Ladies Captain & Vice Captain Challenge

Marian and Vicky challenged the Ladies section to see who could score more points over eighteen holes of better ball Stableford. Marian and Vicky proved to be mighty opponents by scoring 42 points. There was one pair who prevailed however, Sue Tasker and Sally Anderson amassed a very impressive 46 points to be the only pair beating Marian and Vicky.

Find the short stuff

If you’re an equipment junkie, there’s nothing quite like standing on the first tee clutching the latest driver – especially, with the marketing promise of faster ball speeds and greater distance firmly in your mind. The question is, should this be your number one priority with the big stick in hand?

With the US Open taking place at Pebble Beach this week, one thing the world’s best will need in abundance is accuracy off the tee. Penal rough, fairway bunkers aplenty and the Pacific Ocean combine to create one of the hardest tests in golf.

Introducing Callaway's Epic Flash driver

One driver that will be in a lot of golfers' bags is this beauty from Callaway. As well as impressive ball speeds and distance gains it boasts adjustable weighting, which will allow us to move the weight according to where you need it the most.

For example, if you struggle with a slice off the tee we can move the weight towards the heel to promote a draw-bias, which will help to counteract this miss and put you on the fairway more often.

This really is the most important part of buying a new driver as if it's not suited to your needs then chances are you're not getting the most out of it.

So, what are you waiting for? Come and have a chat to us in the shop and we can start you on your journey to better golf this summer.
