Cleveland and Srixon Fitting Event – SPACES AVAILABLE

Don't pack the clubs away yet

October has always been difficult to predict. One minute it's warm enough for just a polo and the next you need an all-singing, all-dancing raincoat. This is why having a lightweight mid-layer is vital to bridge the gap and have you covered whatever the weather throws your way.

Glenmuir's AW19 range

Luckily for you, the deliveries keep on arriving in the pro shop and some of the recent boxes contained Glenmuir's winter clothing range.

One piece we couldn't keep our hands off was this Crail mid-layer, which is more than stylish enough to be worn day-to-day too.

Pair it with Glenmuir's Ashurst winter trousers, which are fleece-lined for incredible warmth, and you have the perfect winter outfit.

Remember, we have a great selection of golf-specific clothing in-store so be sure to pop by and try on a few garments next time you tee it up.

Who had a pair of these?

I'm sure the shoes below will make a lot of you smile. It's been a long time since golf shoes looked like the first image and it's safe to say that comfort, style and traction have all come a long way since then - even if some of us think the overlapping tongues looked great!

Old style shoes

It wasn't just the daring uppers and striking tongue that defined golf shoes from yesteryear; flip the shoes upside down and the hard leather outsole featured single metal spikes that resembled weapons more so than traction pods.

Modern golf shoes

Skechers shoes are known for their outstanding comfort, and the Pro V4 golf shoes are no different. For us, there's nothing more important when walking between 4 to 5 miles a round, so be sure to try a pair of Skechers on next time you're at the club.

Spotlight | TaylorMade P790 irons

When TaylorMade launched its original P790 irons back in 2017, it's safe to say they went down a storm with golfers across the country.

They've been updated for 2019 and the performance gains are there for all to see. TaylorMade has added a tungsten weight low in the head to help you get the ball in the air easier, whilst its forged hollow body delivers amazing distance from a beautiful feel off the face.

We rate these irons highly, so pop in-store this weekend to see them first hand.

Video of the Week

When it comes to ball striking and finding greens, there are very few better than Ryder Cup hero Francesco Molinari. Enjoy this video as the Italian explains some his top tips for becoming a better iron player.

I hope you enjoyed reading the newsletter, and have a good weekend.
