Important news

Our new era has begun

Last week you received an email from us asking for your help. It wasn’t anything too onerous or time-consuming; simply sparing 20 seconds of your time to complete your golfing profile.

The reason we’re asking you to do this is so that we can start sending you personalised content that is more relevant to your golfing needs. For example, if you’re a lady golfer with a handicap of 28 then the weekly emails you receive will include ladies product that will be suited to your playing ability. Likewise, if you’re a gentleman off 12, we will begin sending you content that will help you to get your handicap down to the holy grail of single-figure digits.

Thank you to everyone who has already completed their profile and for those of you who haven’t been able to as of yet, please try and do so in the near future.

Tuesday Tips Sessions

The Tuesday Tips Session was well supported again this week. Remember its only £7 per person including range balls 7:00pm - 8:00pm. These sessions will be continuing into April with a move towards more short game and awkward lie sessions based on the golf course.

If you are interested please text Charlie on 07557799030 or click here to send us an email. Tune-up Tuesdays was successful once with our ladies splitting into two groups:

Group One - Drive for show.
Group Two - Putt for dough.

Both groups were excellent this week and we are really enjoying seeing you all progress coming into the new season. Next week we will be focusing on putting, bunker shots and pitching.

We look forward to seeing you all again for another session.

Leather or synthetic?

From rain and thermal options to tour-favoured leather and more budget-friendly synthetic, there are lots of gloves for you to consider, which is why we’re here to lend a helping hand.

Tour favourite
Why do tour players choose leather? Well, leather gloves offer the best feel with the traction you need to generate power. It’s also moisture resistant so will stay soft for longer.

One glove that fits the bill perfectly is the Mizuno Pro Golf, which is worn on tour by Luke Donald. It’s made from premium cabretta leather for responsive feel with great grip, while its FlexMesh across the knuckles aids comfort and flexibility.

Great value
Synthetic materials are stretchy and lightweight, so suit a golf glove perfectly. They’re often used alongside leather palm sections to enhance flexibility, while they should also be more durable than leather models at the cost of a little less feel.

Why not come and try the Mizuno Comp Golf glove? It’s designed to offer durable traction with feel, with the latter enhanced by leather palm and thumb sections.

New season, new bag

We all look to freshen up our kit when the new season rolls around, but what about the one piece of equipment that houses everything? If you’ve been ignoring broken zips, worn dividers or tatty material, one of these bags could be the upgrade you need...

Mizuno’s range of bags offers something for everyone. If you prefer fuss free-carrying, this stylish Pro stand bag offers six different pockets and a practical four-way top to keep your clubs organised. If you like to take the strain off with a trolley, this colourful Pro cart bag has a 14-way top with an integrated putter well. It also boasts nine spacious pockets for all your gear and large grab handles for easy transportation.
