Club news

ANPR / car park barrier

The car park barrier has been in operation for a few weeks now and is working well. As a further security measure and ‘members only’ privilege, we have added an Auto Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) camera. Members are invited to send me their car number plate, once entered onto the system you may approach the barrier and the bar will raise automatically without the need to enter the code.

Competition news

Knockouts

All this year’s Knockouts will be run through howdidido. We will be adding a Scratch Knockout. Sign-up will be through the system and will open today and will close on Sunday 31st March. To sign-up, members can log into their howdidido account and select knockouts from the sub headings - payment will then be taken from members green cards. Alternatively, members may book knockouts through the Pro Shop on the PSI or with the pro staff. The draw will then be on howdidido with each playing being informed of their opponents’ details and deadline date by email. By entering the knockout, you are consenting for this information to be shared. On completion of matches, members will be asked to inform the Pro Shop of the winner of the match. The draws will also be displayed in the locker rooms. Gents Singles £4 Gents Pairs £4 each Mixed £3 each Scratch £4.

75 yards? Up-and-down for me...

The majority of golfers know how far they hit their driver and irons with a full swing, but wedges require you to be a lot more accurate if you want to start shooting better scores. So, whilst it can be useful to know how far a full PW or LW goes, you'll benefit far more from dialling in your wedges so you can hit specific distances that you regularly find yourself with on the course.

Give yourself options

You'll notice that different swings with each wedge will result in yardages that overlap - see table above. This is important as it'll give you options when considering the conditions. For example, if you're facing a strong breeze, we'd suggest going up a club and utilising a shorter swing so the ball flies lower with less spin, helping it to penetrate through the wind.

Dial in with Callaway

We'd recommend having a wedge system of the same brand and model, so you remove any variables in feel and spin across wedges.

One model that we love is Callaway’s Mack Daddy 4 wedge. Its new Groove-In-Groove technology provides brilliant control and spin no matter if you're playing from the rough or the fairway, whilst 21 loft-bounce combinations give us a fantastic array of options to pick from when finding you the perfect set-up to improve your wedge play.

Be honest...

How many of you have gone years without replacing the grips on your clubs? For some of us, the only time we hold onto a new grip is when we've just upgraded our clubs when, in fact, it is something we should be doing at least once a year. With this in mind, are all grips essentially the same?

Golf Pride ALIGN grip

The answer to the above question is no. Many of you will have experienced a Tour Velvet grip on your clubs over the years (black with a white logo down the bottom), but the innovative new ALIGN grip offers so much more. Its raised ridge on the back, coupled with tactile texture, allows you to feel where your hands are placed everytime for consistent results on every shot.

Golf Pride CP2 Wrap grip

We know that a lot of golfers prefer a softer feeling grip at address, which is where the brilliant CP2 Wrap from Golf Pride comes in. Its high-tack surface and ultrasoft rubber offer enjoyable comfort and control on every shot.

We want you to experience these first-hand, so head in-store and claim a FREE grip today.

Spotlight: UltraFIT Boa golf shoe

If you are yet to make the switch from laces to Boa, now is the perfect chance with the soon-to-be-launched FootJoy UltraFIT Boa golf shoe.

The Boa Fit System delivers a fast, precise fit in just a few turns of the dial, providing you with lasting comfort from the 1st tee to the 18th green. Couple this with the usual quality and performance you'd expect from a FootJoy shoe, and you have one of the best shoes on the market for 2019.
