Make your clubs feel like new in just 5 minutes

Did you know your grips should be changed every 10 - 12 months if you play twice a week? Worn golf grips can have a dramatic effect on your game, as they will influence your grip pressure and that can have a negative impact on your shots! If your grips are feeling slippery and worn out come and see us in the pro shop. We can show you our range of new grips and we will also measure your hand size to make sure you are using the correct size grips!

Mind the gap

Do you often find yourself stuck between clubs? One club will launch too far beyond your target whilst the other will leave you short. If so, you're either very unlucky or you need to come and see us for a gapping session.

Example of poor distance gapping

Distance gapping is the art of putting your set together whilst ensuring each gap between one club and the next is equal.

Take your wedges as an example. Say you have a PW with around 46 degrees of loft and sand wedge at 56 degrees; this 10-degree gap could leave you with a distance gap of around 30 yards or more! What do you do if you need to play a shot right in the middle of those distances?

The same can be said at the other end of your set, but usually this will involve two clubs going the same distance. If you have a 3-iron in the bag as well as a hybrid and a 5-wood, chances are you'll be hitting them similar distances - so it's time for one to go!

If any of this is resonating with you, then let’s get you booked in before you head out for your next round.

Let the battle commence

Classic or sporty? Colourful or traditional? Style is a personal choice and with brands offering up any number of designs, we have never had so much choice when it comes to your footwear options. With this in mind, we pit two styles up against one another in the ultimate battle of the shoes.

Which will you choose?

The battle between sporty and traditional purely comes down to taste but one thing is undeniable, both the FootJoy UltraFIT Boa and FJ Fury shoes will have you oozing confidence at address whichever one your taste swings towards.

In the red corner we have the UltraFit Boa, which boasts a more traditional look and yet comes with the ultra-modern Boa Fit System for the perfect fit everytime.

In the blue corner we have the sporty FJ Fury that gives the wearer more of an athletic look and is a big favourite of Rafa Cabrera-Bello on Tour.

Both shoes are worthy winners but which is your favourite?

We have a great footwear offering in-store so be sure to pop in and try some on to ensure you get the perfect fit.
