Hello golfers,

Welcome to another exciting edition of the weekly newsletter bringing you all of the latest goings-on from around the club. Enjoy this week's read.

Pro's news

An honour and a privilege

Wednesday, myself and Noel attended the Foremost spring workshop at Kings Norton. During the day we learnt many valuable ideas for both the shop but also the club which will be used this year and all being well we will see a difference come the end of 2018.

On Wednesday I had the honour to be asked by Foremost if I could write and present two presentations to all the professionals that attend the day. I wrote a presentation on coaching and how to maximise your opportunities.

My second presentation was about retail and what I do in my retail environment and how a maximise profits. It was a privilege to be asked by Foremost and when professionals tweet, Facebook you and also come up to you saying how good that was it gave me great pleasure.

Shop news

What have we new coming to the Pro Shop and studio??

Callaway Rogue

This year we have decided to add Callaway into our range.

We will be stocking the very latest rouge woods and irons and have been approved as a fitting centre for Callaway.

TaylorMade M3 and M4

Also new for 2018 is the Taylormade M3 and M4 collections. Again as a fitting centre we will receive all the woods and iron fitting components a coupe of weeks before the launch so he the first to try and see what the big fuss is on tour.

We are also completely rebranding our shop with all new point of sale and a big push on the reasons and benefits for getting custom fitted. Once in store I’m sure you will be impressed how good the shop looks.

If you’re unsure of what the studio offers and what’s new this year take a look at my video here.

Club news

Welcome to Craig our new General Manager

On behalf of everyone in the Pro Shop may I welcome Craig Brown into the Club. Craig takes over from Sam as our new General Manager. Craig has a huge knowledge of Golf and I’m really excited to be working closely with Craig in moving the Club forward in the future.

Personally I would like to thank Sam for all the help and support he has shown me and the professional team in his time as manger and I hope you enjoy your retirement Sam. 

James is off to pastures new

James will be leaving us on Friday after nearly two years in the Shop. James has worked hard and has been a credit to me and the club but he feels it’s time to move on and turn his hand to something else. Thank you so much James for all your help and good luck in the future. 

A jobs is available

A position has become available in the professional shop at Kidderminster golf club.

Ideally I’m looking for someone who wishes to start an apprenticeship scheme that if successful leads on to the PGA course. 

At Kidderminster we have a fully stocked professional shop along with a eBay shop, trolley repair centre and a state of the art indoor swing studio with all major manufacturers having their fitting components available.

I’m looking for someone who’s extremely enthusiastic, willing to learn all aspects of golf and the business as well as develop through the apprenticeship scheme.

The most dedicated golfer in the club

Paul Wright no matter what the weather can be seen down on the practice ground all weekend

Last weekends monsoon still didn’t stop him.

What’s the Pro Shop staff up to this week?

It’s James last week so we will probably have a drink at some point to see him on his way.

I’m away next week for 3 days in Spain with Terry Francis, playing and practicing.

Noel is busy teaching and my dad continues to keep on top of the trolley repairs. Have a great week.

Conquer the fat wedge shot

Those of you who are brave enough to face the elements and get out on the course over the winter will know that it’s very easy to hit the odd fat shot, especially with your wedges when trying to be more delicate around the greens. This can be incredibly frustrating, but luckily we’re here to help…

Titleist Vokey SM6 wedge

Are you using the correct wedges?
We’re not just talking about if it’s a PW or LW, but are your wedges suited to your technique and the turf conditions you face?

This Titleist Vokey SM6 wedge boasts progressive centre of gravity locations that improve your ability to control trajectory when pitching, while its TX4 grooves have a face texture that boosts spin.

More crucially though, it is available in five sole grinds and multiple bounce options, so we can fit you perfectly for your swing and angle of attack.

Is your technique right?
If you think about the number of shots you hit inside 50 yards during a typical round, it’ll become clear that if you improve your wedge play you’ll start shooting lower scores.

It’s a part of the game that tour players work extremely hard on and their dedication to both distance control and technique allows them to get up-and-down so often.

If you want to improve be sure to ask about it the next time you’re in the shop.
