PGA Super 60s Championship

Glyn Krause and Richard Coleman proved there is no place like home in winning the PGA Super 60s Championship at Wollaton Park Golf Club. Glyn Krause my assistant Professional and his amateur partner in the better ball competition was Richard Coleman. So inevitably they were the best supported of the 74 pairs competing for a portion of the £10,000 prize fund of which £1,250 went to the winner. But they were not given an easy passage to victory thanks to the obduracy of defending champions John Hay and Rob Dennett as well as Brian McKee and David Carter, neither were their supporters. They had to live on their nerves until the last shot of the tournament when Coleman held his to drain a six-foot putt to clinch victory with a total of -15 over two rounds.

Thank you to all members of staff and volunteers that made the week another great success for the golf club; to read more please click here.

Sunday Invitation and Beat the Pro

There are still places available in the AM and PM shotgun starts for the Gents Invitation Sunday 19th August. If you have not done so already please contact the pro shop with your playing partners name and home club so these can be added to the system to help the day run smoothly.

I will be running a beat the Pro Challenge on the 17th tee where you can’t lose. You can bet between £10 and £100; if you hit the green and beat me your bet doubles as voucher to spend in the shop. If you miss the green or I beat you then you get your money back as a voucher to spend in the shop. So, you can’t lose, it’s one of life's Win Wins.

Salvers

The Salver competitions are hotting up nicely as we come to the end of the season with just a few medal rounds to compete in. Division one sees Ian Hudson leading the way with a total of 421, one shot ahead of Simon Cowan. Division two has Paul Upton and Gary Block tied on 420 with Paul Deaton a shot further back while Division three has Mark Lievesley in a commanding position with a total of 408, thirteen shots ahead of Alistair Clark.

Product launch

Arriving soon: TaylorMade GAPR

TaylorMade has always been an innovative company, coming up with some fantastic ideas such as Twist Face and SLDR. Arriving in-store mid-September is the latest on their conveyor belt in GAPR. Designed to bridge the gap between your longest playable iron and your shortest metalwood, there are three GAPR options (Hi, Mid and Lo) that are set to take the market by storm.

Here, there and everywhere

We are faced with a whole range of scenarios out on the course, some of which we practice regularly and others that we don’t. When you consider the different types of shots you hit around the greens, it really does highlight how versatile your wedges need to be.

Versatility is key
We ask a lot from our wedges, from opening up the face to hit high lob/flop shots to moving the ball back in our stance to play low flying pitches and everything in between. It’s therefore obvious that you should be playing something you’re comfortable with from any spot around the greens.

If you’re yet to find that wedge, come and try the Callaway Mack Daddy 4 here in the shop. It comes in lots of lofts so we can discuss your wedge make up, plus we can test the different sole grinds to see which ones best suit the shots you like to play.

And the award goes to...

Always trying to raise the bar on previous models isn’t an easy job, but it’s for this reason that technology has advanced considerably in the past few years. It means we’ve never been in a better position to help you enjoy your golf, from drivers right through to shoes.

Come and see what all the fuss is about
This award-winning Skechers GO GOLF Pro V3 shoe has been recognised for its affordability, style and lightweight comfort.

If you try these on you’ll immediately notice the cushioned Resamax insoles, as well as Skechers’ 5-Gen lightweight and responsive cushioning. There are also leather uppers and an air-mesh lining for breathability that you’ll enjoy.

We think it’s obvious why this shoe was selected as one of the best of the year, but to see if you agree, drop by the store.
