Coaching news

Junior Coaching Sessions

After the two taster sessions which we had 8 kids at the first session and 9 at the second session. For a cold and wet January, this was a huge success. The junior sessions will be starting on Saturday 1st February at 10.30 am till 11.30 am.

It will be only £5 per child all equipment can be provided. If you would like to book your child’s place then please contact Ashley or Nyle in the pro shop. Nyle is also taking Hickleton Golf Club to the community. On Monday 3rd February and Friday 7th Feb he will be coaching children in a local primary school, with the idea to run a 6-week block in school to then bring them back to Hickleton Golf Club.

Do we need a studio?

The question I hear a lot is "Does the club need to invest in a studio?" Most of you will not know that I set a studio up at Rotherham with my old boss and their current Pro Gregg. We invested a lot of money into the project but we're reaping the rewards only three years later.

The benefits

Allows for custom fitting to find the right club suited to you.
Golf can be played indoors no matter the weather.
Long drive/ nearest pin comps.
Lessons can be taken using state of the art technology.
Gapping sessions.
Ball fitting sessions.
And many more.

I took Roger Smith up to Rotherham (pictured below) last week for an Iron fitting. If anyone would like to know how good a studio is then please see Roger.

Change is good

Anything that makes golf that little bit easier is a good thing in our eyes and if improving your iron play is up there on your to-do list then you’re in luck, as we have a treat we want to share with you.

TaylorMade SIM irons

TaylorMade's brand new SIM Max and SIM Max OS irons are certainly worth trying out this year as they offer us all we need to make a big difference to our game.

Taking the best game improvement technology from the M5 and M6 - such as the Speedbridge. - the two SIM models also feature a new ECHO Dampening System so the clubs sound similar to a forged iron on impact with a thinner face for more accuracy on mis-hits.

If you are looking for more consistency and control in 2020 come and give these fantastic irons a try at your local pro shop.

S62 approaching...

Wristwatches have come a long way since the first one was made in 1868. GPS devices have come even further in an even shorter period of time and the two marry up to create a watch that has a host of new features that has left us wondering how we ever coped without it.

New for 2020 - Garmin Approach S62 watch

How many times have you been torn between clubs when facing a tricky approach shot?

Garmin’s brand-new Approach S62 watch will help solve that dilemma with a nifty virtual caddie feature that suggests the best club to play based on your past swings.

Just like having your own caddie on your wrist!

Easier to read on the larger, clearer touchscreen, functionalities such as a wrist-based heart rate monitor, smart notifications, and enhanced battery life, make the S62 a top choice for everyday use.

There’s plenty to like about the Approach S62 (including a big numbers mode) and our Price Match Promise means we won't be beaten at the till. So come and shop at your local pro shop today.

Product spotlight

Callaway Mavrik driver

This driver has been in-store for over a week now and it's safe to say we're a little bit excited.

From its Cyclone Aero shape that increases clubhead speed to its A.I. designed Flash Face for faster ball speeds, everything about the Mavrik driver will help you hit the ball further than your current toy.

With three models in the range, including the incredibly forgiving Mavrik Max driver, come and speak to us about which is best suited to your game.

Video of the Week
