Greetings from Ben Blackburn
Kings Hill Golf Club - Director of Golf
 

This week we have launched  our new website and email newsletter. My team and I hope you like it. This new website and email is fully responsive in design. Irrespective of what digital device you are using the content will adjust accordingly, giving a perfect display every time. This will allow you to read our weekly words of wisdom from the comfort of, for example your sofa, office or even a train.

We would love you to explore my website and investigate the tips and drills, product catalogue and interact with any features we have on the website.

Our aim is to provide you with weekly relevant golfing related content. From product reviews to coaching tips, we want to explain how my experience and skills as a PGA professional can help you get the most out of your game and ensure you make the right choices when buying golf equipment. Finally, and of course most importantly, we want to keep you up-to-date with what is happening here at our golf course.

In this first week we have a couple of great articles, one of which gives you the chance to WIN a dozen golf balls. Tell us what your key personal priorities are when you are looking at buying golf equipment; Is it Brand, Price or Fit? Take a look at the article below and enter the survey.

We look forward to any feedback you may have so click here to tell us what you think about our new email and website.


What a great start to the golfing season the Masters Weekend was both at Kings Hill and the smaller event that followed each evening in America. People have asked me what made George play so well over that weekend? I have maintained that George has always been a good player but that weekend was the first time (for as long as I can remember) he had played with a whole set with straight shafts following an equipment MOT with Chris Pearson.

Following the well documented success of the 9 hole Par 3 competition the night before the Masters (Asad Babadi continued the tradition that you can not win the par 3 and win the masters!), the next Friday Night Captain's 9 and Wine will be on the 9th May - Book online now. Food will be Lamb Tagine with Spicy cous cous (book this with the bar staff).


Growing the game for all is a vital goal for myself and the team. This is highlighted by Get into Golf during National Golf Month this May. This is designed to help introduce new players and encourage players that haven't played for a while to have a go and return to the game.

Here, at Kings Hill, we are running a promotion during National Golf Month whereby if you introduce a friend you can share a Free lesson with one of our PGA Professionals. You can find out more information by clicking on the adjacent image. 

Please call the professional team on 01732842121 or contact us here if there is anyone that you would like to suggest gives golf a go!


We have had a very positive start to the season. The Junior Academy success continues to develop week on week with the club now having 40 Junior golfers with handicaps, four of which are girls. Well done to both Chris Pearson and Mark Trow for their continued efforts. To find out more information or to join our Junior Academy, please contact the pro shop by clicking here.

I am delighted to inform you that we are to host the PGA Southern Professionals Championships in September. Corporate packages are available again so please contact me direct for more details. These Pro-Am events are a great day out with friends and clients playing with a PGA Professional. If you would like to attend one of these events please speak to one of the professionals.

Please do not hesitate to send me suggestions or questions that you would like included or answered in future newsletters. Anything from a weekly rules section to my tip of the week - all suggestions are welcome. These requests can be done here.


Team shirts and Jumpers are now available for those representing the club in matches. Please go to the pro shop to try one on for size and to place your order. 

On Tuesday 13th May we have PING here for a fitting day please book with the pro shop here as there are only a couple of places left. I will follow up on this next week.

To take advantage of the above offer please visit us in store or contact us here.

 
 
 
I hope you enjoy the rest of the newsletter and have a great weekend.
 
 
 
What are your buying priorities

When it comes to purchasing new golf clubs, for me, there are three considerations we golfers face, namely: brand, price/value, fit. With this in mind, what's most important to you?

Foiling compromise: the latest player’s irons

The ultimate serious golfer's iron blends the feel and workability of a blade with that vital element of mis-hit assistance. The latest compact and forgiving heads created by the game's leading brands suggest they are getting ever closer to it.

  
TaylorMade Tour Preferred CB irons
  

The right shaft is just one part of customising your irons. We specialise in this complex but crucial area, so be sure to take advantage of our expertise.

Putting tips
 
We’d wager you can’t recall the last time you hit a 30ft putt five feet wide – but we’d also bet you left one 5ft long or short in your last round. Cutting out three-putts is all about distance control. We’ve some great drills to help you improve. Come and see us soon.
