Start 2019 the right way

With Christmas and New Year all done and dusted, now is the time to focus on your game, building up to the start of the 2019 season. You may see the colder months as a time to put off practice but it’s the perfect period to be working on the areas of your game that need most work. You want your game to be in the best possible shape when the start of the season arrives.

If you have any particular area of your game that would like to work on then get in touch. Call 01443 226901 or click here to book your lesson.

Pro's news

Close, but not close enough

It was a case of what might have been for Rory McIlroy, as his first event of 2019 ended with him in a tie for 4th place at the Sentry Tournament of Champions. McIlroy, who was in contention going into the final round, could only card a round of 72, eight shots behind eventual winner Xander Schauffele who shot a stunning course-record equalling 62.

The tournament featured 33 PGA Tour winners from the previous calendar year, so McIlroy can take heart that he beat the majority of a very strong field - however, he'll be hoping that his ability to produce a strong final round finally resurfaces by the time the first major of the year comes along.

Winter health check

A new year always brings with it a sense of renewed motivation when it comes to improving your golf game – and 2019 isn’t any different. So, before you head to the course next, go into the garage and give your equipment the once-over to make sure all is in order for the year ahead.

What will you find inside yours?

Is it half-broken tees and scuffed golf balls galore in there? Perhaps your glove is so tattered you don’t know which holes are for your fingers?

What about your grips: have they worn away so badly that you have a better chance at holding on to the shaft? Or maybe the leather upper on your shoes is beginning to crack?

Whatever it is, come and speak to us – we can fix you up with the best the golf industry has to offer, from tees to shoes to any accessory you can think of.

Golfin' in the rain

If last year’s “Beast from the East” taught us anything, it’s that you definitely need a golf-specific rain jacket when you’re playing golf in the early months of the season.

Indeed, you might be thinking twice about taking to the course when the forecast doesn't look great this month - and we don't blame you if you're as ill-prepared as the golfer in the photo above.

But we have the perfect solution in-store that'll keep you dry whilst playing golf in a downpour. PING’s Zero Gravity jacket - shown in the second photo here - comes with a matching pant and is both wind and water resistant, helping to keep you protected during the most brutal of conditions.

This isn't the only piece of stylish rainwear that we have in-store, so be sure to pop in for a browse next time you're at the club.

Video of the Week

Avid Sky Sports Golf viewers amongst you will recognise Claude Harmon, who works with the likes of Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka on Tour. In this video, one of the world's best coaches tells us how to hit the ball further by creating more speed during your swing.

Thank you for reading and have a great weekend. Will and Aled.
