Why you should invest in golf lessons!

Have you ever wondered why the top professionals in the world, the ones who are competing for millions of pounds each week all over the world have coaches?

The pathway to playing better golf is completely unique to every golfer. There is more information available today than ever through social media and YouTube for example, but this information isn’t tailored specifically to you. This is the basic reason why you should invest your time and effort into golf lessons if you want to improve and enjoy the game more. A few reasons why you should invest in golf lessons:

1. It’s the best way to learn about your game
2. You can’t see what you’re doing, right or wrong!
3. Your current poor concepts could be seriously hurting your development
4. It’s an investment in yourself

With that in mind one of our PGA Professionals has some great options for you going into the season. Trackman lessons are available starting from as little as £35 for half an hour. A full 1-hour lesson is £55 with a package of three at £150…saving £15.

To book call us on 01246 411196 or click here.

1 gap, 3 options

The term 'gapping' is commonly used to refer to the yardage distance between each of the wedges in your bag. We want to break this thought process and get you to think about gapping for your entire set, because any unequal gaps between clubs will have a detrimental impact on your game.

Gapping at the top end

One part of your set that needs careful consideration is how you transition from your irons into your woods. Lots of golfers struggle to hit their longer irons and instead opt for a replacement hybrid or driving iron, which can lead to large gaps between clubs if you're not careful.

So, what's the solution? Well, take advantage of our services and professional advice, and we'll make sure you have the perfect club/s to fill any gaps at the top end of your bag.

What are your options?

TaylorMade recognised the problem that many golfers have in this area and brought GAPR to market to help them fix it.

There is a GAPR Hi option, which is most like a hybrid in shape and offers extreme distance with a high trajectory.

This is followed by GAPR Mid, which is somewhere between a hybrid and a long iron. It offers a slightly lower trajectory than the Hi and is perfect for hitting off tees or off the deck.

Finally, the GAPR Lo is for the better ball strikers as its smaller profile provides excellent shot-shaping and workability from a penetrating trajectory.

Get your kicks on this summer

Now that the better weather is upon us, it's time to pack those waterproof shoes away in the garage and step onto the course in a stylish new pair of breathable kicks for the summer months ahead.

Why not try Skechers' Mojo Elite?

No one wants to take their shoes off after a round to reveal a less-than-desirable whiff.

Fortunately, that is no longer a concern thanks to this shoe from Skechers, which has a breathable textile upper for all-day comfort.

However, that is not even the best bit!

Its unique outsole really is like nothing else on the market, offering fantastic traction and performance from a spikeless shoe.

So, what better way to prepare for the warmer months than by coming down to the pro shop and trying on a pair of these Skechers shoes before you head out for your next round?
