Happy New Year

It’s hard to believe its January with the weather we have been having but the course is looking great and we are taking advantage of this mild winter weather. With the New Year underway we have some exciting products arriving in-store in 2019.

We have been accepted as a PING fitting agent and all the gear will be arriving very soon. PING have some great equipment ready for 2019, as do our other major brand Callaway. We will be stocking the full range of both manufacturers equipment, so if you fancy a try just let us know.

Just a couple of heads up; the Stroke Lab Odyssey putters will be in-store in early February. If you haven’t heard, Odyssey claim to have revolutionised the putter, as Callaway did with the Rogue Driver (superb by the way). I have tested and seen them and they are stunning and they really do make a difference to off centre hits. Have a go on the SAM PuttLab in-store to try them out when they arrive by clicking here.

KJUS clothing will be arriving at the end of the month. A new golfing brand with some of the most technically advanced fabrics on the market. I have one of their lightweight windcheaters which are incredible. Super light, shower proof and totally windproof, I actually don’t need a waterproof jacket anymore as this top does it all. For anyone interested I would be happy to demonstrate the brilliance of the products when they arrive.

Scotty Cameron fans, the full range will be in-store in the coming weeks and they have some fantastic new models coming out very soon. For those of you who love a special edition, I have something for you. Now this is strictly first come, first served, Scotty Cameron has released a limited run in the UK of the new CX-01 and CX-02 putters. I have managed to get hold of one of the CX-01 putters from America. Currently there are about 200 in the UK. I’m looking for £499 and if you are interested please get in touch ASAP as it will go quickly.

Don’t forget if you’re struggling with your game and you want to improve in the down season, you better call the A-Team, we would be happy to help. Anyone interested in group coaching please let us know and I can put you on the interested list.

To help with booking lessons I have been busy building an online lesson booking platform and it should be ready in a few weeks to roll out. You will be able to book lessons online, see availability and book services from the comfort of your own home.

Tour news

Close, but not close enough

It was a case of what might have been for Rory McIlroy, as his first event of 2019 ended with him in a tie for 4th place at the Sentry Tournament of Champions. McIlroy, who was in contention going into the final round, could only card a round of 72, eight shots behind eventual winner Xander Schauffele who shot a stunning course-record equalling 62.

The tournament featured 33 PGA Tour winners from the previous calendar year, so McIlroy can take heart that he beat the majority of a very strong field - however, he'll be hoping that his ability to produce a strong final round finally resurfaces by the time the first major of the year comes along.

Winter health check

A new year always brings with it a sense of renewed motivation when it comes to improving your golf game – and 2019 isn’t any different. So, before you head to the course next, go into the garage and give your equipment the once-over to make sure all is in order for the year ahead.

What will you find inside yours?

Is it half-broken tees and scuffed golf balls galore in there? Perhaps your glove is so tattered you don’t know which holes are for your fingers?

What about your grips: have they worn away so badly that you have a better chance at holding on to the shaft? Or maybe the leather upper on your shoes is beginning to crack?

Whatever it is, come and speak to us – we can fix you up with the best the golf industry has to offer, from tees to shoes to any accessory you can think of.

Golfin' in the rain

If last year’s “Beast from the East” taught us anything, it’s that you definitely need a golf-specific rain jacket when you’re playing golf in the early months of the season.

Indeed, you might be thinking twice about taking to the course when the forecast doesn't look great this month - and we don't blame you if you're as ill-prepared as the golfer in the photo above.

But we have the perfect solution in-store that'll keep you dry whilst playing golf in a downpour. Galvin Green's Austin rain jacket - shown in the second image here - has been specially engineered to keep you dry at all times thanks to its GORE-TEX fabric.

This isn't the only piece of stylish rainwear that we have in-store, so be sure to pop in for a browse next time you're at the club.
