Titleist launch their new golf ball...

We have just taken delivery of the all new Titleist AVX golf balls. The AVX stands for Alternative to Pro V1 and Pro V1x.

Pro's news

A great success...

Kevin’s Captains Day went very well, he enjoyed the great weather that Jane had on her day. The tee sheet was full and we had around 185 golfers playing in the men’s competition. The ladies section was also about full with all 36 slots taken. The men’s prize winners are mentioned in the results section of the newsletter so congratulations to them.

There was a BBQ running from 1pm through until the prize giving at 7.30pm. The evening was a celebration of the captains and their partners Ruby wedding anniversary which again was very well supported and the great news was that over £1,500.00 was raised on the day for the Captains Charity.

It's good to push

If you haven’t used a push trolley for a while then it’s definitely worth trying one in the not too distant future. In years gone by they were made of metal and were heavy to use, but that couldn’t be further from the truth with today’s lightweight options.

Nice and easy
This BIG MAX IQ+ 360 push trolley is a great option and tips the scales at just 6.3kg, which makes it easy to push so you remain full of energy to the last hole.

As well as its lightweight frame, it boasts a 360-degree front wheel so you can steer it to any spot effortlessly (watch our video to see for yourself), plus a handbrake and a spacious console that has room for all of your valuables and accessories.

This is just one of the trolley options we offer, so if you’re looking for something with more features or that folds smaller, why not pop by the store and check out our whole range?

Roll, roll, roll the ball

For many golf fans, this week is the most exciting of the year as the world’s best players head to the British Isles for The Open Championship at Carnoustie. Links golf throws up several unique challenges that many tour pros don’t experience all too often, the greens being a classic example.

Unlike driving off the tee or hitting into greens when they have to consider the wind, club selection and much more, on the greens, like Carnoustie’s 18th (above), all the pros have to worry about is line and speed. The latter relies on getting the ball rolling quickly and smoothly, which is helped by the faces on modern putters.

The Lynx Prowler for example, has Curved Face Technology that helps to reduce backspin at impact to create a smoother forward roll that aids consistent distance control; it also helps the ball to stay on line.

Spotlight: PING i500 and i210 irons

If you're considering a new set of irons this summer, PING has just launched two new models that are landing in-store in the coming weeks to complement their hugely popular G700, G400, and iBlade models.

The i500 is a forged iron (seen on the left) that will offer exceptional distance from a lower spinning, higher flying shot, whereas the i210 will provide precise distance control and shot-making workability for the better player.

Video of the Week

It's Open Championship week at Carnoustie, so Foremost TV caught up with past champion Henrik Stenson to talk Carnoustie, his chances at claiming a second Claret Jug this week, and his infamous battle with Phil Mickelson.

I hope you enjoyed the newsletter, have a great golfing weekend and I hope to see you at the club very shortly!
