Bag Trade-In

It's easy to simply throw your clubs out of the car and onto the trolley or onto your shoulder without paying much attention to the bag they're sitting in.

So, next time you do exactly this, take 10 seconds to cast an eye over your bag; maybe some zips are broken, the stand is bent or the dividers are worn away and rubbing against the shafts of your clubs?
If this rings true for you, or if you simply want to upgrade your golf bag, we have selected bags in-store with £20 OFF so be sure to take advantage before it is too late!

Click here for more information.

NEW Arrivals - Titleist Bags

Exciting times in the Pro Shop with new arrivals being delivered almost every day!

We now have a great selection of cart and carry bags available in-store.

Pop into the Pro Shop to have a look and treat yourself for the start of the season.

Pushing the boundaries

Driver technology continues to be the hot topic of conversation in the golfing world, as brands search for ways of giving us more forgiveness, greater distance and better accuracy off the tee. So, which drivers are really pushing the boundaries this year?

Introducing Epic Flash from Callaway

Callaway’s revolutionary Epic Flash driver utilises the power of Artifical Intelligence (or computers) to create an optimum face design that maximises ball speed no matter where you make contact with the ball - helpful when you don't hit the ball out of the centre every time. Coupled with Callaway’s Jailbreak Technology, this driver will offer you ball speed and distance like you've never seen before.

Finding the right club for you can be a serious game-changer and sure-fire way of lowering your scores, and the best way of doing this is by taking advantage of our professional advice during an eye-opening custom fitting.

Bags of fun

As we enter March, you might be tempted for a quick nine holes after work as the days lengthen. That means time is of the essence, so a lightweight carry bag is ideal to take from the boot straight to the first tee. So, guess what? We have done the hard yards for you and come up with the perfect solution...

Titleist Players 4 stand bag

Impressive is one of the many words that spring to mind when you take one look at this bag from Titleist. Not only for its great looks but small details like its dual-density foam ensure maximum comfort throughout your round - vital if you manage to squeeze in the full 18. It easily carries 14 clubs and with several colour options available, make sure you pop in store next time you’re down the club and take a closer look.
