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

It’s Ryder Cup time

This event only comes around every 2 years and is without doubt the biggest golfing event on the planet. Which way will this years event go? I’m praying for Europe but you have to admit USA look amazing on paper and probably the strongest team I’ve ever seen. We are on home soil which will make a difference so let’s hope the Americans crack under the pressure and Europe are victorious. It’s live all weekend in the clubhouse so come along and enjoy the show.

We are running our own Ryder Cup style match on Saturday morning with the Captain and Myself as team Europe and Craig and Noel as team USA. The teams have now been drawn. Good luck to all my European team members.

Coaching news

Winter is on its way.

I’m sure you have all noticed the weather has started to change, leaves are coming down, it’s cold in the mornings and we’ve started to get rain again. Fear not at Kidderminster because if your ever going to make a swing change or purchase clubs then the winter is the time of year to do this. Having the studio we are very lucky, why not book yourself a winter programme with myself and let’s get your game in shape ready for next season. Below are my deals.

Junior news

The children are the future

At Kidderminster we are working hard to produce junior golfers. At the moment we have quite a few members but they are all very young at the moment but I’m sure we will reap the rewards in a few years time. Take a look at what we did on Saturday to help with their putting. It was great fun and it was amazing how quickly they improved.

Kids party

I know it’s early but we are starting to take booking for our kids Christmas party.

Layer up, autumn's here

Normally when you watch golf on TV, you see the world’s best showing off their golfer’s tan in their polos. When the Ryder Cup gets underway this week in Paris however, things will be a lot colder, and we’ll see golfers on both teams ditching the short sleeves and going for a golf-specific mid-layer to help them stay warm.

The middle man
One mid-layer which catches the eye is FootJoy’s Chill-Out Xtreme Hybrid pullover. What we love most about this garment is that it does exactly what it says on the tin – keeps the chill out - making it the perfect option on a colder day. One way in which it achieves this is through strategically placed fleece lining, providing added warmth for maximum comfort.

New irons to improve your game

Buying a set of clubs is exciting, but can be a tricky decision - you might love the look of the short irons, but feel a bit daunted by the longer clubs further up the set. However, you can always mix and match your clubs so that your long irons are more forgiving and your short irons are more workable, allowing you to strike approach shots from any distance with confidence.

Mix & match with Mizuno

Why not try combining the short irons of Mizuno's JPX919 Forged series with the longer irons of the JPX919 Hot Metal? The latter's enhanced forgiveness, with its stability frame open at the heel to improve launch and give you loft-appropriate flight, makes it an ideal candidate for your long irons. Combine this with the JPX919 Forged model, which features a more refined profile at address to give the feel of a player's iron and you'll be feeling confident of finding the green with every club in your bag.

Could mixing sets be the answer you've been looking for?

Spotlight: Titleist TS drivers

The hugely exciting Titleist TS2 and TS3 drivers have been the cause of some phenomenal performance gains for club golfers and tour professionals alike.

Titleist say it's stripped the driver down to its vital essence before building it back up to be faster, longer and better in every way possible. Well, there's only one way to find out - come and see us for a thorough custom fitting and put the TS to the test.
