We have had a really busy week conducting fittings for new equipment using our fantastic GC2 Launch Monitor in the new Swing Centre. 

One of our members to benefit was Les Trutch, becoming the first person to purchase a set of the new PING G-Series Irons. 

Les had a fitting and by putting a different shaft as well as altering the length, lie angle and Grip size he was able to see good benefits in both distance and dispersion. Through initial testing we are finding that these irons are very long whilst also being very forgiving.

Another of our members, Trevor O'Neill was also fitted in to the new PING G-series, but this time we were looking at fairway metals and hybrids. 

During Trevor's fitting I concluded a different composite of clubs would be better for his game, giving better distance gapping and ease of use. Trevor is going to report back in this newsletter to let us know how they are going.

If you are looking to upgrade your equipment for this season or assess your existing clubs pop in to the Pro Shop to arrange a fitting on our super accurate GC2.

Make more putts in 2016

AimPoint - Comes To Eaton Golf Club! - Wednesday, 16 March 2016 - Only a few spaces remaining.

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

Michael and myself will be running Group lessons for both Vets and Ladies in March and April. The sessions will focus on all areas of the game from Driving to the Short Game and will be an ideal opportunity to sharpen the game before the new season. 

The Vets session will be 9.30-10.30am and Ladies Session will be 11am-12pm on Wednesday mornings. 
 
Dates for these sessions are as follows: 2nd March, 9th March, 23rd March, 13th April, 20th April and 27th April. Book your place by contacting one of the Pro Shop team.   

Tuesday Late Night Teaching 

Michael, Tom and I are now offering evening teaching slots on a Tuesday so that you are able to get a lesson after work. We of course now have the Swing Centre indoor facilities at our disposal meaning light is not an issue. These sessions are available from Tuesday, 22 February and are bookable through the Pro Shop.

Get your Game Assessed 

The New year is the perfect time to assess your game and look at the key areas in your game needing improvement. 

This is where I sit down over a cup of coffee with you and run through a series of questions and get you to measure your own game. Once I have done this I will also conduct a swing check. 

After going through this process I will then propose a lesson plan that will suit your game as well as assessing whether your equipment is giving you the best opportunity to optimise your game. 

Looking at these factors as well as your practice habits and mental game is key in getting the most out of your golf both in terms of performance and of course enjoyment. Throughout January and February Michael and I are offering these assessments FREE so if you would like to make 2016 your best ever golfing year please contact one of the Pro Shop team to make an appointment.

These will be starting back up next Saturday, 7 November, so if you have a son/daughter who is interested in attending please don't hesitate to speak to Michael or alternatively a member of the Pro Shop Team for more information.



Price Match Policy, Non Stocked Products and Annual Product Survey 

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 2005 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.
