Fitting centre news   

It's here - Eaton Golf Club Swing Centre

I would like to thank everyone who supported our launch week between Christmas and New Year with lots of members trying out our new facility. We ran a nearest the pin competition on the 10th Hole at Congressional GC which was a 159 yard shot over water and the eventual winner was one of our juniors, Ewan Marshall.

This was much to the disappointment of our vice captain, Gavin Sargent who was leading for ages with 4ft 11". Ewan actually hit a 7 wood to 4ft 7" which was pretty impressive and won a sleeve of Srixon Balls for his efforts. Everyone who had a go throughout the week was amazed at the accuracy of the GC2 Launch Monitor and the immediate feedback it gives you on your shots.

Not only have we been busy with Club fittings, Gapping Sessions, Practice sessions and ball fits but some members have already taken advantage of our Golf Courses on the Simulator. 

Some of the first to have a go were Fin Heywood and his father Carl who played 9 holes at Royal Birkdale last week when it was raining outside and really enjoyed the experience. It only took them about 1 hour to play the nine holes and that was their first go. 

Remember we have a range of courses including: 

The Belfry (Brabazon), Carnoustie, The Celtic Manor Resort, Kingsbarns, Oakmont Country Club, Royal Birkdale, Royal Troon, Turnberry - Ailsa Course 

It's a great way of avoiding the winter weather and having a game in the warm and dry.

Swing Centre Winter League 

With the introduction of the new Swing Centre we have decided to run a Winter League over the next 3 months, January, February and March. This will take a fourball better-ball stableford pairs format over 9 holes, across 3 different courses with the idea to complete one course each month. 

The three courses are: The Brabazon at The Belfry, Kingsbarns and The 2010 Course at Celtic Manor. Your 3 stableford scores across these courses will then be combined to give an overall total, and a position on our Winter League Leaderboard. 

There will Shop Vouchers for the top 3 pairs! The 3 rounds can be played at any time and booking for this is taken in the Pro Shop (we are advising pairs to join another pair to make up a 4 on each round). The cost to participate is £50 per pair and the closing date for signing up is Sunday, 17 January. We have already taken our first few bookings, so pop along to the Pro Shop to book your place now!

AimPoint - Comes To Eaton Golf Club! - Wednesday, 16 March 2016 

Jamie Donaldson runs AimPoint Clinics across the globe for a wide range of golfers, from those on tour to the 28 handicapper looking to break 100. AimPoint Putting clinics are a fantastic way to learn the methods of the AimPoint Green Reading system which has transformed the putting of those who use it, many saying they enjoy the game more with increased putting confidence and putts holed.

Jamie currently teaches out of Brocket Hall Golf Club and Woburn Golf Club but will be delivering two clinics here at Eaton Golf Club on Wednesday, 16 March 2016, a morning and an afternoon session. Each session lasts 2 hours within which you learn either the AimPoint Express Level 1 green reading method. This is used by some of the top players in the world including Ian Poulter, Adam Scott, Justin Rose and Andy Sullivan to name a few 

There are only 8 spaces per session at a cost of £99 per person. Want to book your slot? Pop in to the Pro Shop to pay and reserve your place.

Do you know how far you hit the ball?


Over recent weeks I have been conducting quite a few gapping sessions for members. This is where I or one of the pro shop team will spend 45 minutes measuring your distances on our ES14 Launch Monitor and record them for you making sure you have the correct set composite. These sessions are available at 
a special price of only £20. Contact one of the Pro Shop team to arrange an appointment.

Price Match Policy and Non Stocked Products

As I have stated recently please remember that we can source product we do not stock and will always endeavour to price match where we can. Your business is very important to us and we appreciate every opportunity to secure it.

I would also like to make you aware that as part of Foremost Golf, the UK's largest buying group, we can source products through our central warehousing even if we don't stock the product on the shop floor.

EBAY Shop

We now have an EBAY shop, if you have any old clubs post 2000 this is the time to sell them. All you need to do is drop them into the shop, we will assess them, put them straight onto our site at a sensible selling price and if they sell the money goes on your golf shop account. You will be surprised just how quick we can turn your old clubs into ££££'s . . 

Only this week I have managed to liquidate some clubs for a couple of our members so that they can look at new equipment.

Finally, we here in the pro shop would just like to say Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thank you for all of your support throughout the year, and we wish you the best for 2016.
