Shop news

Be aware!

A certain well known high street golf retailer was advertising that they would give you double what your old clubs are worth when you trade them in. However, we had a customer come in with a set of irons that were in great condition and we offered a fair price of £140, he then told us this high street retailer had offered him £86 for the same clubs so don’t believe everything you hear.

We guarantee that we will beat or at least match the price they have given you, we have the better deals! And PGA service and expertise, we also want repeat business as we deal with you every day so club wise you have our expertise including use of our GC2 launch monitor (the one they use on Sky Golf) price match guarantee, and any problems down the line you know we will sort it out.

Putting challenge

Have you tried the putt out challenge? For £1 you can have three attempts from 6ft to get the ball to stop in the hole perfectly meaning exact weight and alignment.

It doesn't matter the age, condition or brand of golf shoe that you want to trade-in. In all honesty, the worse the better!

It's a shoo-in

Many of you ask for our advice when buying something new in-store, so we thought we’d showcase our top shoes for 2018 in this week’s newsletter. Drumroll, please…

Skechers Focus 2

If you’re looking for a great blend of stability and comfort with a classic golf look between sporty and traditional, we think this waterproof Skechers Focus 2 shoe could be the one for you.

Skechers Elite V.3

If you’d like to add off-course versatility to your options so you
can go straight from work to the course, this Skechers Elite V.3 is a popular option thanks to its smart look and spikeless outsole.

Skechers Pro V.3

We’re fans of the Skechers Pro V.3's comfortable, waterproof leather uppers, plus we like its low profile cleats and responsive cushioning that offers grip with walking comfort.

It's 14 clubs for a reason

This week marks the start of a series of articles where we focus on making sure that you are getting the very most out of the clubs in your bag. A key way to do this is to look at your set as one, rather than breaking it down into woods, irons and wedges.

What does your set look like?
As you know, we’re big advocates of custom fitting for golfers of all standards. Many of you have taken advantage of this and are now hitting the ball further and straighter than you ever have before.

While this is fantastic, if you’re hitting your woods further you may have been left with a fiddly gap to your longest iron; likewise, if your new irons are a club longer then you will inevitably have a gap after your PW.

Look at your clubs as a whole
It’s only by looking at your set as a whole that you’ll be able to spot and react to any gaps, meaning you’ll have a club for every shot you could face on the course.

If you’re a fan of Mizuno like us, you’ll know they offer a great range of clubs to ensure you’re never stuck for options. The GT180 and ST180 drivers each provide powerful and penetrating flights, whilst the CLK hybrid and MP-18 MMC Fli-Hi utility iron provide us with two options to perfectly gap your long game.

Where are your gaps?
Mizuno also offers six other iron models for you to try and the S18 wedge comes in 13 lofts between 45-62 degrees so we can create the best set-up possible during a fitting or gapping session.

The myth that custom fitting is only for better golfers couldn't be further from the truth. Whilst the very best are looking for that extra 1%, a custom fitting for the average club golfer regularly produces results that even surprise us!
