Winter coaching

Do you want to improve your golf this winter and see the results?

Now is the perfect time to start working on your game to get it into great shape for the 2019 season. We have recently made further improvements to our coaching offering here at Thurlestone by installing some video software to allow our students to see themselves during their lessons.

Such is the convenience (and warmth) of our indoor studio which has our state of the art GC2 simulator we are able to now show you in detail the real progress made after we have made our swing improvements. The results can include greater distance or a smaller dispersion of shots.

As a Special Winter Offer to you, our members, we have carefully selected some of our most popular lesson packages and discounted them, the only catch is that they must be used by 31st March 2019. With 3 Fully Qualified PGA Professionals with 55 years coaching experience between them to choose from this is a fantastic opportunity for all those wishing to improve.

Please note that Video doesn't have to be used on the lesson packages, we will only us it if it is relevant and we think it will benefit you.

Titleist and Srixon Christmas Golf Ball Personalisation

Many of you have putting in your orders for your Christmas Golf Balls with your personalised messages on, which I thank you!

Some of the wording on the balls has been quite amusing with text such as 'Provisional' and 'If you find this you are as bad a golfer as me!'

So to make this a little more interesting I would like to have a little competition. Simply send in your text ideas and the Proshop staff and I will choose the funniest. The winner with the most original (and funny of course) text will receive a dozen Titleist or Srixon golf balls of their choice with their text on.

The text can be up to 3 lines long with 15 characters on each line. The winners will be announced in next weeks newsletter as ALL golf ball orders have to be in by the 9th December to guarantee Christmas delivery. I look forward to you emailing me your text entries.

Tour news

Big Phil takes the bragging rights

The long-awaited match between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson took place last week and, with a combined 19 Majors between them, sparks were expected to fly. Las Vegas was an apt setting for the winner-takes-all event, and there was drama right up to the very last, as Big Phil came away with the $9m prize on the fourth extra hole after Woods had forced a play-off when he chipped in on the 17th.

Whilst the quality of golf wasn't quite up to what we expected, it was certainly a unique way of playing the game and could even be done again in the future - get in touch and let us know your thoughts!

Elsewhere, the European Tour got underway at the Hong Kong Open, with Englishman Aaron Rai fending off a strong challenge from compatriot Matthew Fitzpatrick to win his first title on the tour. Fitzpatrick was within touching distance, but a bogey on the 17th allowed Rai to take the victory on -17, with Fitzpatrick one shot further back.

The Belgian pair of Thomas Pieters and Thomas Detry secured the World Cup of Golf event down under in Australia over the weekend. The Belgian bombers finished three shots ahead of the home favourites Marc Leishman and Cameron Smith, and sealed victory for the first time for their nation.

Style for all occasions

In the past, golf clothing has had the reputation of being “for the golf course” with a call to the fashion police needed if you were to wear it anywhere else. Thankfully, times have changed, and we now have a vast selection of fashionable pieces in-store that you’ll be able to confidently wear both on and off the golf course.

We know some of you are still wearing your baggy golf jacket from years gone by, so here's our suggestion to replace it: Galvin Green's Lance jacket.

If you're shopping on the high street, you'll want an array of options to choose from. Well, this jacket is available in seven colours so there's something to suit all golfers.

Its stylish design means it can be worn both on and off the course, whilst INTERFACE-1 fabric is windproof, water repellent and highly breathable for maximum comfort.

Divide and conquer

Sometimes in golf, it's the little things which really grind your gears. Take golf bags, for example - the game can be difficult enough when you're not playing your best, but it becomes downright frustrating when you go to take one club out of the bag and the whole set decides to come out with it. It goes both ways, with sometimes just trying to slot a single club back in proving difficult and time-consuming.

Luckily, there's a solution - the Pro cart bag from Mizuno. This bag has a spacious 14-way top cuff with full-length dividers for optimum club organisation, so you won't be struggling to take them out or slot them into your bag. Not only that, it comes with a whole array of handy pockets to keep any valuables or apparel safe whilst you're out on the course.

Hope you enjoyed the newsletter and have a great weekend. Steve, Lorraine, Joan, Duncan and Glenn.
