Junior half-term 9 hole stableford Thank you to Graham Evans who organised and provided the following information. On Wednesday afternoon, some of the juniors got together for a half-term 9 hole stableford. It was the first opportunity to play competitively this year for some of them. It was a closely contested competition with the winner, on countback, being Ewan Birch who received the trophy. Each of the players received a sleeve of golf balls which had been kindly donated by the members. Max, Alex, Ewan, Oliver and Will all agreed that they would like to play another warm up 9 holes in March before the junior season begins on the 6th of April. Graham Evans (Junior Organiser)

We all love new golf equipment – be it balls, clubs or shoes; there’s nothing like stepping out onto the course knowing that everything in your bag is in pristine condition. Except, for the majority of golfers, there’s always one thing which is often forgotten about... |
| How old are your grips? |
| Losing control during your swing? |
|
If you pulled a club out of your bag now, what state would your grips be in? You’ll probably notice that they’re at the very least losing some of the tackiness they once had or, in the worst cases, worn away so badly that they’re completely unrecognizable - a clear sign they need to be replaced. The benefits to getting your clubs regripped are huge, and they can even improve your performance. Take the ALIGN grips from Golf Pride; these have a raised edge on the back (red part of grip seen here) to perfect your hand placement every time. |
|
As you can see, we're currently running a promotion where you can get your 7-iron regripped for FREE; all you need to do is pop in-store and decide which of these grips you want to try out. |
