Shop News

Another week has gone by and we are another week closer to the return of our beloved game!

As many of you may have seen, England Golf has released a pathway to help with the return of golf safely. Key dates that I'm sure you'll have pencilled in your diaries are:

29th March - Golf Returns! Fourball play is allowed and outdoor practice facilities, coaching and custom fitting can resume

12th April - We return in full! Pro shops can re-open fully and outdoor social areas may reopen

17th May - Indoors gets the go-ahead! Indoor social areas and practice facilities can reopen, subject to the rule of 6

21st June - Goodbye restrictions?! If all goes to plan then this is the date we are all longing for. All restrictions may be lifted, with reviews to take place on the return of rakes and touching the pin on the course along with the exchanging of scorecards again.

The full outline for the return of golf at Alnmouth will be sorted in the next week or so, look out for an update in next week's newsletter!

Coaching & Custom Fit

We are working with the golf club to outline how golf returns at Alnmouth and we will be able to coach and custom fit between the return of golf, and the re-opening of the pro shop.

Anyone wanting coaching or a custom fit in this 2 week period please get in touch using the button below and we will contact you as soon as we have outlined plans for how we come back.

Those of you who have already contacted us please bear with us and we will be in touch very soon!

We have a TaylorMade demo day booked for Friday 16th April 1-5pm. You can email us to book or alternatively, there will be a link in next weeks newsletter to book yourself in online

Golf on Tour

Collin Morikawa won his first World Golf Championship at the WGC-Workday Championship amid an outpouring of tributes to Tiger on Sunday in Florida, with players wearing Tiger’s signature ‘Sunday Red’ and Morikawa himself delivering a touching ‘Thank you’ message in his post-round interview.

Annika Sorenstam got chins wagging on the LPGA Tour as the 50-year-old Hall-of-Famer played her first event since retiring in 2008. Nelly Korda pipped Lexi Thompson to victory at the Gainbridge LPGA, but Sorenstam’s cameo (including making the cut) gave players and fans a moment to cherish.

Put some new shoes on...

We’re moving swiftly towards golf season and it can’t come soon enough, but have you got the footwear to fit the occasion? We’re talking about looking the part, feeling comfortable and getting the performance you need to play your best. Don’t you have a right to all of that?

FootJoy Golf Shoes now available from the pro shop

Available to pre-order today
FootJoy UltraFIT SL golf shoes

Well, FootJoy believes you do, which is why they’ve come up with the stunning UltraFIT SL shoes.

So what's so special? Well to start with, the soft synthetic uppers are fully waterproof, letting you play on in any weather - something that's important here! However, the most impressive feature is the Boa lacing system that provides the perfect fit each and every time you slip these shoes on.

If you're after a new pair of golf shoes for 2021, we couldn't recommend these highly enough!

Fill your pocket!

Filling your bag with balls you’ve stumbled across in search & rescue missions for your own will only get you so far. However, a lesser-known truth about golf balls is that you really need to know about the right model for your game.

Titleist Pro V1 or Pro V1x?

Let’s take brand-new Pro V1 and Pro V1x models as an example.

You'll no doubt have seen these sitting in the pro shop before. Well, for 2021 they've had a big upgrade but the question remains:

How do you know which one is right for your game?

Well, as you can see in the graphic below, the Pro V1 will give you a lower, more penetrating ball flight with a softer feel. Whilst the Pro V1x spins more in the long game (this helps it get that extra height), it is noticeably firmer around the greens. Oh, and let's not forget about the AVX either - the softest and lowest flying ball out of the three.

So, if you had to choose one to put into play in your next round, which would it be?

Thank you for reading and have a great weekend. David and Joe.
