New fittings
Some of our members have been taking delivery of new fitted clubs this week. Mark Harvey, Pete Joyner and our Vice Captain, Anthony Trafford are all the proud new owners of a new Titleist 917 Driver. This club has been performing particularly well on our GC2 launch monitor and with its many different setting can suit such a wide range of swing characteristics. If you would like to book a fitting with the 917 pop in to the shop and speak to one of the team.

Are golfers fore-going safety?
It's time for a rant. From our very first adventures onto a golf course we're encouraged, not demanded, to scream 'fore' if our ball is going off line. We've all had to do it, both for ourselves and playing partners, when we see a miss-hit flying towards another golfer on the course who we're frantically hoping would just move out of the way.
So why is it that when the tour pros skew one left or right, where hundreds of spectators are lined up along the edge of the rough, do they not see the importance of shouting 'fore'? Take Pat Perez for example. On Sunday he saw a stray tee shot clatter into the head of a spectator on the 12th, before firing another loose drive into the leg of another spectator on the 15th. And guess what - no shout of 'fore' on either occasion.
Perez isn't in the minority either, it happens far too often. Shane Lowry's tweet (seen above) hits the nail on the head. Let's hope more players follow his mindset.
