US Open Sweepstake

Only a few weeks to go till the top players in the World descend on Shinnecock Hills for the 70th US Open. With many of the top players finding form heading into this year's event, it's a tough one to call. To add to the excitement, we are running a sweepstake here at Wollaton Park for you to enter.

Entry will be £5 per square. Each square represents a player in the US Open, if they win, so do you. We will be paying out the top five places with 1st prize being a voucher for £312.

There are limited squares remaining so don't miss out!

Second hand club service

Have you got a garage full of clubs you are never going to use again? Then why not turn them into new equipment, shoes or clothing by letting us sell them for you. We take all the hassle out of selling your old equipment on EBAY and do it all for you from listing the items to posting them all you have to do is bring them to the Pro Shop. Once an item sells we work out all the costs involved (postage, EBAY fees and PayPal fees) and take a 10% commission on the profits, the rest of the profit is yours to spend as a voucher in the Pro Shop.

We can only sell a limited amount of equipment every month so call us early to avoid disappointment.

Brand Price Fit

And the winner is...

Congratulations to Bob Hughes who was the winner of the Brand Price Fit survey which I done in my first weekly newsletter.

Your dozen Callaway Supersofts are ready for collection in the pro shop.

Pro's news

How’s your game holding up?

If your golf game hasn’t got off to a great start this year, it’s time to do something about it. Going out on the golf course week after week and doing the same things will rarely lead to success and, if anything, will result in you getting frustrated.

We have years of experience and the expert knowledge to help you with every part of your game, and with more great weather and golf on the horizon; now is a great time to consider some lessons or upgrading your equipment.

We are currently running our Complete Equipment Solution promotion where we are offering to custom fit you for FREE and give you a FREE after-sales lesson once your new clubs arrive. However, this will only last until the end of the month so don't delay it any longer.

Take your pick

We’re sure the majority of you will agree that having a distance device on the course is a huge benefit, going hand-in-hand with knowing how far you hit each club. For those of you in the market for a laser rangefinder or GPS device, here are a few options within Garmin’s range to suit different preferences.

Pinpoint laser accuracy
There's one standout feature to Garmin's Z80 laser rangefinder that sets it apart from all others on the market. As well as giving precise distances up to 350 yards away, the Z80 also includes hole maps that are integrated into the viewfinder, which display the shape of the hole and provide front and back distances when you lock on to the flag.

Information at a glance
If you prefer wearable technology, Garmin has both GPS watches and bands to suit all styles. The Approach S60 watch, seen here on the left, boasts colour hole maps, hazard information and offers front, middle and back yardages. The other, the Approach X40 band, is a slim, lightweight and waterproof wristband that gives you distances to the green and to hazards, as well as heart rate and activity tracking.

Adjustability? So what...

From changeable hosels to sliding weights, drivers have never been as adjustable as they are today. But how does this benefit you? Read on to find out what you have to gain from playing an adjustable driver.

Personalise your launch
All of Callaway's current drivers feature the brand’s OptiFit adjustable hosel, which allows us to optimise your trajectory so you can launch it higher or lower, as well as choosing between a neutral or draw lie angle setting to try to improve your dispersion.

Shot shape control
On the GBB Epic we can utilise a 17g sliding weight that Callaway says can alter your flight by 21 yards from left-to-right to give you better accuracy, distance and control. So if your ball flight tends to be a fade to the right, we can move this weight to counteract this shot shape, helping you to find more fairways.

Don't outgrow your driver
If you’re planning on improving your technique and making swing changes, having an adjustable driver that you can alter to suit your new swing is much cheaper than forking out for a new model.

Video of the Week

If you're looking to show off then there's no better shot to play than the parachute shot; firing the ball way up into the air and getting it to land close to the pin from around the green. Watch this short video to find out exactly how to play it…

We hope you enjoyed our proshop newsletter. If you need anymore help or advice please pop into the shop and we will be delighted to assist you. Martyn and the golf team.
