Welcome to this week's newsletter in which recap the latest competition results, announce news of the improved practice bunker facility and bring you an unbeatable offer on Motocaddy.

Enjoy the read. 

Easier than you think...

The newly refurbished bunker on the practice ground is looking pretty good. A new lining and a fresh filling of sand has transformed this into a useable practice facility. And bunker shots are easy when you know how.

Did you know?

Many golf balls contain the word ‘soft’ on the packaging or in the name; this is because they have a soft or ‘low compression’ core, rather than a soft outer skin.

Today’s golf balls and the balls of 20 years ago look pretty much the same, but what’s going on inside them is very different. Modern golf balls are made using materials with different properties, giving better feel and responding better to being struck.

The result is more energy and improved all round performance.

The latest golf balls have larger, more responsive cores and thinner covers. This means yet more distance from what is already the most regulated and most improved piece of golf equipment in the last however many years.

Which wedge or wedges?

Buy any two new wedges and receive a FREE gapping session in the swing studio. You can have the gapping session before you select which wedges, because there are many to choose from and you can use the gapping session to help decide.

We can always measure the lofts on your clubs which only takes a minute and will give a guide, but a gapping session will provide the cast iron proof of what is required. It also gives the opportunity to try our demos, have a look at your technique, see your angle of attack and recommend the right bounce angles as well as lofts.

With the lofts on modern irons always getting stronger, many golfers have massive gaps at the shorter end of the set they are unaware of.

If you are compensating for a gap in your set you may be missing a wedge or even two – come to see us to solve the puzzle and save precious shots.

Maybe you want new or matching wedges for better feel, more consistency and increased spin now that the season is finally upon us?
