The Golf Team

Hello Golfers,

Academy news

A new look and a new focus for our Golf Shop …

We’re excited to reveal our brand-new custom fit wall as part of our golf shop refurbishment!

Gone are the off-the-shelf clubs, and instead we have the very latest and the very best components from TaylorMade, Callaway and PING. Our philosophy at Winchester Golf has always been that to get the most out of your game, a set of custom fit clubs is essential.

No matter if you are an accomplished player or a beginner, selecting the right set of clubs is one of the most important decisions you will ever make towards improving and enjoying your golf.

We fit everything from the tee to the green, and we have five different fitting packages that range from a putter fitting that lasts 30 minutes to a full bag fitting that lasts two hours. If you’re short on time, we even offer a brand-new express custom fit.

If you have any questions about custom fitting, would like to learn more, or would like to book an appointment, talk to any of our Winchester Golf Academy team members or call us on 01962 885254.

Change is good

Anything that makes golf that little bit easier is a good thing in our eyes and if improving your iron play is up there on your to-do list then you’re in luck, as we have a treat we want to share with you.

TaylorMade SIM irons

TaylorMade's brand new SIM Max and SIM Max OS irons are certainly worth trying out this year as they offer us all we need to make a big difference to our game.

Taking the best game improvement technology from the M5 and M6 - such as the Speedbridge. - the two SIM models also feature a new ECHO Dampening System so the clubs sound similar to a forged iron on impact with a thinner face for more accuracy on mis-hits.

If you are looking for more consistency and control in 2020 come and give these fantastic irons a try at your local pro shop.

I would walk 500 miles

Okay, the title is a slight exaggeration but the simple truth is that we all cover a good distance when playing a round of golf, especially those playing army golf! But, how far do we actually walk? Well, we got the calculator out to have a go at figuring it out for real.

Golf courses average between 6,500 and 6,800 yards. For argument’s sake, let’s split that down the middle at 6,650 yards, which means you would cover 3.78 miles (6.08km if you prefer) if you walked in a straight line.

However, factors such as the distance from green to tees, your ability, and how often you're searching for lost balls all come into play. So, in most cases, you can expect to walk between 50 and 70% further than the yardage length of the course!

All of this means one thing in our eyes - make sure you're wearing comfortable footwear out on the course. We have a great selection in the pro shop so come down and try on a few pairs before your next round.

Product spotlight

Callaway Mavrik driver

This driver has been in-store for over a week now and it's safe to say we're a little bit excited.

From its Cyclone Aero shape that increases clubhead speed to its A.I. designed Flash Face for faster ball speeds, everything about the Mavrik driver will help you hit the ball further than your current toy.

With three models in the range, including the incredibly forgiving Mavrik Max driver, come and speak to us about which is best suited to your game.
