Club news

Club update

The new 8th tee is coming on nicely now and you can see how it will alter the view of the hole from there. We're looking forward to it being in use.

We have had a few incidents of people on motorbikes on the course later on in the evenings and we are aware of this and so are the Police. We would ask any members who spot this to give the Pro Shop a ring and not to confront them for your own safety.

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 Under Armour's Showdown SL Sunbrella?

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 Under Armour, which comes with a water-resistant upper and a breathable memberane for all-round comfort.

However, that is not even the best bit!

There's no sacrifice when it comes to traction with this spikeless offering either, but you do gain the versatility of being able to wear it both on or off the course.

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