Free TaylorMade stand bag with SpeedBlade irons

Greetings from Ben Blackburn

Kings Hill Golf Club - Director of Golf

Last week saw both Glen and I playing in the Leeds Castle Ryder Cup Pro Am.

As you can see we had our photo with the Ryder cup - a very special trophy for the third most viewed event on the world.

Unfortunately we weren't picked for the Ryder cup but I am sure our second place finish didn't go unnoticed by PGA CEO Sandy Jones so there's always a chance of a recommendation to Mr McGinley!

As you can see the shop has some great new shirt and summer attire.

Father's Day is coming up and we have many gifts from Balls and Gloves to Clubs and Bags, we can also provide gift vouchers too. Having looked at who receives these newsletters please forward this email to your wives, partners and children to ensure you get the best gift possible this Father's day!

Anyone that purchases a father's day gift will be entered into a draw to win a playing lesson worth £100!

To have your father entered please fill out the father's day form when making your purchase. The draw will take place this Friday so you can add the playing lesson to your father's day gift.

Further ahead the Club Championships are at the end of the month. The ladies play theirs on Saturday and the men's is the week after. Our lesson diaries are in the professional shop for a last minute tune up. Whether it be on those nervy 5 foot putts, 100 yards and in or your long game, we can help you! Please click here to view what lessons are available at Kings Hill.

The wine and 9 is an individual stableford on Friday. Please book with pro shop - it costs just £10 and includes food and prizes.

Members Invitation day is on the Friday 4th July. It costs £55 per pair of 1 member and 1 guest to include food, golf, pimms and prizes. Again, please enter with pro shop or noticeboard in the hallway.

I look forward to receiving a drink from Alex Parietti following his hole in one at the weekend!!

1st - Carl Platten 76-7=69

I hope you enjoy the rest of the newsletter and have a great weekend.

Use the 'tee drill' to groove a powerful strike

Last week we looked at how brands are creating irons that offer more distance than ever before. With a 9-iron in your hands, as opposed to a 7-iron, we're talking more looks at birdies - so long as your ball-striking is sound. So, here's a drill to help you deliver cleaner, more powerful strikes...

Ask us how you go about getting fit for a set of irons that is right for your own swing.

Versatile clothing for a changeable climate

We've all been there... it's raining one minute, sunny the next, raining again, sunny two minutes later. This is where having a good selection of layers comes in handy. This is where golf-dedicated brands really deliver - and what's more, those layers come with complete freedom of movement.

Come and take a look for yourself in store and make sure the changeable weather conditions don't catch you out.

The ideal summer golf shoe is light, comfortable and versatile, while offering protection from those random rainy rounds. Step forward FootJoy’s HydroLite SL, which delivers on all counts thanks to its spikeless sole, waterproof, breathable lining and LoPro last.

Fingers crossed for a long, hot summer so we can really lower those handicaps. This will mean getting out even when we have a burst or two of rain. That’s when it pays to have a reliable set of waterproofs to call on, a set that won’t impede your swing, like the FootJoy DryJoys Tour XP.
