Get into golf returns

Get into golf return to the studio every Wednesday at 5.45pm for an hour.

These have been very popular and are a great way to introduce people to the game. We charge £5 per person per week and these sessions are filled with fun.

If you know someone who would like to attend my sessions please get them to contact me on 01562 740090 or my mobile 07900987503.

Juniors are in full growth

Noel has been working extremely hard for the past few years in promoting junior golf. This winter we still have a regular of 50 children every weekend so it’s a great sign and also shows how good Noel is with the kids.

This year we will be making a few changes to the academy and we will structure the sessions slightly different, we have also entered the golf sixes which are small matches against other clubs and we are also in talks to two other clubs in getting a fixture to help them progress.

A massive thanks you to OGL who have sponsored the junior section this season and with their sponsorship we will get every single junior in the academy a junior shirt to wear and we will introduce more uniform through the season. Watch this space as I feel these junior will be amazing before long.

Shop news

What’s been happening in the past week?

We have now taken delivery of the new TaylorMade SIM collection. This collection has been given a stunning review after being tested. We have all the drivers, fairway woods, hybrids and irons available for fitting and the launch of the product to sell is mid-Feb so if you want to be one of the first to be fitted and have these clubs in your bag this season, give me a buzz or book a fitting on my website.

We have also taken delivery of our trial sets of Titleist clubs. If you would like to try the latest technology but would like it away from us your more than welcome to take a bag out with you and try every club Titleist has to offer.

We are also hiring these sets out at £10 per set so if you have a friend who would like to play the course but haven't got their own clubs this would be perfect for them.

January sales still on

We still have loads of offers on for January with 40% OFF all clothing in store and 30% OFF shoes and loads more.

Collect a bargain as these items are selling very fast, as you can see the shop is looking a little empty at the moment but this is only for a few weeks before more new products come in.

We at Kidderminster do not like any items in the shop having a birthday!

What’s coming up you for you??

In around 5 weeks’ time, we will be launching our bag trade-in offer where we will give you money for your old bag in exchange for a new bag ready for the season. We do have a great offer on Titleist cart bags that sell at £220, we will be giving you £70 for any old bag that you bring in, the bag will net down to £150.

We only have 4 of these available so pre order your bag today and collect in a few weeks.

Motocaddy trolleys

This year we will be taking a fleet of hire Motocaddy trolleys. These trolleys will be available to hire every day and all the trolleys for hire have GPS in the handles so a real nice feature. These will be hired out at £10 per round but you can buy 6 for £50.

If you would like to be part of our hire scheme just let me know, each trolley will be cleaned every time and will be ready and waiting for your game, no need to worry about forgetting your battery or if your trolley is not working.

Evolution...

It’s safe to say that the technology embedded into today’s clubs has helped us hit the ball further without swinging any harder. For some that might mean hitting the ball as far as we did before the effects of ageing started to take place, whereas for others it means booming drives 300+ yards and reaching par-5s in two.

Just imagine...

If you hit every club in your bag five to ten yards further, your tee shots will be longer and you'll have less distance remaining to the green. So, rather than standing there with a 6-iron you might now have an 8-iron in your hand, which gives you a much better chance of hitting it close.

We can help you!

This can be the reality for a lot of club golfers today, but only if you make sure your clubs are right for your swing. With lots of new products hitting the shelves in the coming weeks, now's the perfect time to try out a few different options and see if we can make a difference to your game.

Rainy season

Hats off to any weekday and weekend warriors out there. It’s great to see that no matter how cold or wet it is, you still venture onto the course to enjoy some time with your friends. We only have one piece of advice for you: be well equipped for what Mother Nature might throw your way!

At least this guy has a brolly! But, when it comes to playing golf in the rain, we're talking about a lot more than simply that. From the latest waterproof suits (jacket and trouser) to bags and umbrellas, it’s all key to staying dry with a smile on your face.

When it comes to your clothing, we recommend wearing ProQuip's Pro-Flex EVO jacket and trousers (pictured above). They're completely waterproof, remarkably unrestrictive and are available for you to try on in-store.
