There's barely ever a dull moment here in the pro shop, as we are always busy coaching, fitting, or helping golfers winterproof their games with new spikes and just as importantly, new grips!
This week in particular is a great week for grips, as we have just received a further shipment of grips from SuperStroke, so we now have an even larger range of grips to choose from. The SuperStroke grips have taken the industry by storm in 2015, and are now a very common sight in the bags of the tour pro's.
Why not pay us a visit and see what all the fuss is about. You will be amazed at the difference they could make to your putting!
In slightly less serious news, we have also received a brand new range of animal themed head covers as you can see in the picture above. These are a cracking addition to the bag, and also make great gifts in the build up to Christmas.
Come and check them out in the pro shop next time you are down here at Bleadon Hill.
The confidence of youth
How nice it was to see the British Masters return to our TV screens over the weekend. More than 57,000 spectators attended the event over the four days, and the crowds were treated to some top-class golf. If the numbers through the gates were impressive, how about the tournament winner? Matt Fitzpatrick, 21, completed a wire-to-wire victory in the kind of manner you'd expect from a player with twice the experience. He showed composure beyond his years, and two areas of his game stood out, particularly during the final round.
Firstly, his accuracy off the tee; he was by no means the longest, but he would prove true the old adage 'Driving is for show, putting is for dough'. In finding the fairway more often than not he let other areas of his game do the talking. He would have been forgiven for succumbing to the nerves down the stretch but time after time he holed clutch putts, and at pace, the ball hitting the back of the cup with authority.
How does your game hold up to tense situations? Come and see us over the winter for some coaching to give yourself the best opportunity for success in 2016 -
get in touch here.
Hopefully the young man's performance inspired you to get out and play. It was certainly nice to see so many young fans attending the golf, so well done to Mr Fitzpatrick and co for inspiring the next generation.
