Shop news

January Sale

We continue with our January Sale this week with a 30% discount on all current clothing in the shop.

Pay us a visit this weekend and grab yourself a bargain.

SIM Drivers Launch

We had our first shop full of boxes arrive at the end of last week as our first new toys of the year arrived in the shop. TaylorMade have launched their new SIM (Shape in Motion) range, but it is not available at retail until Friday 14th February (WOW what a Valentines gift that would be). However as a premium fitting account we have received a number of drivers, fairways and hybrids well ahead of this official launch date in order to allow you all to give the product a go and potentially pre-order yours to arrive on Friday 14th February (If your impressed with it of course).

TaylorMade have reinvented the shape of the driver to deliver both speed and forgiveness through advanced aerodynamics combined with a high-MOI multi-material construction.

Revolutionary asymmetric sole shape to reduce drag at the most critical part of the swing and improve aerodynamics.
Redesigned Inertia Generator places weight at the extreme low-and-back portion of the club for enhanced forgiveness.
Speed Injected Twist Face is designed to improve ball speed across the face and increase accuracy on mis-hits.

However don’t take TaylorMade's word for it... Make your own mind up! We have blocked off some times this Saturday 18th January between 2:30pm - 5:00pm in the Performance Centre and we will have five 30 minute slots for members to come along and put their current driver or irons up to the test against this year's offerings from TaylorMade.

If you’d like to help us out by coming along and testing the product then please contact the shop here. These fitting slots are completely FREE and there is no pressure to purchase. It’s just a chance to see how the new product performs (For you and for us too).

Alan took some time out earlier in the week to test the new SIM and SIM MAX drivers against his current M5 driver. You can check out his results below:

Evolution...

It’s safe to say that the technology embedded into today’s clubs has helped us hit the ball further without swinging any harder. For some that might mean hitting the ball as far as we did before the effects of ageing started to take place, whereas for others it means booming drives 300+ yards and reaching par-5s in two.

Just imagine...

If you hit every club in your bag five to ten yards further, your tee shots will be longer and you'll have less distance remaining to the green. So, rather than standing there with a 6-iron you might now have an 8-iron in your hand, which gives you a much better chance of hitting it close.

We can help you!

This can be the reality for a lot of club golfers today, but only if you make sure your clubs are right for your swing. With lots of new products hitting the shelves in the coming weeks, now's the perfect time to try out a few different options and see if we can make a difference to your game.

Rainy season

Hats off to any weekday and weekend warriors out there. It’s great to see that no matter how cold or wet it is, you still venture onto the course to enjoy some time with your friends. We only have one piece of advice for you: be well equipped for what Mother Nature might throw your way!

At least this guy has a brolly! But, when it comes to playing golf in the rain, we're talking about a lot more than simply that. From the latest waterproof suits (jacket and trouser) to bags and umbrellas, it’s all key to staying dry with a smile on your face.

When it comes to your clothing, we recommend wearing Under Armour's Portrush Rain jacket and Storm Proof trousers (pictured above). They're completely waterproof, remarkably unrestrictive and are available for you to try on in-store.
