Does your child/grandchild want to get into golf?

We had a full house on the weekend with 12 juniors attending our junior session. It was also great to see some new junior's getting involved also.

Due to popular demand, Jai and I will be opening up more sessions moving into the spring.

So, if your child or grandchild would like to get into golf. then give the pro shop a call today.

Pro's tip

Six New Year golfing resolutions…

- Clean golf off shoes and trolley after each round.

- Take wet shoes and waterproofs out of the car after play and dry in the house naturally (not on a heater) and do not leave in the garage...it's cold out there!

- If the weather has been really bad then the golf bag should be emptied and dried out.

- Glove check - If worn, has holes or filthy then bin it! It is your only *contact with the club, it needs to be dry and clean. *Dry: Therefore do not pick a wet ball up with your golf glove on!

- Golf ball check - Clean the ball every time before hitting it if on ‘winter rules’. A clean, dry ball will fly higher and further. Also, wipe the ball before putting including the putter face. A simple piece of grit or sand if caught between the two will affect the roll of the ball.

- Spike check - Look after your golf shoes include checking the state of your spikes. The spikes stop your feet from slipping and a golf swing can be a fast movement with the transfer of weight so you need a solid foundation to move on.

Some of those ideas may seem a bit of a pain but if we look after our golf equipment properly it will last longer and help you in some cases to play better golf.

Tour news

The early bird(ie)

The early bird catches the worm is how the saying goes and Justin Thomas certainly got his year off to the perfect start with victory in the Sentry Tournament of Champions.

It took a playoff though as Thomas, Xander Schauffele, and Patrick Reed all ended on -14 despite Schauffele having two putts from 35 feet to win it outright.

It took until the third time round under darkening skies but Thomas stuck a full wedge to within three feet to tap home for birdie and make it three wins from his last seven Tour starts to begin the year in style.

Ready. Set. Go.

Hands up if you’re still feeling stuffed from the excessive (but highly enjoyable) eating over the festive period...

We’re not going to ask anything too strenuous of you this week as we ease our way into the new year so don’t worry! Instead, take a quick look at the image below and see if any of it looks familiar to you.

With a new season upon us and plenty of new products arriving in your local pro shop over the next few months (more on this in the coming weeks), now’s the perfect time to wave goodbye to the old tatty golf shoes, the worn-out gloves in a pile at the bottom of your bag, and the golf balls with more scuff marks than dimples!

If you’re the type of golfer who keeps on top of their equipment then we salute you but if any of the above rings true, pop by the shop this weekend and give your stuff a winter MOT. We’re always here to help.

All you need and more

Cold hands are fun for no-one and neither is getting soaked from an unexpected shower whilst out on the course. Fortunately, both of these issues are easily eradicated by a few simple accessories from our friends at Motocaddy.

Whether you need an umbrella holder, scorecard holder or wheel covers, we have a great selection in your local pro shop – after all, what’s more annoying than having to dig your tatty scorecard out of your pocket after every hole!

That’s not all though as our personal favourite - the brand new Hot Mitts (pictured centre above) - ensure your hands stay toasty warm between shots thanks to a fleece lining and three different heat settings. Definitely, worth a try!

Product spotlight

PING's G410 Plus driver

Unfortunately, we all miss the fairway from time-to-time (some of us more than others) but the question we'd like to ask you is:

Are you giving yourself the best chance of finding the short stuff?

What we love most about PING's G410 Plus driver is that we can move the weight into a draw, fade or neutral setting to help you fight your common miss. So, if you have a slice we can put this into a draw setting for you to promote a right-to-left ball flight.
