Fitting days

Titleist Thursdays are back!

If you have not tried the new Titleist drivers and fairway woods fear not! Titleist Thursdays are back!

We have 2 dates in the diary for the the next couple of months - 25th October and 8th of November.

If you would like to book in please follow this link.

Join the members that have already made the switch to the new driver and hit longer, straighter drives which will ultimately help you shoot lower scores!

Our very own Sian Evans has the new TS3 in the bag, Sian has seen a gain of a 10 yard carry from last years 917 driver. Which made me think how many members have been custom fit for their driver in the last 2 years?

If your driver is more than 2 years old or if you want to just try the new TS2/TS3 we will give you a FREE 20 minute fit to see how much distance you can gain with the new Titleist woods. If Sian can gain 10 yards to a driver that is less than 2 years old think about what you could gain if your driver is 2,3,4 or even 5 years old.

Get in touch here.

This week I had the chance to play 9 holes with junior member Jake Antoun, I just wanted to say how impressed I was with not only his golf game, or how far he hits the ball! But how impressed I was with his whole attitude towards the game. I often see Jake practising until it's dark outside and it's brilliant to see a thirteen year old have such great work ethic towards this great game. Definitely one to look out for in the future!! Well done and keep up the hard work!

It's time for a change

When you step onto the tee with a driver in hand, there are two thoughts in most golfers' minds: "Hit it far, and hit it straight". Both of these were easier said than done, until Titleist released its new TS2 and TS3 drivers earlier this year...

How much could you gain?

Both of these drivers are designed to bring more speed to your game, which results in greater distance. It's as simple as that.

The Titleist TS2 is all about forgiveness. In fact, it has the highest MOI that Titleist has ever produced, which means it's more resistant to twisting at impact, for longer and straighter shots. However, if you have a consistent miss with your drives, the TS3 will be perfect for you as we can set it up to counter your destructive shot.

With two models to choose from, it's more important than ever to come and see us for a custom fitting. What numbers will you be putting up on the Titleist board?

Shake off a shower

As winter approaches, we can expect a lot of things with one certainty being rain, and a lot of it. We all know what this can lead to - feeling soaked out on the course, a barely readable scorecard and, in some cases, just a generally miserable round of golf. Enter, golf-specific waterproofs….

Those disgruntled feelings of being drenched during your 18 holes will be a thing of the past, once you've got your hands on FootJoy's HydroLite jacket. This layer will keep you dry without affecting your swing thanks to its Four-Way Stretch Shell with DWR finish. It also has a waterproof front zipper for maximum water protection where you need it the most.

We hope you enjoyed this week's newsletter. As always, if you have anything that you'd like to contribute please speak to one of the pro shop team. We'll see you at the club over the coming days.
