Coaching news

It's a state of mind...

Working on technique is always important, however, once you are on the course it is often your mental state that needs attention.

These 'Be a Player' sesions are aimed at both the golf club player and advanced players and presents a series of 'human skills'. Played over nine holes, we will experiment and explore these human skills through a series of explorations on the golf course that strip away the many swing thoughts going on at any one time.

The goal is to unite your technical skills and on course performance to unlock your golfing potential and breakdown milestones! We have scheduled 3 dates starting next month, costing £20 per person with a maximum of 3 in a group.

Be a Player Dates:

- Monday 23rd September 2:30pm

- Monday 30th September 2:30pm

- Wednesday 9th October 2:00pm

Battle of the irons

Before we pit these two beauties against one another, have a think about how good your bad shots are? It's a bit of an oxymoron, but are they disastrous and leading to big scores or are they less penal and still go somewhere around the green?

Red corner - Titleist T300 irons

If your bad shots really are bad then it's definitely worth looking at a game-improvement iron, like the T300 from Titleist. Not only does it come with added tungsten weighting in the toe for maximum forgiveness that you'll appreciate, but Max Impact technology provides incredible distance and feel across the entire face.

Blue corner - Titleist T100 irons

Those of you who tend to strike the ball well the majority of the time should consider the T100 model. It's a player's iron with a cleaner look next to the ball, and allows the better player to shape and flight the ball in whichever way they want. Both of these irons are available to try in your local pro shop today!

Just landed: autumn/winter clothing

A new season brings with it the perfect opportunity to upgrade our wardrobe and never has there been a better time than now thanks to the latest line of adidas clothing that is available in-store through us.

Heather Block Polo

This autumnal polo from adidas looks resplendent with the brand's signature three stripes across the chest. It also has moisture wicking and stretch fabric for a comfortable fit every time.

Ultimate Gradient Stripe

The navy-blue upper block colour is complimented perfectly by the mid-section stripe pattern and, if style wasn’t enough, the shirt is designed to help regulate your temperature.

Competition Sweater

A mid-layer is crucial at this time of the year and this option puts the ‘competition’ to bed – couldn’t resist - thanks to its athletic styling and signature three stripes on the right sleeve.

Video of the Week

We are often left amazed at some of the shots that the world's best golfers manage to pull off, but sometimes the stars aren't aligned and things can go wrong. Enjoy this week's video as we take a look back at some of the unluckiest shots ever seen on the European Tour.

I hope you enjoyed this week's newsletter. As always, if you have anything that you'd like to contribute please speak to one of the pro shop team. I'll see you at the club over the coming days.
