Greetings from Mark Templeman

Yet another competition was played in tough conditions at the weekend, with a high and chilly wind to be dealt with. Terry and Chris Hawkins played with our PGA Head Assistant, Nick Burbridge, and adapted to the conditions the best, scoring 76 pts to take the Yellow Peril Trophy from Steve Cooper, Nigel Bryan & Steve Hurry who finished just behind on 74 pts. Steve Leonard, John Zajac & Andy Phillips 73 pts were third just ahead of Malc Wiles, Alan Buckby & Gary Kew on 72 pts. There was a host of qualifiers for the Two's Sweep Final, a special mention to Alan Buckby who got three 2's on the day, the other winners were Nick Burbridge, Chris Hawkins, Steve Leonard, Gav Heaton, Sean Buckle, Mick Hinch, Pete Rippon, Wayne Jupp & Andy Hunt.

Well done to the Scratch Teams on Saturday, both the A & B Teams got their seasons off to an excellent start. The A Team secured a 4.5-1.5 victory away at Belton Woods while the B Team won 5.5-0.5 at home to Tydd St Giles, let's keep the momentum up and have a great season.

New Cleveland 588 RTX 2.0 Wedges NOW IN STOCK

Cleveland Wedges were the top selling Wedge brand in 2014 and this new version promises even more spin and control, the grooves are now 15% sharper and the new micro milled Rotex face gives these wedges the most surface roughness allowed. Wedges come in Low, Standard and High Bounce, the right bounce for you're particular swing type is crucial, too high can cause thinned shots and too low fat shots. Along with needing the right loft to fit yardage gaps, the correct bounce plus the options of two different finishes and either blade or cavity back, being fitted for a wedge is very important. This year we have invested in a Cleveland Wedge fitting cart to enable us to tailor your wedges to youe own individual needs.

PING G30 LS Tec Driver- Now in Stock

The PING Driver has proved very popular since its launch and PING have now expanded the range to include a new lower spinning version the G30 LS Tec. This is aimed at higher swing speed golfers who may generate a little too much back spin and compliments the G30 SF Tec which encourages a draw flight as well as the standard G30 Driver. We have a full range of demos so if you would like to try one please ask in the Pro Shop or book a fitting next time you are at the club.

NEW PING Cadence TR Putters -Now in Stock

The new Cadence TR putter range utilizes different weight face inserts to fit golfers for their stroke tempo and feel preference. Traditional weight inserts (blue in colour) typically fit mid-to-faster tempos and can improve lag putting and the Heavy Inserts (black) match slower strokes and can make for better short putting, both inserts have the next generation True-Roll technology which helps with off centre hits to give a consistent ball speed.

Nike Vapor Range - now in stock

This range of clubs will continue on from the success of Covert over the last couple of years, Covert especially with the Driver has seen excellent growth since it was released, but having been lucky enough to test the whole new Vapor range at Nike's Performance Centre at Archerfield GC at the release event last September, this range will move the bar even higher.

There are three different Drivers; Vapor Speed, Vapor Flex and Vapor Pro - which was the Driver Rory McIIroy put straight into play to great effect at the Ryder Cup. All of these Drivers continue with the Covert Cavity Back design but with the addition of FlyBeam and a Compression Channel to enhance the NexCOR face, this gives an even more stable and forgiving club but generates even more ball speed, they all have FlexLoft so can be fine tuned to your exact launch conditions.

There are also two different ranges of Fairways and Hybrids, Vapor Flex which has adjustable loft and Vapor Speed which is fixed. There is also three new irons; 1. Vapor Pro which has major design input from Tiger, this is modern muscle design and the blade replacement. I must say though that it is the most user friendly blade I have ever used, so much so that I will be playing this club while in the past I have always played the Pro Combo. 2. Vapor Pro Combo is a combination of Precision and Power offering a great looking precision club with some forgiveness and then there is 3. the Vapor Speed iron which is all about Power and Distance, this is really a phenomenal golf club, it is very easy to use and just flies.

With all golf clubs it essential to be fitted for your launch conditions and individual swing characteristics, this range is no different so I would definitely recommend that you book a fitting. I am very confident that I can find you extra distance and consistency within this range of clubs.

Nike Lunar Control III - now in stock!

Rory McIIroy had a major input to the design of this new shoe for 2015, by moving the spikes more to the outer edges and the addition of an extra spike these shoes are exceptionally stable to the ground, the shoe also has a wider base and is lower to the ground than the existing shoe creating a further feeling of stability, with the addition of a new carbon fiber mid foot shank, the shoe is very laterally strong, this lateral support is added to with the improved Flywire technology that wraps around your foot, the sole still has full length Lunarlon cushioning for responsive cushioning. It is amazing how much research and development goes into golf shoes as well as equipment.
