We have been really busy at the club this week conducting lessons, club fits and Gap tests. I have had quite a few members starting their winter lesson Plans as well as looking at new equipment using our ES14 Launch Monitor. If you would like have a session on the Launch monitor please do not hesitate to contact one of the Pro Shop team.
Successful Fittings!
Since the arrival of the new Titleist Irons and Hybrids we have seen a really positive response to the products and the first fittings have been completed! Our Junior Captain, Matt Campbell ventured up to the Titleist Fitting Centre at St Ives and was custom fitted for a set of the new 716 AP1 irons and two SM5 wedges.
By getting the correct head design and shaft for Matt the Titleist fitters were able to gain Matt on average a 7-10 yard gain in his iron distances, whilst maintaining a tight dispersion! Matt has received the clubs this week for his 18th Birthday and is one of the very first owners of the new irons! I also conducted two further successful fittings this week with Colin Brown and Mike Ambridge. Both customers decided on the 716 AP2 Forged Irons; Mike also choose to add three T-MB utility irons in 2, 3 and 4 iron replacements and Colin added two 816 hybrids at the top of his bag.
The T-MB utility irons maintain the look of a traditional iron, but are hollow inside to provide slightly more forgiveness and feel! We've been provided with a demo in this iron and it's well worth a try, but be warned they're extremely pretty! In all cases the correct shaft and weight have been key in providing consistency and distance to all 3 player's game! Why not see if you're using the correct shaft for your game?
Winter Coaching Packages
Why not start early and let Michael or myself help you to get your game in to shape for next season. Our winter Coaching package consists of an initial Game Assessment and then six lessons over the Winter months, ideally one per month, aimed at getting you ready for next Spring.
The Winter months are the best time to work on your game so speak to one of the Pro Shop team to book your assessment.
Junior Captain's Day
This Thursday saw Matt Campbell host his Junior Captain's Day, and although it began slightly damply the day was a great success! The competition was an 18 Hole Greensome Stableford and was won by the Junior Captain himself and partner Josh Bunn, with a score of 39 points! This is the third year in a row the Captain has featured in the winning team! Congratulations to Matt on a great year as Captain and what a fitting way for him to bow out of Junior Golf at the end of this year.
Junior Academy Coaching
As I'm sure some of you are aware Michael runs Junior Academy Coaching sessions on each Saturday through the school term times. Ther,e are 2 classes, one at 10-11am and the other at 1-2pm. These will be starting back up next Saturday, 7 November, so if you have a son/daughter who is interested in attending please don't hesitate to speak to Michael or alternatively a member of the Pro Shop Team for more information.
David Wilson completes Half Marathon
Last year, member of 15 years Mike Wilson was diagnosed with cancer last year. I'm sure we are all pleased to see that his treatment has been successful and he is now back on our golf course! His son and my former assistant David completed the Birmingham Half Marathon on the 18th October in two hours and two minutes. He was raising money for Cancer Research UK and he would like to thank everyone who has donated. You can still donate to this very worthy cause at the following link - https://www.justgiving.com/CornishRattlers/
Do you know how far you hit the ball?
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 special price of only £20. Contact one of the Pro Shop team to arrange an appointment.
Our new Titleist AP1 and AP2 716 Demo cart has now arrived as well as the new 816 hybrids. We are now taking fitting bookings for these clubs, so if you would like to be among the first people to try them talk to myself, Michael, Tom or Sharon.
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.
