New Time for Monday Ladies Roll-Up

Starting next Monday 19th March, we’re making a few changes to our Monday Ladies Roll-Ups. We’re combining the two sessions into one and Georgie will be running one group from 12.30pm to 1.30pm. We hope you can still make it and as always come along beforehand if you have time to get in some extra practice.

No change to the Friday Roll-Ups with Danny, this continues at 11am for beginners and 12 noon for Improvers.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Sign up for our 1st Junior Competition of the season

Our junior competition runs in season on the first Saturday of each month and our first event is on Saturday 7th April - our very own Masters event to coincide with Augusta! The competition costs £5 a head and takes place on the 9-hole course at Avington Park.

Get a grip!

Playing with worn and shiny grips makes it difficult to produce a fluid and reliable swing, which leads to mishits and inconsistent ball-striking. Come and collect your FREE Align Golf Pride grip in-store and you’ll feel the difference that a new grip can make immediately.

Important news

Our new era has begun

Last week you received an email from us asking for your help. It wasn’t anything too onerous or time-consuming; simply sparing 20 seconds of your time to complete your golfing profile.

The reason we’re asking you to do this is so that we can start sending you personalised content that is more relevant to your golfing needs. For example, if you’re a lady golfer with a handicap of 28 then the weekly emails you receive will include ladies product that will be suited to your playing ability. Likewise, if you’re a gentleman off 12, we will begin sending you content that will help you to get your handicap down to the holy grail of single-figure digits.

Thank you to everyone who has already completed their profile and for those of you who haven’t been able to as of yet, please try and do so in the near future.

Leather or synthetic?

From rain and thermal options to tour-favoured leather and more budget-friendly synthetic, there are lots of gloves for you to consider, which is why we’re here to lend a helping hand.

Tour favourite
Why do tour players choose leather? Well, leather gloves offer the best feel with the traction you need to generate power. It’s also moisture resistant so will stay soft for longer.

One glove that fits the bill perfectly is the Callaway Tour Authentic glove that is worn on tour. It’s made from premium cabretta leather for responsive feel with great grip, while perforations on the fingers and thumb increase breathability so you don’t get a sweaty hand.

Great value
Synthetic materials are stretchy and lightweight, so suit a golf glove perfectly. They’re often used alongside leather palm sections to enhance flexibility, while they should also be more durable than leather models at the cost of a little less feel.

Why not come and try the Callaway Xtreme 365 glove? Its Opti-Flex material is designed to offer great feel, flexibility and increased durability for improved grip in all weather conditions.

New season, new bag

We all look to freshen up our kit when the new season rolls around, but what about the one piece of equipment that houses everything? If you’ve been ignoring broken zips, worn dividers or tatty material, one of these bags could be the upgrade you need...
