What a Ryder Cup! 

Despite the disappointing end result for Team Europe the Ryder Cup was completely absorbing as always. The standard of play was breathtaking from both sides with the American team just putting a little better. I think we also made some questionable decisions on pairings on the first morning and particularly the Saturday Afternoon. The spirit the matches were played in amongst the players was superb, even if crowd behaviour was disappointing. 

Roll on Paris in two years!

With the golfing season coming to and end this is the perfect time to evaluate your season and put a plan in place to work on and improve key areas over the winter. 

With this in mind the Pro Shop team have come up with a Winter Coaching Package to make sure you are working on the right areas of your game. This package is to be taken between October 1 and 31 March and comprises of six 1/2 hour lessons and three 1/2 hour practice sessions in the Swing Centre using our GC2 Simulator.

It has been a busy week in our Swing Centre including me giving our Club captain, Gavin a fitting looking at the gap between his Driver and longest iron. 

After analysing his data from the GC2 Launch monitor I recommended him a 17.5 degree PING G series Fairway metal and PING G series 22 degree hybrid.

Other Exciting news this week is that we will be receiving our Fitting Clubs for the new Titleist 917 Drivers and Fairway metals. 

We are now taking bookings for fittings so please contact one of the Pro Shop Team.
