Competition news

New month, new competition…

We’re very excited to announce our brand-new competition for April – starting on Monday 1 April 2019 (and no, it’s not an April fools!)

Our new Long Drive Competitions (for ladies and men) will start next week with a qualifying phase.

Download the Toptracer App, buy your basket of balls and you’re all set to enter with unlimited attempts. Players will then progress through each round in a knockout format culminating in a head-to-head on quarter, semi and finals day – Sunday 28th April.

We’re very grateful to Callaway Golf for their sponsorship of our two first place prizes. And if that’s not enough to entice you, we’re over the moon to be welcoming a very special guest to Winchester Golf Academy on Finals day – stay posted for further details and follow us on Facebook for announcements to follow…

Champagne Wednesday

Final Champagne Wednesday…

Today’s our last Champagne Wednesday and the BIG draw!

Paul Goldsmith got back to winning ways last Wednesday, with 8ft 1" in the first hour and was leading right up to the last 5 minutes of the second hour, when a certain Mr Bernie Akinla thought he would have his first go in 23 weeks of this competition... and only put his first shot to 2ft 2" ... to win the second hour and the Bottle of Champagne for the closest on the night - Well done Bernie.

Andy Ward's mark of 7" in week 6 remains the mark to beat on the last night, and of course we’ll wrap up this fantastic series with the big draw for all those Closest to Pin Players who have their ticket already.

Thanks for all your entries and good luck!

Shop news

Don't be one-dimensional

The ultimate risk-and-reward scenario: your head is telling you to play it safe whilst your heart is screaming at you to take it on. What do you do? It's these decisions that can result in us not fully commiting to a shot, which is never going to end well, so how do you ensure you make the right decision when there are a number of options available?

Proper course management can be the difference between a good round and a bad one. Knowing what shot to play and at what time is a crucial element of the game, and is one of the key jobs of a player's caddie on tour.

Do you need to take the risk as you are on for a good score?
Or are you trailing your handicap meaning it's all-or-nothing?

We can help you answer these questions confidently and enjoy better golf as a result. It may not be as glamorous as hitting 250+ yard drives or holing out from 5-foot for fun, but it's equally as important.

Get to grips with your clubs

We've been talking to you about grips and our latest promotion for a few weeks now, so forgive us if you've already taken us up on this offer. For those of you who havent, do you fit into the following statistic from a recent survey we conducted?

It's time to act

If you are part of this 71%, it's time to take advantage of this completely FREE offer.

We've shown you videos from David Leadbetter on the importance of having fresh Golf Pride grips on your clubs (click on the link below to view if you haven't already), talked about the warning signs that indicate yours need replacing, as well as the benefits that these two grips have to offer.

Now, we're handing the baton over to you.
