Coaching news

Seniors Coaching

This week we covered bunker shots and lobbing over the bunker. Congratulations to all the seniors who attended and improved their short game skills. As always we make our practice a little competitive and congratulations goes to Richard Paddock who won this week’s skills challenge.

Next week we are focussing on putting. All seniors are welcome to attend at 11am next Wednesday.

Please click here if you would like to attend.

Look good, feel good

It's certainly a lot easier to play better golf when you feel good about yourself and your game. Whilst you might not always be 'on-the-money' with your swing, you certainly have no excuse when it comes to what you're wearing.

Glenmuir SS19 clothing

Glenmuir's latest collection for spring/summer '19 oozes style and is, without doubt, one of their best clothing ranges to date.

The main thing we love this year is Glenmuir's combination of striking colours and subtle styling, enabling them to create a fashionable range that wouldn't look out of place off the course either.

We've got Glenmuir's fantastic collection displayed in-store for you to try on, as well as some beautiful club-crested garments too.

It's time to act

We've shown you videos from David Leadbetter on the importance of having fresh Golf Pride grips on your clubs (click on the link below to view if you haven't already), talked about the warning signs that indicate yours need replacing, as well as the benefits that these two grips have to offer.

Now, we're handing the baton over to you.

Spotlight: Garmin Approach S40 watch

This is hot off the press. Garmin are the market leader when it comes to golf GPS equipment, and it's easy to see why when they bring out a product like this.

Its stylish design will look the part on and off the course, it's preloaded with 41,000 courses worldwide, and it provides key distances such as to hazards, doglegs and greens. All of this at a fantastic price point. Watch our video to find out more.

Video of the Week

Best known for their beautiful forged irons and impeccable craftsmanship, Mizuno is a brand that has released outstanding product year-on-year for decades. This year, it's the turn of their metalwoods to get an update and the ST190/ST190G drivers for 2019 are hugely impressive, as this video shows.

I hope you have a great week.
