Custom fitting with the new ES14 Launch Monitor
We have had a busy week, fitting clubs with our new ES14 Launch Monitor! Several members have benefitted from the statistics given, allowing them to compare performance of new clubs against their existing clubs.
Not only have I been able to fit for the best clubs, but I have also been conducting ball fittings. Our Lady Captain, Chris Gallagher had a Driver fitting last week after her previous driver snapped and I measured her swing speed, ball speed, spin rate and smash factor.
After computing this information I recommended her the new PING Rhapsody driver with an ultra lite shaft and the correct loft for her game.

Winter Short Game challenge nearly over!
The Short Game Challenge is proving to be just that! We have had lots of interest with several members signing up to have unlimited go's through the winter. Top of the leader board now is Finlay Heywood with 61 points which is an excellent score and could take some beating. There are just a matter of days left now, so hurry if you want to have a chance of winning a Vokey Wedge.
The first major of 2015 is only two weeks away and it is always an exciting prospect, particularly with Rory going for the final instalment of the Grand Slam. We now have our sweepstake up and running in the shop with a first prize of a £100 shop voucher so pop in to buy your ticket.
Tom Qualifies for East Region Order of Merit
Well done to Tom for getting through East Region qualifying school last week at Essendon Golf Club. He gained one of the 50 spots available assuring him entry in to all seven order of merit events in 2015. I will keep you informed throughout the season on his progress in his first season
I would also like to congratulate my team of Mike Ambridge, Mark Taylor and David Pike on winning the Norfolk PGA Pro-am at Sheringham last Friday. We shot 10 under to pip Tom's team on countback, which included our chairman Graham Edwards and Phil Sayers. I managed to finish third in the Pro's so it was a good day out for Eaton.
Osteopathic Consultancy Presentation Evening and new Product preview- Monday, 30 March
Tickets are now selling quickly for our presentation evening by Phil Mortimer from the Osteopathic consultancy on Monday, 30 March.

The Presentation will consist of three sections which will be the Bio-mechanics of the golf swing, Exercises and Advice. The Exercises demonstrated will be aimed at improving Spine mechanics, pre playing exercises and post playing exercises.

Mind Factor Evening with Karl Morris
Tickets are also selling nicely for our Karl Morris evening and I have decided to extend the earlybird price of £20 for the month of March. This really is a great opportunity to see Europe's leading Performance Coach at our own club. He will be presenting his "Mind Factor - How to shoot five shots lower" workshop. Karl has worked with many of the finest tour pro's such as Darren Clarke, Louis Ousthuizen, Graeme McDowell, Charl Schwartzel and Lee Westwood. This is a unique opportunity to learn some of the techniques used by these top players and apply them to your own game. Make sure you do not miss this great event by contacting one of the Pro Shop team now.
Our Pro Shop Events schedule for 2015 is coming together nicely with two more dates for your diary:
Watch this space over the coming weeks for more events this summer.
Get your Game assessed
I have been very busy conducting game assessments over the last couple of weeks helping members with the best Lesson plans for their games. This is where I sit down over a cup of coffee with you and run through a series of questions and get you to measure your own game. Once I have done this I will also conduct a swing check. After going through this process I will then propose a lesson plan that will suit your game as well as assessing whether your equipment is giving you the best opportunity to optimise your game. Looking at these factors as well as your practice habits and mental game is key in getting the most out of your golf both in terms of performance and of course enjoyment. Throughout March I am offering these assessments FREE so if you would like to make 2015 your best ever golfing year please click here to contact one of the pro shop team to make an appointment.
Price Match Policy, Non Stocked Products and Annual Product Survey
As I have stated recently please remember that we can source products 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.
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 cash. Only this week I have managed to liquidate some clubs for a couple of our members so that they can look at new equipment.
