Greetings from Mark Allen | Eaton Golf Club - PGA Golf Professional |
New Pro-Shop team
Starting next week we have a new Pro shop team. Myself, Sharon and Michael will be joined by Tom Clements who is starting out on the PGA's Foundation degree course.
I believe this will give us a great team with three PGA registered professionals and hopefully two qualified ones, with Michael in his last year of his Foundation degree. This should provide members and visitors with great service from a knowledgeable staff.
Product Review
I recently asked one of my product review panel, Trevor O'Neill to test the new Ping G30 Driver and here are his observations:
At the moment I am using a PING G25 driver and have been very pleased with it. Mark previously advised me to use a driver with more loft and a SR (Soft Regular) shaft. The one I have is a 12 degree loft and an SR shaft which works very well. My club head speed is around the 80 MPH mark.
However, I always like to try new clubs and in a moment of weakness agreed to try this new PING Driver G30 not really expecting to be able to justify a change. Unfortunately for me and my bank balance I found the new driver to be a considerable improvement on the G25. The driver is better balanced and in the STec form which weights the heel helps corrects the fade with which I am afflicted. I call it a slice but Mark is kinder!
I assessed the driver and compared it with mine and it went 20 yards further with a 50% reduction in spin speed but still retaining my ability to hit it fairly straight. It is expensive, £279.00 ,but anybody who is considering buying a new driver should try one before making a decision.
I would like to thank Trevor for his time and should add that he has since gone on to purchase a G30 for his own bag!
Price Match Policy, Non Stocked Products and Annual Product Survey
As I stated last week, 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.

As part of our buying plan for 2015 we are conducting an online survey to find out which products you would like to see in the shop. Please take a few moments to complete the survey and you could be the lucky winner of a pair of FootJoy AQL shoes!

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.
End of Summer Sale
We are still running our huge END OF SUMMER SALE with many of the members and visitors taking advantage of the great savings. By far the most popular deal has been the £25 Sale Rail on selected clothing lines in the shop. We have special sale rails for both men and women with only a few selected sizes left in certain garments.
Titleist 913 range of metals have some amazing reductions with the driver down to £199 from £279 and more big reductions on fairway metals and Hybrids
PING G25 Drivers, metals and Irons all have reduced prices due to the imminent arrival of the G30 range. Be quick though as stocks are low.
Michael started his junior coaching again and is now running two sessions each Saturday from 9.30-10.30 and 1-2pm. He is also doing an after-school club on a Wednesday afternoon from 4.30-5.30 so please enquire if you would like more details.
Have a great weekend,
Mark and Pro Shop team
