Winter plan

I’m not only planning what to work on with clients but also for my own progression through the winter. I have booked on to a few different courses for coaching, the Pro Shop and the club.

These include The Art and Science of Pitching, The Art and Science of Squad Coaching, Boditrak certification in Golf Ground Mechanics. For the Professional shop I am going to a two day conference held by Foremost that covers all aspects of running a better shop and for the; Club customer data collection, tee time management, driving green fee revenues and a changing culture through good Governance which I will attend with Stuart Alexander.

To study and strive to be better is something I love to do, and it’s great to improve over the quieter winter months ready for the new season.

Titleist vs TaylorMade

The NEW AP1, 2 and 3 are in and they will be going head to head against the P790 from TaylorMade - the question is...which is better for you?

718 AP1 from Titleist

Both longer and more forgiving than the 716 model, this 718 AP1 combines classic Titleist looks with advanced technology for maximum distance and forgiveness. For this 718 AP1 set Titleist turned to a progressive construction, with hollow-bodies making the long irons easier to launch and more forgiving, and a more compact undercut cavity in the mid and short irons ensuring they have controllable trajectories.

TaylorMade 790 irons

These TaylorMade irons pack powerful performance into classic looking heads for modern distance in a workable set. Despite the power on offer, the P790 irons maintain a soft feel and great sound at impact thanks to SpeedFoam, which is injected into the hollow clubhead design to dampen vibrations.

Keep your ball in play

If you struggle to keep your drives on the short stuff then it’s probably about time you looked at improving this area of your game. Feeling confident when standing over a tee shot is crucial to hitting a good drive and that’s where we come in.

Graph

Get it in play

You might be surprised that there isn’t a bigger difference between the stats in this graph. The real difference comes when you look at how far offline the misses finish.

It doesn’t take a genius to work out hitting it straighter will reduce lost balls and increase your chance of making pars, which is why we highly recommend having a driver you’re confident in and one that’s set-up to counter your most common bad shot.

Is your driver custom fitted?

During a Lynx Black Cat driver fitting we can test the two sole weight positions, as well as a host of shaft options and experiment with different lofts using the hosel until we’ve found a combination that gives you consistently better performance than your current model.

Layer up, winter's coming

A common misconception among many golfers is that adding layers will completely restrict your swing. While that might be true if you wear thick polos and woolly jumpers from the high street, it simply isn’t the case with the golf-specific clothing we sell, which is designed to keep you at a comfortable temperature and swinging freely throughout your round.

Why you must consider layering your outfit

Traditionally, if you wanted to stay warm you’d add a big jumper and then maybe a jacket, but would soon overheat, sweat and struggle to swing dynamically. We instead recommend multiple thin and lightweight garments designed to work in harmony with one another.

All three of these Glenmuir tops will do just that, keeping you nice and warm by using stretch fibres to ensure you can make your normal, powerful swing. They also optimise breathable material, which helps any moisture escape so you don’t overheat uncomfortably.
