Hello Golfers,

Enjoy the read.

Ryder Cup

Ryder Cup week is here

One of the most exciting events in the golfing calendar is finally here and I think it could prove to be one of the best ever.

Both teams are brim full of talent and players in great form and the course is fantastic so the recipe for a great contest is there.

My opinion is that Europe will just prevail as I think the course suits us and our players know it really well but we will see.

Tour news

Official - Tiger is Back

How impressive was Tiger at the weekend in clinching a comeback win at the season ending Tour Championship?

It was like the old days as he played beautifully and seemed to affect how the other competitors played.

I think he could be a thorn in our side this week at Le Golf National!

Coaching news

New irons to improve your game

Buying a set of clubs is exciting, but can be a tricky decision - you might love the look of the short irons, but feel a bit daunted by the longer clubs further up the set. However, you can always mix and match your clubs so that your long irons are more forgiving and your short irons are more workable, allowing you to strike approach shots from any distance with confidence.

Mix & match with Lynx

Why not try combining the short irons of Lynx's Forged CB series with the longer irons of the Prowler VT? The VT's extra forgiveness, provided by a hollow head design, gives you better performance on any off-centre strikes, meaning that your long iron shots won't stray as wide when you mishit the ball. Combine this with the Forged CB's short irons, which feature a narrow sole, thin topline and minimal offset for better workability and increased confidence lower down the set, and you'll be peppering the flags from your wedges up to your long irons.

Could mixing sets be the answer you've been looking for?

Layer up, autumn's here

Normally when you watch golf on TV, you see the world’s best showing off their golfer’s tan in their polos. When the Ryder Cup gets underway this week in Paris however, things will be a lot colder, and we’ll see golfers on both teams ditching the short sleeves and going for a golf-specific mid-layer to help them stay warm.

The middle man
One mid-layer which catches the eye is FootJoy’s Chill-Out Xtreme Hybrid pullover. What we love most about this garment is that it does exactly what it says on the tin – keeps the chill out - making it the perfect option on a colder day. One way in which it achieves this is through strategically placed fleece lining, providing added warmth for maximum comfort.

Spotlight: Titleist TS drivers

The hugely exciting Titleist TS2 and TS3 drivers have been the cause of some phenomenal performance gains for club golfers and tour professionals alike.

Titleist say it's stripped the driver down to its vital essence before building it back up to be faster, longer and better in every way possible. Well, there's only one way to find out - come and see us for a thorough custom fitting and put the TS to the test.
