All the new Nike shaft options are now hear and guys (and girls!)  if you want a driver that hits it long you have to try the new Yonex E ZONE driver

Its an awesome golf club. Come and demo it when you at the club next. Everyone welcome.

Its amazing how far the junior golfers at the school and the club have moved on.  The energy and effort that everyone has put into the programme this year has given everyone at the school a real sense of achievement and lets look forward to even more exciting things happening with the Junior programme next season.

Over half the field of players today had US KIDS junior clubs in their golf bags and boy do those clubs really work. I think the way each club is designed to fit the age and strength of a players gives all the players maximum distance and control regardless of whether they are 5 or 15 years old.

Well done US KIDS golf

End of October and the weather has been fantastic today. Galvin Green Polo Shirts and adidas golf shorts everywhere.

Do you need to improve your golf

Do you need an equipment change

The cleats under a golf shoe keep you stable.

While some courses are OK to let you turn up in your trainers, it is highly recommended that you have your own pair of golf shoes. Apart from being waterproof – which is critical even in hot countries as the courses are watered very regularly and are therefore very wet -they are critical to having a powerful accurate swing. Having the wrong shoes can affect your score dramatically.
On the base of a golf shoe you can see cleats. Also known as spikes, these pointy bits of plastic stop your feet from slipping when taking a shot. They also help a lot when just walking! Previously made from metal (hence the term “spikes”) the plastic spike is now by far the most common found on club a golfer’s shoes. They are more lightweight and are far less likely to tear up a green. If your cleats/spikes are worn or not substantial enough, you are wasting your time as this is your only contact area with the ground. If your feet are not steady it is impossible that your swing can be. Imagine a footballer trying to take a penalty in slippers and you’ll get the idea!
You need good traction. Your club is connected to your by your hands and glove. The course is connected to you via your shoes. They are the only points of contact in the game so you should make this your starting point if you’ve decided that this is the year your handicap takes a bashing.
As has often been said, “Golf is a good walk spoiled”, well if you don’t have comfortable shoes it may well be the case. If you enjoy a good walk and like to feel the grass under your feet then you should buy a light pair. Most modern golf shoes are light thanks to the development of ultralight durable materials so if you are still clumping around in your five year old thick soled monsters then you should consider the benefits of the modern materials found in today’s shoes.

So: Play golf twice a week and stay smarter!

But well done to all of you have still turned up to practise and play over the last few days either on the range or indeed the golf course.

Special well done to Sarah on her first ever venture onto the course today. Never ever been on the course and experienced the following: driving rain, hail, wind, sun, snow and to finish it off on the last hole thunder. Wow.

Just shows how keen this great game makes us in our efforts to learn it or improve at it.
