Competition news

Well Played Karen

Congratulations to our own Karen Young for her performance in the Norfolk Ladies County Championship at Hunstanton last weekend.

Karen qualified for the Matchplay stages easily and then produced three great performances to reach the final.

She lost narrowly to Abigail O'Riordan of Swaffham who made two eagles on the back nine which is pretty hard to combat.

Freehold Trophy

This Saturday sees the staging of the Freehold Trophy which celebrates one of the most important days in our history.

22 years ago the members purchased the Freehold of the land led by the Board at the time which effectively secured our future as a Golf Club.

We have 35 teams playing with a Shotgun start in both the morning and afternoon.

Look forward to seeing many of you on the day.

Head Measurement Technology is here

I have now introduced Head Measurement Technology (HMT) in to our Swing room which really puts us at the forefront of technology.

Our GC2 Launch Monitor captured all the ball data where as HMT captures all the club data like accurate Clubhead Speed, Swing path, Angle of attack and Clubface angles as well as Lie and Strike.

All of this information is so important when Teaching and Fitting. Book your session using the new HMT by speaking to one of the team.

The hottest picks this summer

Is it just us or has this year's clothing been the best we've had in-store for a few years now? Either way, there's no doubting that you'll be looking (and feeling) great on and off the course throughout the summer with some of these fantastic picks...

Doune polo

A traditional option that's been jazzed up with colour block sleeves and jacquard detail, the Doune polo is available in multiple colourways and will be the choice of many this summer.

Haddington polo

We simply couldn’t leave the Haddington polo off our list. The main story is its front hexagonal print, which oozes a timeless yet modern style for wear both on and off the course.

Dunblane pullover

The fashionable Dunblane mid-layer features a lightweight and super-soft combed cotton fabric, which is beautiful to the touch for the ultimate in layering comfort.

The golden combo

What would you say if we could show you a way of achieving greater accuracy and longer distance from the tee? You would say yes, right? Well, here’s your answer…

Have you been custom fitted?

First things first, the easiest way to achieve the holy grail of long, straight drives is to find the middle of the clubface every time, which is easier said than done for most of us. Following that, it’s all about launching your drives high with a good spin rate.

Simple, right?

It doesn’t matter how fast or smoothly you swing, if the clubhead and shaft are a bad match for the way you play, your chances of sending a perfect drive into the air will be seriously hampered.

Titleist TS drivers

So, the very first thing we need to do is get you fitted correctly. During the process, we will chat about your game, watch you hit some balls, and assess what you have told us in order to find the right shaft/head combination for your game.

Two clubs that we will definitely try are Titleist's TS2 and TS3 drivers.

Both have Titleist's Speed Chassis for incredible speed increases, with the TS2 offering maximum forgiveness from a high launch and the TS3 providing shot-shape correction.

So, rather than going for the easy online purchase, come down to the club for an enjoyable custom fit session with a member of the team.

Spotlight: Scotty Cameron Phantom X putters

When you hear Scotty Cameron, you immediately think about top-of-the-range putters that have been used for countless major victories over recent decades. Well, we certainly do!

The trend towards larger mallet putters that are forgiving and easy to control through impact isn't going away. So, here we present Scotty Cameron's Phantom X line, which includes nine mallet models that will take your putting to the next level.
