FREE grip fitting

Call in to sample one of our FREE golf pride Align grips. The offer is: Call in for a chat on which grip type and thickness would suit your game, get a FREE one fitted on your 7 iron (for example) and try it out. No charge!

Everyone has different size hands, different length fingers and so on, so it makes sense that one grip size won't fit everyone. Maybe you need a few more layers of tape underneath the grip (to make it thicker) because you've got bigger hands?

Having the correct sized grip and the right type of grip (tacky, chorded and so on) is important if you want to play your best golf.

Golf report

I have to admit that I am not great on computers, one of the things that I have yet to muster is how to “Copy and Paste”, if I were able to do this skill then I could have saved myself some time and simply copied last week’s report as once again we experienced the same weather conditions as the week before, having said that, at least some of the guys did manage to get out for a game on Tuesday. Whilst it was not the largest field that ever went out on a Club night, I am sure they all enjoyed the chance to get a game in. In second place was Stephen Riley, his score of 29pts was good enough to push his usual sparring partner, Peter Langridge into third. I wonder if the Handicap Secretary will have a look at Barry Skillicorn`s Handicap as once again he was in the prizes, his score of 35pts was good enough to take first position on the day.

Once again there a much-reduced field on Saturday. I suspect that all the guys who finished in the top three all went out in the morning, as by lunch time conditions became almost unplayable. In third spot was young Daniel Ash with 36pts, second place went to Phillip Quayle, his score of 38pts was matched by Brain Leece, with Brian taking top spot due to countback.

The conditions were no better on Sunday, so again, only a small band of hardy souls ventured out. In second was David Finney with a score of 28pts. Derek Neild finished on top with 30pts.

As I don`t have much to report on this will give me a chance to remind everyone to get their names down for the Captain’s Dinner that takes place on the 27th of March. It is always a brilliant night; it would be great to see a full house so we can all show support to our Captain.

I am off on Holiday for a few weeks, so Paul from the shop will doing the report, apparently my other half has said that whilst we are away, she has booked me the chance to swim with sharks, I suppose it is better than playing against them every week. Hopefully I will see you all soon.

The art of putting

‘Drive for show, putt for dough’. No doubt you have heard this one a few times before but considering putting equates to between 30 to 50% of our shots on the course, it also has a large element of truth in it.

Odyssey Stroke Lab Triple Track putters

There's some clever technology out there to help you putt better. For example, Odyssey has taken the Triple Track Alignment from the ERC Soft golf ball and combined it with their Stroke Lab shaft to create this stunning range of putters.

If you're someone who struggles to line up correctly on the greens, come and try Odyssey's Triple Track putters at Douglas Golf Club. Better putting might just be around the corner.

The whole puzzle

If you're considering buying new irons this year, have a think about how they are going to blend into the rest of your set. The idea is to have equal yardage gaps between each club in your bag so, if you are going to treat yourself, it might be worth replacing a long iron with a hybrid that is easier to hit.

Take danger out of play

The illustration here is a good example of where a hybrid comes in handy. When our driver brings danger into play and a long-iron leaves us too far to the green, a hybrid is the perfect option.

One range that we particularly like is Titleist's TS hybrids. They look great at address, feel amazing and go for miles! Call us on 01624 661558 if you fancy trying it out.
