shop to get yours!

A warmer option

As we begin the inevitable slide to Christmas (yes, I said it), it's time to ditch the shorts for some warmer layers. Fortunately, we have a range of mid-layers and jackets available through us that will keep you warm and dry whilst successfully battling the elements this winter.

Layer up with Under Armour

There used to be a time when 'layering' meant chucking on as many clothes as you possibly could in order to keep warm on a winter's day, which regularly resulted in problems when it came to swinging a club.

Luckily for us, today's golf clothing has come a long way in recent years. Not only will you be proud to wear outfits from Under Armour's collection above, but you'll need fewer layers and won't be restricted or overheat whilst playing either!
