Shop news

Add speed with Titleist!

I now have in stock the eagerly-anticipated TS2 and TS3 woods from Titleist. TS stands for Titleist Speed and that’s what they promise to offer, greater ball speed and its fair to say the reviews of these woods are fantastic.

If you would like to book a fitting to try these fantastic new woods out please contact me.

PING Anders Waterproof Jacket

RRP £100 – now £64.95

This fantastic jacket is full waterproof and comes with a 3 year warranty. It's lightweight and breathable which makes it the perfect jacket for those all to common days where its raining at Holywell.

Do you need new spikes?

Winter brings with it rain, which makes the ground beneath your feet softer and more slippery. If your spikes are worn or even missing, keeping a stable base during your swing will be much harder and you'll be more prone to slipping. To avoid destructive shots like these, come in-store and take advantage of our Shoe MOT promotion, where you can get new spikes fitted for half price!

The good old days

Sometimes it's nice to reminisce about the good times. When it comes to golf, the days of persimmon woods, small clubheads and hitting balls which were hard as a rock are long gone - but it can help to take a trip down memory lane to remind us of just how much technology has developed, particularly in the case of drivers.

Time tunnel

Take Srixon for example; you might have been lucky enough to own its 'revolutionary' W-506 driver way back in 2006. A 450cc clubhead, no adjustability and a titanium construction meant the W-506 was possibly one of the most intimidating clubs on the market - which made it even sweeter when you crushed one right down the middle.

Fast-forward to the present day and Srixon has released its most technologically advanced driver to date in the form of Z 785. Its lightweight carbon crown is far more forgiving than the W-506's titanium equivalent, and the Quick Tune system on the Z 785 means you can adjust the club to your individual swing, giving you straighter, longer drives off the tee.

So, whilst it's nice to think about your first ever driver, it's probably time to get up to speed with the latest models such as the Z 785. Who knows? Maybe in another 10 years time, you'll be looking back on the Z 785 with as much fondness as the W-506!

How times have changed

Remember when you used to get ready for a round of golf during winter - you'd put on your vest, followed by a turtleneck, followed by a polo, then a jumper, before finally putting on your jacket. Not only was it a complete pain in terms of trying to stay warm without overheating, but it also made swinging the club near impossible - not a great combination if you wanted to enjoy your 18 holes.

Luckily, we've come a long way since then and we're now able to wear golf-specific garments which are not only comfortable, but also designed to keep your movement as natural as possible. So, instead of donning 5 or 6 layers during your round of golf, all you'll need is three.

Over your polo, we'd recommend wearing a pullover like this ProQuip Merino Lined jumper. Its Italian Merino Wool helps you stay comfortable throughout your whole round, whilst ProQuip's pioneering water repellent feature means you'll be well protected from the cold, wind and rain.

For those winter rounds, you'll also need a waterproof jacket as your final layer, like this Pro-Flex EVO jacket. The Four-Way stretch material gives you total freedom of movement, whilst the full-length waterproof zips allow for easy access in even the wettest conditions.
