Nearest to the pin competition

You will remember that on Saturday, 22 December, we ran a nearest to the pin competition in the indoor simulator; the hole was the famous “postage stamp” at Royal Troon Golf Club.

With over 70 players having three attempts at getting their ball as close to the pin as possible, it was Jeff Cowls who claimed victory with a stunning PW finishing twelve inches.

Now I must tell you the story because Jeff didn’t have the correct clubs with him, so he used my Callaway pitching wedge for the winning shot…Jeff let me know if you want to buy the set.

Jeff collecting his prize

During December and January, we were offering customers that spent over £50 in-store a chance to win a TaylorMade Tour bag worth £349.

The draw was made last Thursday and the winner was Roger Kitteridge.

Congratulations Roger and thank you for your support

Coaching news

Maria puts her trust in me

As many of you may or may not be aware, Maria Toledo Bailey has been awarded an athletics scholarship at the University of Southern Mississippi Hattiesburg Mississippi.

Maria currently holds a No. 161 European Golf ranking at the U18 level. She also finished third at the English Champion of Champions, and at the Aston Wood has claimed the Monthly Medal, Lady Club Championship, Rosebowl and Ladies Medal. Maria will join the program in Fall 2019 as seniors Valentina Haupt and Miranda Holt conclude their careers.

I’m very honored to say that Maria has asked me to be her coach for this coming season to help her achieve her goals and get her whole golf game the best possible shape ready for her trip to the States.

Get ready for an Epic ride…

I’m very excited to announce that we have had the new Callaway Epic Flash driver and fairway demos delivered and what a treat is waiting for you all.

The brand tasked their new $5million super computer with the job of producing the ultimate driver face, 15,000 attempts later and the design that they have come up with is nothing like anything you've seen before.

Whereas in the past Callaway had an x-face, which was thicker in the centre and quite thin around the edges, the new Flash Face is nothing like that. In a nutshell, the technology is an amalgamation of ridges behind the face which they say optimise ball speed all across the face, and the thinnest part of the face is now in the centre - a complete departure from what Callaway drivers have previously looked like.

In addition, the Epic Flash driver features their renowned Jailbreak technology for faster ball speeds, a new T2C Triaxial carbon crown for higher MOI, a forged titanium inserts and adjustable perimeter weighting for control.

Callaway say their Tour pros are seeing an average gain of 1.7mph of ball speed and often up towards 3mph in the new Epic Flash driver, which is absolutely huge. So, we decided to set one up for our Tom to test.

The first thing Tom noticed was how square the club sat on the floor “nothing worse than seeing a driver sitting slightly toed in” also not too much going on at the top of the club head.

The ball felt very solid off the club face giving a penetrating ball flight.

Toms club head speed increased by three MPH compared to his own Driver and his ball speed increased by four MPH meaning his carry distance went up by an average of nine yards.

So it is a yes from Thomas...

We have limited space left on the Callaway fitting day next Wednesday 30th January, contact me now to book your free place. Don’t worry if you can’t make this day as I have all the fitting clubs available in the studio.

You can't go wrong...

The last thing anyone wants is to purchase a new set of irons, only to struggle massively when they take to the course with their friends a few days later. Sound familiar? Well, with lots of new products about to land in-store for 2019, here is an iron model that we recommend having a custom fitting for...

Mizuno's JPX919 Hot Metal iron is packed with stunning features to help you hit more greens in regulation than ever before. As its name suggests, the Hot Metal produces extreme ball speed for greater distance whilst maintaining a lovely ball flight.

The great thing about Mizuno is its DNA fitting software. In just three swings, this unique system will tell us which iron model (7 to choose from) will be best suited to your swing, as well as giving us a choice of shafts - the engine of the club - that'll really allow us to make sure you walk away with the perfect set for your game.

It's time to get away

Being part of a golf club brings many other benefits than simply being able to play in competitions. Take the social aspect for example; you make lots of friends - some for life - that you spend time with most weeks out on the course, but have you thought of taking those games abroad?

Morgado Golf & Country Club

If you want to get away with your golfing friends then this needs to be at the top of your bucket list. Morgado is a new luxury golf resort that is not just one of the best golf resorts in the Algarve, but the whole of Europe. Spend some time here and you'll head home feeling relaxed and refreshed.

Spotlight: Epic Flash driver

This time two years ago, we were sitting here in fascination as Callaway introduced Jailbreak Technology for the very first time, which produced significant distance gains for a lot of golfers.

Fast forward to now and Callaway is bringing Epic Flash to market (arriving here in a couple of weeks), which they say has a 'radically different face design' that will promote even faster ball speeds and, in turn, even more distance.
