Short Game Festival Week
Places are filling up nicely for our first ever short game festival to celebrate the biggest week in the golfing calendar, the open Championship. Tom, Michael, Sharon and myself have devised an itinerary aimed at lowering your scores this summer.
70% of your shots are played from 100 yards and in so this is the key area to make improvements. We are also running a "Wheelie Bin Challenge" and Putting championship all week.
Contact one of the Pro Shop team to book your place and route to better scores.

Open Championship Sweepstake
We still have squares available in our Open sweepstake. As normal each square costs £2 and we will randomly draw players to tickets once the field has been confirmed. Unfortunately we know that Rory will not be playing after his accident playing football but the field will still be full of stars and potential winners.
Pop in to the shop and add even more interest to golf's greatest week.
Captain's Day
Congratulations to Angus Campbell on winning captain's day with a great score of 42 points. Angus is having a great season although I was not happy with him getting another handicap just before I play with him in the Lombard Trophy!
I think Ted was delighted with the way his day went and it was great to see so many people at the presentation in the evening.
Do you know how far you hit each club?
Over recent weeks I have been conducting quite a few gapping sessions for members. This is where I or one of the pro Shop team will spend 45 minutes measuring your distances on our ES14 Launch Monitor and record them for you making sure you have the correct set composite. These sessions are available at a Summer special price of only £20. Contact one of the Pro Shop team to arrange an appointment.
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 May and June Michael and I are offering these assessments FREE so if you would like to make 2015 your best ever golfing year please contact one of the Pro Shop team to make an appointment.
Driving Challenge
Why not take our 10 yard challenge this summer? This is where we put you on our ES14 Launch Monitor and we believe we can get you a minimum of 10 extra yards on your Driver as I did with Louise. If you would like to take up the challenge please contact one of the Pro Shop team.
New in store
Our latest range of colours in the FootJoy clothing range have now arrived and looks fantastic. Pop in to the shop to take a look and update your summer wardrobe.
We also have just taken delivery of some special edition Titleist Pro V1 balls which celebrate being NO.1 ball at the US open for the last 67 years.
If you would like to reserve some please do not hesitate to contact one of the team and we will put them aside.
Price Match Policy, Non Stocked Products and Annual Product Survey
As I have stated recently 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.
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 . . Only this week I have managed to liquidate some clubs for a couple of our members so that they can look at new equipment
