I am sure we are all hoping for some better weather as the season gets underway, please remember it is the Captain's Drive this Sunday 1st, please contact Steve Brand or Richie Lloyd if you would like to play, I am sure there are few spots due to it being rearranged and the fact that a number of members are now away on the Turkey trip.

FREE Grip Fitting Are your grips the correct size for your hands, everyone has different size hands, different length fingers and so on, so it makes sense that one grip size won't fit everyone. Maybe you need a few more layers of tape underneath the grip (to make it thicker) because you've got bigger hands? Having the correct sized grip and the right type of grip (tacky, chorded and so on) is important if you want to play your best golf. In conjunction with Golf Pride we are offering a Free size fitting and a FREE Align Grip on your 7 Iron to test out. Click here and get in touch if you are interested and would like to know more. |

Last week we revealed a remarkable statistic regarding the number of golfers playing grips that are over a year old, but what impact does that actually have on your game? Well, we decided to do some digging... |
| Tension whilst gripping | Grips are made from rubber and are prone to wear and tear, just like the tyres on your car. When they become worn, your grips will lose tackiness and your hands will start to slip during the swing, resulting in poorer shots.
The thing is, you’ll likely overcompensate by holding on to your clubs too tight, creating more tension and stiffness during the swing.
|
| Limited time offer in-store now | We know it sounds all doom and gloom, but it does make a huge difference to your game. That's why we're running this promotion at Thorney Golf Centre, so you can experience the benefits of a new grip first hand.
There’s no catch, just pop by the shop before your next round to take advantage. |
