The dream is over

The football dream is over but what an exciting and unexpected run it was!

Shop news

The Importance of comfortable shoes

With the summer we are enjoying and the hard dry conditions it is important to have very comfortable shoes too.

We are proud to boast the largest selection of men’s and ladies shoes anywhere and we have some superb offers too. Examples include FootJoy Contour Casual and Ladies Pro/SL spikeless shoes at only £69.99.

Click here and get in touch if you are interested and would like to know more.

In the shop

Our Shirt Amnesty is proving very popular and no wonder - £10 off any shirt when you bring in an old one. With our great range of Under Armour and Adidas available it’s time to smarten up your wardrobe.

Tomorrow we take delivery of the eagerly awaited Motocaddy M series trolley which has had some amazing modifications. Be sure to call in to see this amazingly compact electric trolley.

Competition news

July medal

As the country more or less came to a standstill on Saturday for the Quarter Final match we still had 140 keen competitors play in the July Medal with young Will Thomson storming to victory with his super net 62.

It was also great to see Jack Varley in the prizes too with his net 71 which also beat his dad on the back 9!

Seniors Trophy

There was also a super entry for the Seniors Trophy on Monday. With some very good scoring off the white tees for 'the old boys' it was John Webster who secured victory with his great score of 41 points.

Well done John and it’s great to see both you and your wife Barbara enjoying yourselves since joining earlier this year.

Ladies news

Ladies Round up

The Ladies busy schedule continues with plenty of competitions. Last week was the HIndmarsh Trophy which is an event for the over 50's and it was great to see Delia Bailey win the event with her score of 71. Whilst it never does to talk about ages I'm sure Delia won’t mind me mentioning some of the competitors had a 30 year advantage!

Ladies Championship day was on Sunday and despite sweltering weather many Ladies played the 36 hole event with a good entry for the 18 hole event too. Joy Hunter came agonisingly close to winning another Championship but a better 2nd round by Lady Captain Philippa meant it was not quite to be. Many congratulations Philippa.

Tour news

A tight affair

It was a tight affair on the European Tour this week with a playoff hole deciding who took home the Irish Open and it was the Scotsman Russell Knox who defeated Ryan Fox of New Zealand. Knox holed two superb putts on the 18th green at Ballyliffin GC to claim his second European Tour victory. Can you tell the difference? Click here to view.

Attentions now turn to the Scottish Open this week where players will be putting in their final preparations for the third major of the year, The Open. Who will find some form heading into one of the toughest golfing destinations in the world, Carnoustie and will America make it three in a row...

It couldn't be clearer

Playing golf in the sunshine is something we all love, but it does have its downsides when bright light compromises your view. This is why Oakley offers such a great range of eye-catching, golf-specific sunglasses to help your game.

Don't put up with squinting
Trying to track a drive into low sun is just one problem summer golf can create. It also becomes more difficult to pick an aiming point and to read greens when bright light disguises subtle contours.

One eyewear option we love thanks to its cool frame style you can wear off-course is the Oakley Targetline (pictured here). It comes with the option of Prizm golf lenses that enhance clarity and maximise contrast to give you better depth perception and make slopes easier to spot, as displayed in the image above.

Hot off the press

Motocaddy’s electric trolley range is split into the S-Series and M-Series, the latter having recently undergone a major overhaul with four new compact trolleys replacing the extremely popular previous generation.

Which trolley is the right one for you?
If you’re seeking a compact-folding electric trolley, Motocaddy's updated M-Series range is made up of four great options that all include super-lightweight Lithium batteries. All M-Series trolleys are car-boot friendly thanks to space-saving inverted wheels that have significantly reduced their folded size, which is 11% smaller than its nearest competitor.

The new M5 CONNECT boasts GPS yardages on its screen display, plus it receives handy phone and app notifications. The updated M3 PRO offers features including a security pin code, a six-step Adjustable Distance Control (up to 60 yards) and nine speed settings that allow it to travel at your walking pace. The new M1 is the simplest offering of the four, featuring a soft-touch ergonomic handle and an oversize frame to offer robust stability, but is also available in a Downhill Control (DHC) model that comes with an electronic parking brake.

Spotlight: adidas Tour360 Knit shoe

We've spoken a lot about the adidas Tour360 BOOST 2.0 shoe this year, but there is an alternative option for those of you after something a little more lightweight and breathable when walking the fairways.

The Tour360 Knit boasts many of the fantastic features of the aforementioned shoe, but has replaced the traditional leather upper with an ultralight and strechable PrimeKnit material to maximise comfort.
