First Cameron Cup match Last Sunday saw Club Captain Rob Cullen and I start our Captain and Pro Challenges for 2019. To make it a little more interesting we’d both decided that we needed an upgrade on our irons and so Rob stepped into the first tee with his brand new set of PING G410 irons and I finally had my Titleist AP3 Smoke irons in the bag (for the record, they look amazing!). Our first match wasn’t going to be easy as we were up against Dave Norman and Andrew Ford, who it has to be said was wearing probably the worst pair of golf trousers I’ve ever seen; to make it worse (if that’s possible) he even had a matching cap! After a very up and down start we managed to sneak ahead during the front nine and made the turn 4 up. Andrew and Dave rallied on the back nine leaving Rob and I clinging on to our lead. Thankfully we just about managed to hold on with the match finishing on the 17th green for a winning 2&1. Thank you Dave and Andrew for your company on and off the course and for the generous donation to the Captain’s charity. I guess the moral of the story is you win more matches with new irons!

Speaking of trade-ins... If your electric trolley is struggling to make it round 18 holes then it might be time you upgraded its battery. There's been a huge push towards Lithium batteries in recent years as they last longer, charge quicker and are more lightweight than previous Lead Acid equivalents. So, if it's time you change your electric trolley battery, bring your old one in-store and enjoy £25 OFF a brand-new Lithium one. |

| Boa constrict your footwear |
There's been two major trends in the golf footwear market in recent years: the first is the surge in spikeless shoes, and the other is Boa. So, what actually is the Boa Fit System and is it anything to do with snakes? |
 | FootJoy UltraFIT Boa golf shoe
|
|
No, it's nothing to do with snakes. Phew. Rather, the Boa Fit System has revolutionized footwear for the better and we absolutely love it. Instead of using traditional laces, Boa utilises a steel wire (virtually unbreakable) that is effortlessly tightened via an easy-to-use dial strategically placed on the shoe (seen above). To loosen, simply pull out the dial and open up at the tongue. |
With FootJoy's UltraFIT Boa, which is available in-store now, you will be guaranteed a comfortable fit every time safe in the knowledge that your laces will not come undone or get tangled throughout your round. If you haven’t already experienced Boa, then we implore you to come down to the store and try on this fantastic option today - no obligation. |
