Academy news

A quick reminder

Just a quick reminder that there is NO Junior Academy lesson this Saturday as it's Gala Day.

We look forward to seeing you all on Saturday 8th June.

1 gap, 3 options

The term 'gapping' is commonly used to refer to the yardage distance between each of the wedges in your bag. We want to break this thought process and get you to think about gapping for your entire set, because any unequal gaps between clubs will have a detrimental impact on your game.

Gapping at the top end

One part of your set that needs careful consideration is how you transition from your irons into your woods. Lots of golfers struggle to hit their longer irons and instead opt for a replacement hybrid or driving iron, which can lead to large gaps between clubs if you're not careful.

So, what's the solution? Well, take advantage of our services and professional advice, and we'll make sure you have the perfect club/s to fill any gaps at the top end of your bag.

What are your options?

TaylorMade recognised the problem that many golfers have in this area and brought GAPR to market to help them fix it.

There is a GAPR Hi option, which is most like a hybrid in shape and offers extreme distance with a high trajectory.

This is followed by GAPR Mid, which is somewhere between a hybrid and a long iron. It offers a slightly lower trajectory than the Hi and is perfect for hitting off tees or off the deck.

Finally, the GAPR Lo is for the better ball strikers as its smaller profile provides excellent shot-shaping and workability from a penetrating trajectory.

Get your kicks on this summer

Now that the better weather is upon us, it's time to pack those waterproof shoes away in the garage and step onto the course in a stylish new pair of breathable kicks for the summer months ahead.

Why not try the FJ Flex?

No one wants to take their shoes off after a round to reveal a less-than-desirable whiff.

Fortunately, that is no longer a concern thanks to this shoe from FootJoy, which focuses on breathability and comfort to keep your feet feeling fresh all day.

However, that is not even the best bit!

The Versa-Trax outsole has been engineered for perfect on-course performance with wear-to-the-course versatility, so you'll be getting maximum bang for your buck.

So, what better way to prepare for the warmer months than by coming down to the pro shop and trying on a pair of FJ Flex shoes before you head out for your next round?
