Hello Golfers,

We hope you're well.

In this week's newsletter, we ask you to take a look inside your bag and assess a couple of products that you're using. Could your game improve by the odd tweak here and there? As always, if there's anything that you see in this week's email that you'd like to give a try or get your hands on, get in touch and we'll be happy to help.

Enjoy the read.

May Prize Draw - We are going to run a prize draw each month and for the month of May we will give one lucky person the chance to win a custom fitted driver or £500 credit to spend on anything else that fits your game! Tickets are £5 each and can be bought through the pro shop in person, by phoning 01665 830231 ext 2 or by emailing us on the usual address.

Custom Fit Lead Times - As golf has reopened it has seen unprecedented numbers in custom fittings and orders. Companies are struggling to keep up with demand for the first time ever! Stock is generally good across the board but they just can't build fast enough! Current lead times are around 4-6 weeks with most companies, if you are wanting anything ordered please do it sooner than later to make sure you get it with a chunk of the season still left to enjoy it!

Fairway woods: what’s in your bag?

If I ask you about the benefits of a fairway wood, what springs to mind? Versatility is a big one for a lot of golfers; great for replacing a misbehaving driver or good, safe course management.

Do you trust your fairway woods?

So, do you trust the fairway woods sitting in your bag right now? Let’s be honest, if they’re not adding these attributes to your game, is it worth looking for fairway woods that will?

Lynx Parallax fairway woods

In its Parallax model, Lynx has worked to design fairway woods you can rely on. The Power Channel delivers fast ball speeds and, in turn, plenty of distance. When it comes to accuracy, the large clubhead gives you confidence at address, with the two-piece BiTitanium construction giving you easy, forgiving launch time after time.

Our fairway wood fitting service

But why just pick a club straight off the rack when our fitting service is available? You can try out various clubs in different set-ups and we can use our expertise to identify the fairway woods that will unlock your full potential. All you have to do is book below!

Golf balls: choose wisely

Finding a TP5 way out in the long grass is just about as close as you can come to a literal diamond in the rough. Why? Well, partly because nobody gives up on looking for top-of-the-range balls that easily. But it’s also because the best golf balls are rarely that far off line.

TaylorMade TP5 & TP5x golf balls with Pix

What's your preference?

When you’re topping up the old ball pocket, it’s worth thinking of your own game rather than just how good the ball is. Sure, TaylorMade's TP5 & TP5x both give you long, consistent flights and short-game control (not too shabby!), but they have differences and finding out which is right for you is important.

What about TaylorMade?

If you’re a confident ball-striker and you’re after precision around the greens, the TP5 golf balls give you exactly what you need: Incredible greenside spin and stopping power with the softest feel. Switching that up slightly, the TP5x puts more emphasis on distance, which makes the biggest difference off the tee. Both of these fantastic models are now available with Pix technology; a unique pattern designed to help you align putts for consistently better results on the greens.

The answer...

Don’t worry, this isn’t a test – You don’t have to know the answer! There are a wide variety of golf balls available from TaylorMade alone, and fortunately, we’re on hand to figure it out for you.

Something to try: Golfer's CBD

If you’ve glanced in the window of any health & wellness shop at any time in the last year or so, you’ll have seen CBD in some form.

Now, the new phenomenon has made its way into golf in the form of Golfer’s CBD!

Aches & pains? We’ve got the remedy with Golfer’s CBD body salves. First-tee nerves? The oils & sprays will take care of that.
