Hello Golfers,

Enjoy the read.

How did you get on?

I hope you took me up on my little experiment about driving distances last week, as much is written about hitting the ball further and if you believe the golfing media the golf ball is supposed to be travelling too far. Hmm. That’s not my experience of playing and coaching golf. I’d love to hit the ball further off the tee and I’m continuously working on my game, having lessons, trying to improve.

That constant striving for better is one of things I really enjoy about the game.

Happy Easter!

I hope you all enjoy the Easter Bank Holiday weekend. What do you think to the Easter hat Jack and I made for his Easter party at his play school?

I know, I’m a man with many talents!

Enjoy the Bank Holiday and don’t eat too many Easter Eggs!

Studio news

GCQuad is here!

It felt like Christmas for me on Monday with the arrival of my new launch monitor and software. I hope you like the changes. Please see the before and after picture. I’m sure you’ll agree it looks brilliant! It now means we can offer you the very best in coaching, fitting and practice at Tyrrells Wood. The information that this launch monitor gives me as a coach will make a massive difference to the type of lesson we can now offer. I’m very excited to get started, and so I still have a couple of spaces left for our FREE taster session on Friday.

Coaching news

Putt your way to more points this April!

Last week I had a few days back at home and took the opportunity to take my nephew, Freddie, to the putting green for the first time.

Freddie is only 19 months old and is a bit too small to understand what putting is (he wouldn’t let go of the ball!).

But he enjoyed walking around putter in hand and definitely enjoyed the trip to Starbucks on the way home!

Learn to putt like a Pro in April

How annoying is it when you play really well tee to green but can’t make a putt?

Putting can very quickly drain your confidence and ruin your scores. Think back to your last round, how many three putts did you make? How many makeable short putts did you miss?

We spend so much time and effort working on our full swing that our putting can so easily be neglected, but improving your putting can very quickly make such a huge difference to your scores and your confidence.

Throughout April, why not get your putting on track with the Putt like a Pro putting package

The package includes:

3x45minute individual coaching sessions
1 free 90 minute group coaching clinic
Cost: £135

More wedge for your money

We all know that the quickest way to improve our scores if to sharpen up our short games, and with that in mind, for the first time at Tyrrells Wood we now have the biggest three choices of manufacture for wedges: Vokey, Cleveland and PING are now available! And if that wasn’t enough we also have demo clubs in all three. If you’d like to see what difference a new wedge could make to your game then book your free assessment.

Trust me, once the new 13th green complex is in play we’re all going to need a very lofted wedge!

Save money with Motocaddy

This week I have an exclusive offer from Motocaddy and their popular M-Series trolley (that’s the one that folds down very small). Click here to learn more. For a very limited time I’m offering a FREE travel cover and umbrella holder with any M series order – that’s a saving over £50! But hurry numbers are very limited.

Last chance to get a FREE grip

It's been great to see so many of you coming in-store to take advantage of this offer over the past couple of months and, hopefully, you'll have noticed the benefits that a new Golf Pride Align grip can have on your golf game. We will only be running this for a few more days so make sure you come and see us soon if you fancy a freebie.

Have you traded-in yours yet?

We've been running our Bag Trade-In for a little while now and it is safe to say that it's been a success. If you haven't already taken advantage of getting £20 OFF selected stand and cart bags in-store, simply by trading in your old bag, then you only have a little while longer as this promotion will end this Sunday.

A fitting finale!

Sunday saw the Final of the men’s Winter League being played. The scoring in the Final was as impressive as ever. The winners of this year’s Winter League and the Florence Salver were Greg Barnes and Lee Murray with an excellent 45 points. Chris Baron and Richard Gibson finished in second place and won the May Goblets.

Click here for the full results.

Congratulations also go to Ian Gale and Luke Atkinson who won the Paterson Plate with an amazing 48 points.

For those members who played in the Winter League I’d like to know what you thought of this year’s competition. Would you change anything?

Doesn't he look good?

There’s a well-known phrase: if you can’t beat them, join them. So while it’s unlikely you’ll be challenging for a Ryder Cup place later this year, why not join the world’s best in following the latest golf trends?

This Glenmuir Eliot sweater has been getting a lot of attention in our shop thanks to its modern take on a vintage look.

Like all of Glenmuir’s premium knitwear, it’s designed specifically for golf with its lightweight and breathable fabric creating insulation with breathability, so you stay nice and warm but don’t overheat and sweat.

Spikeless or cleated?

Having the confidence to swing powerfully comes from knowing that you have a stable base, which requires footwear you can trust. There are two types of outsole on modern golf shoes – cleated and spikeless – and we stock a range of both here in the shop, including these two fantastic options.

Opt for off-course versatility
With spring finally on our doorstep it’s a great time of year to consider a pair of spikeless shoes. This Skechers GO GOLF Elite V.3 model has a waterproof leather upper and is designed to enhance your comfort thanks to lightweight, springy 5Gen cushioning and a soft Resamax cushioned insole.

Choose stability and traction
Get the tour look as well as fantastic protection, grip and stability with this Skechers GO GOLF Pro V.3 shoe. It’s worn by Matt Kuchar and boasts premium waterproof leather uppers, lightweight cushioning and replaceable Softspikes that deliver long-lasting grip and stability.

New: Cleveland TFI 2135 putters

This range of putters from Cleveland Golf is a little bit special.

It gets its name from the sightline being exactly 21.35mm from the ground, which is the centre of the golf ball, allowing for true alignment even when your eyes aren't directly over the ball.

Couple this with a unique milling pattern on the face, which is different for each model in the range, that provides more consistent speed control across the face and you have a fantastic option to consider.
