Studio news

Now open - Our new golf simulator and custom fitting suite

Captain Steve Smith and PNE player Declan Rudd did the honours at last night’s official opening event.

The sim is now available for hire by the hour and costs £20 per hour. Only £5 each if you fancy a 4 ball!
It was great to see so many of you last night and thank you once again for coming down.

I am delighted with the end result and based on the feedback we are receiving, so are you guys!

C J Hill and Tony Betteridge have carried out most of the work and a huge thank you goes to them.

So, if you fancy a practice on the virtual range, 9 or 18 at one of our brilliant courses, a nearest pin shootout with your pals or gapping session. Please call the pro shop 01772 700022 to book.

This will help you hit it straighter

The success of TaylorMade's metal wood range in recent years has been phenomenal and 2018 promises to be no different. The M1 and M2 ranges are being replaced by the M3 and M4 line-ups, both consisting of drivers, fairways, rescues and irons. The biggest talking point is Twist Face on the drivers, which really could be a game-changer when it comes to accuracy off the tee. Be the first to try the new M3 and M4 in February by getting in touch below.

PING Max out their range

The current line-up of G400 drivers from PING is fantastic, with a Low Spin model (LST) for a lower launch and greater speed, a Straight Flight version (SFT) for a higher launch that helps correct a slice, and the Standard version that sits somewhere between the two. To complete the line-up, PING is launching a fourth model, G400 Max, which offers distance through forgiveness, and will be available to try in-store this February.

Product spotlight

Product launches

Over the coming weeks I will keep you updated with the new product releases from my suppliers. All of the new kit is ordered so it is now a waiting game until it arrives.

This week, PING announced the introduction of the following new equipment:

- G400 Max driver is not replacing G400 standard, it’s simply an additional driver to the range.

- G700 irons are a premium performance, premium material and premium price point iron to sit at the very top of the PING iron range.

- Glide 2.0 Stealth wedges

- Vault 2.0 putters are some of the nicest looking putters I’ve ever seen.

If you want to see this product and test the range, then speak with me about coming on one of my PING trips early in 2018.
