Hi Everyone,

A good weekend at the club this weekend with the Grant Meek being on Sunday. Luckily everyone playing in the event got round pretty dry and everyone had a great day. Total amount that has been raised to be confirmed.

Only one of us away competing this week and for a change it is Jordan that’s away. He is away playing in the Scottish Amateur championships amongst some of the best amateurs in Scotland. 2 rounds stroke play then a cut into match play, fingers crossed he makes the cut.

With the weather still warm and muggy why not pop into the shop and few some of the lovely polo shirts we still have available to see you through the season.

Gareth and myself both away playing in the Kerr Investments qualifier next Monday and then the Deer Park masters on the Tuesday and Wednesday. Hopefully a few decent days golf in both events with both events counting towards the OOM. Mark also playing in the medal on Saturday and next Wednesday.

The regular £2 bonus ball is now back running for a pair of Skechers shoes so don’t miss out on that.

1 gap, 2 gap, 3 gap, FORE!

How confident are you hitting your long irons? The lack of forgiveness can lead to inconsistent strikes and less distance. This is when filling the gaps at the top end of your bag with utility irons or hybrids could be the smartest decision you ever make – but which is right for you?

Titleist’s brand-new utility irons and hybrids are really special, and you’ll be able to get your hands on them through us in no time at all. Why do we like them so much? Well, they are seriously easy to hit and offer unbeatable performance, but there are some things you should know…

U-500 and U-510 utility irons

Quite simply, these offer more distance than a standard iron but less spin than a hybrid. Both come loaded with tungsten for incredible forgiveness, with the U-500 offering workability and precise distances whilst the U-510 boasts a high launch and increased carry from a larger head.

TS2 and TS3 hybrids

It's time to stop thinking of these hybrids as rescue clubs and begin referring to them as scoring clubs. Both offer plenty of distance and an easy to hit nature, with the TS2 providing a higher launch from a wider head and the TS3 giving us more adjustability in an iron-like profile.

So, which route should you go down? Hybrid or utility iron? Let’s give all four a go in a custom fitting session and find the one that offers you the best performance.

A ball for every occasion

Let’s be honest: we're greedy when it comes to our golf ball, and rightly so. We don’t want to have to choose between distance or feel; instead, we want a ball that offers us the lot so we get maximum help on every shot.

Picture the scenario

You’re out playing a round with your friends and you've just used your ball to hit a delicate flop shot over a bunker to a few feet and knocked it in for par - top job! Following a short walk to the next tee, you’re then stood on a par-5 needing to smash your Sunday best as far down the fairway as possible.

This scenario requires a ball that is versatile enough to offer you spin and feel around the greens, whilst providing explosive distance and a high launch from the tee.

Consider Z-Star from Srixon

Fortunately, the clever folks at Srixon know a thing or two about golf balls, which is why their updated Z-Star and Z-Star XV balls are used by some of the world's best golfers.

Here's what you can expect from both:

Z-Star - incredible distance, softer feel and maximum greenside spin
Z-Star XV - great greenside control, maximum distance and soft feel

These are balls that you simply need to try, so come and speak to a member of the team for more information.

Spotlight | PING Glide 3.0 wedges

Smooth when it's rough

There's no part of your game more important than your wedge play.

If you really want to lower your scores and reach your full potential, improving your short game is key and these beauties from PING will certainly help you on your way - as long as you're fitted for the correct grind and bounce.

The Glide 3.0 produce greater spin, a softer feel and are more forgiving than previous generations. Enough said.
