Pros news   

Latest News

As the boys are off to Portugal this weekend it's down to Mrs D to step into the hot seat as Guest Editor. I'll add it to the list of all the other jobs I will be completing over the next five days, but as usual you'll not hear me moaning.

Club news   

Members News 

At Heysham the Winter League is now over for another season, a reminder for syndicate organisers to get your syndicate details to us by Sunday so that payments can be made to your accounts. This Sunday we have a team Texas Scramble, bookings can be made via BRS or call into the pro shop.

Portugal Trip

The boys are on their way, airport beers on Facebook, with a slight hitch with John Dobson (scheduled to return home two days ago) fog bound on a rig in the middle of the North Sea. Gavin Thomson and Carl Sadler were delighted with the extra legroom, and Ryan with his dodgy knee panicking about stepping into his shoes and actually playing three days of golf, instead of driving a buggy full of Superbock round Vilamoura. 

NEWS JUST IN!

John has arrived at Aberdeen so will be joining the boys on the 1st tee tomorrow lunchtime. A few gallons of Superbock to catch up on tomorrow night Dobbo!
 
Swing Lounge

Another busy week for the lounge and I actually played a few holes with eldest son Callum and thoroughly enjoyed it, despite the calls of "jammy putt" and "I shouldn't be giving you a shot on this hole". Great mother and son bonding and I managed a win too.

The website is in the final stages of construction together with the online booking system, for now continue bookings with us on the phone, Facebook message or calling into the pro shop.

Steve Jones made his return to golf in the lounge this week after a couple of months off, with Bob Jonas spectating - the banter was great, the golf not so! Unfortunately, Steve could smell the beer and didn't make it past the 14th yet again.

We have had some great feedback from members and visitors, but we are still looking for testimonials and any photos you have in the Swing Lounge for the new website. If you can spare a few minutes, write us a few words and call into the shop or click here to drop us an email.

Upcoming Events

This year we are looking to add events regularly to help you with your golf and also test out lots of exciting equipment with no obligation to buy. Currently we have some fitting days scheduled, check them out below, these days will also have special offers available on the day!

Cobra Fitting Day - Saturday, 2 April (11am - 3pm)

Cobra have gone from strength to strength, so come along and test the new King F6 line up as well as it's famous zero CG driver, the King Ltd. This year I am playing Cobra and I am excited for you to join me in going low with Cobra, just maybe not as low as Rickie. Special offers on the day will be available!

Callaway Special Full Bag Fitting Day - Wednesday, 13 April (3pm - 7pm)

On Wednesday, 13 April we will host a Callaway fitting experience day offering a chance to try the new XR16 range, the Mack Daddy 3 wedges on our new pitching facility or the full Odyssey range with myself on the putting green. Look out for special offers and a chance to try the Chrome Soft ball!

Product tester 

Tim can you have our ball back please?

We arrived at the Swing Lounge to pick up this week's clubs just in time to see former Captain Tony Wilkinson sink a putt for a birdie and four points and last year's captain Dave Brayshaw miss his putt and secure a "blob". This got me thinking about the small margins in golf between success and failure. Having made our way to the range, my golf was exactly the same, from the sublime to the ridiculous. If I had been on the course, my first shot would have resulted in pants down as I doubt I would have reached a ladies tee. This week we were testing the Callaway XR range.

Callaway XR 7-iron - stiff shaft

This was the club that would have caused me the embarrassment. My next three shots were not much better. Not looking good for this club as it was obviously the club's fault! However, in the end, I did hit consistent long and straight shots. I would put these irons just behind the Titleist AP1 we tested in the first week. Fish already uses the next model up in this range and found these clubs to be similar to his own. He likes the control and distance he gets with these.

Looks - Fish - 10. Jockey - 9.
Feel - Fish - 9. Jockey - 9.
Accuracy - Fish - 9. Jockey - 9.

Callaway XR16 hybrid 4 - regular shaft

In the words of Fish "WOW what a club". He liked the look and feel and felt he hit it straight and long, would definitely recommend. I too liked this club and if Doctor Done hadn't worked his magic with my hybrid last week, I may have thought about investing. This felt very solid and like Fish I got good distance and accuracy.

Looks - Fish - 9. Jockey - 9.
Feel - Fish - 10. Jockey - 9.
Accuracy - Fish - 9. Jockey - 10.

Callaway XR16 10.5 driver - regular shaft

This driver is adjustable and is the club that has caused Tim Peake some work. I began "nailing" this driver and just wanted to hit more and more balls. However, I did get carried away and managed to sky one that I am sure must have landed on the space station as I never saw it come down. Look for the sky mark on the test club. In my opinion this is the best driver we have tested.

Fish uses last year's model of this driver and felt there have been minor improvements. If he had the chance he would swap to this model. He was impressed with distance, flight and accuracy.

Looks - Fish - 10. Jockey - 9.
Feel - Fish - 9. Jockey - 10.
Accuracy - Fish - 10. Jockey - 10.

If you are looking for a new club or set of clubs for the season ahead, please click here to get in touch and book a custom fitting session with one of our team here at Clubfit Golf. But sure to tell them, Fish and Jockey sent you.
