Becoming More Consistent and Hit It Further Last week Viv Parr came for a lesson to help her become more consistent and to hit the ball further. One of things I did first, was change her grip and to get the club sitting in her fingers of her left hand. Only when you grip the club in the fingers can you hinge your wrists in the backswing. You will never reach your true potential if you grip the club in the palm. Viv has committed to lessons over the winter and I’m sure will see the benefits in the spring. In the picture below you can see Viv’s backswing with no wrist hinge at the start of the lesson. Then in just thirty minutes, Viv has a much more powerful position to deliver greater clubhead speed. We both saw an increase in distance and higher trajectory. If you would like to work on your swing with me over the winter, please drop into the shop and we can set out a plan together, or click here and get in touch. |

Annodata Team And finally, good luck to our Annodata Team who fly off to Spain on Sunday to compete in the finals of the Annodata Championship. Two years ago they came so close to winning, so this year could be the year for them to return as champions. Everyone at the club has their fingers. |

A Christmas miracle from Motocaddy Maybe we’ve gone a little over the top with that title but there is still a huge saving to be had in-store right now! If you purchase a Motocaddy Lithium trolley from us between now and the end of 2019, you will be entitled to a FREE Motocaddy golf bag worth up to £219.99.

Did you know we price match here in the Pro Shop? If you find any product from another genuine golf retailer online (Excluding eBay, Amazon, wholesalers, shopping channels or clearance sites) we will price match if the item is in stock and the items are like for like.
This means you can get your golf equipment at the cheapest online prices right here in the Pro Shop. One thing we pride ourselves on and we feel sets us apart from online retailers is customer service. Not only can you get the best prices, but we will always help in any way we can. For instance, if you purchase a Motocaddy electric trolley from us and forget your battery, we will let you use one of ours free of charge! Online retailers can’t offer you that level of customer service!
Terms and conditions apply to the Price Match Promise offer, please come and speak to us in the Pro Shop to find out more.

Worldwide Success for Team PING PING Pro Tyrrell Hatton, captured his fourth European Tour title in a six-man playoff under the lights at the Turkish Airlines Open, edging out PING Pros Matthias Schwab and Victor Perez who both finished T2. Hatton said, "I actually can't believe that I've won, It's been quite a difficult year in terms of things happening off course and the last month I feel like I've really found my game again." With her final two rounds bogey-free, Ai Suzuki was calm under pressure to win the Toto Japan Classic by three strokes for her first LPGA career victory. |

''This one is special because it's a US LPGA tour event,'' Suzuki said. ''It's beyond Japan, an International event.'' With the win, Suzuki, a regular on the Japan LPGA, becomes eligible for LPGA Tour membership. Jeff Maggert ended struggles in style with a season finale win at the Charles Schwab Cup Championship in Phoenix this weekend, holing a wedge from 124 yards on the third playoff hole, to make eagle. Speaking about the dramatic end to the tournament Maggert said, shaking his head. “You know, I can’t explain it.”. This is his sixth PGA TOUR Champions win, and first since 2015. |
#468FCD ;text-align:left">Stats that'll make you thinkYou don’t get to a single-figure handicap without having a strong iron game, but the journey shouldn't end there. For us, there are two key factors that, when combined properly, will help take your iron play to the next level. |
1) Get custom-fitted If you're serious about shooting in the 70s each and every round, then getting custom-fitted for your next set of irons is key. TaylorMade’s P790 model feel fantastic off the face and provide precise distances and control, but that's no good if you're using the wrong shafts or you need 2-degrees flat but yours are standard.
2) Know your yardages The second stat above is remarkable and if you're one of the 21%, you need to come and see us for a gapping session. There we can give you the distances you hit each of your clubs as well as spot any issues you have between clubs.
