Summer Ball

The Summer Ball was a successful evening and a big thanks must go to Jane Wilde for the excellent food that was enjoyed by all that attended. The band, Stiff Witness, played some old school classics which got the dance floor rocking. Also a big thanks to the bar staff and everyone involved in organising the event. It was nice to see some new faces attending as well as this year’s triumphant Hargrove side that were invited as Honorary guests for the evening.

Winter vs summer

Summer golf throws up different requirements and skill sets to that of winter golf, and you’ll often find yourself in positions or playing shots that you wouldn’t necessarily face at the other times of the year. The checklist below highlights the main performance differences you’ll notice between seasons, with an emphasis on distance in the winter and control in the summer.

A great option all-year round
These factors can make settling on one ball confusing, so here are our thoughts on why the TaylorMade Project (s) could be your perfect option. Not only does its large inner core deliver faster ball speeds for winter distance, but it also boasts a low compression that helps slower swinging players generate the high spin needed on firm summer greens.

An absolute breeze

We stock several different styles of spikeless golf shoe here in-store, which can make the ideal summer companion. If you’re considering a pair then here are a few options that we’d recommend coming to try on for size.

Why go for spikeless?
Spikeless golf shoes are designed to make walking the course a breeze, offering lightweight comfort, stability with plenty of cushioning and versatile nub-style outsoles that are both kinder to the greens and ideal for wear indoors and when driving to the club.

Take these two options from Skechers, for example. Both offer all the benefits we mentioned above, but the Elite V3 (first above) will suit those of you after a little more stability and a sporty look, while the Fairway Lead (second above) offers more of a lifestyle look you can take off the course.

Cleveland RTX or CBX?

Cleveland's wedge line-up is among the best in golf, catering for golfers of all playing abilities.

For the more accomplished player, there's the RTX-3 wedge, which is a bladed option available in three finishes and various loft and bounce options.

But a bladed wedge isn't for everyone, and that's why Cleveland has brought the CBX to market, a cavity back wedge that offers forgiveness and versatility.
