The secret to a successful winter

Practice makes perfect, right? But perfect practise gets you there a lot faster. We've said it before - and we'll no doubt say it again - but winter provides the ideal opportunity to iron out some of those faults that have crept into your game.

It starts with a list

Begin by evaluating (out of ten) how close you are to your target for each area of your game. It's always best to be completely honest with yourself when doing this. In other words, forget about the odd time when you've hit a shot like Tiger and focus on what happens consistently round after round.

Where we come in

Now you can see which area of your game needs most work and this is where we will start. Having a lesson tailored specifically to your weakness will make the world of difference. So, if you need a pointer or two from the team, send us a message below. Bragging rights are imminent...

The path to better iron play

Hitting an iron and finding the heart of the green feels great. However, the big change comes when you can repeat that time after time - with the odd exception, of course. Not only will your scores begin to drop, but you'll also be full of confidence every time you pull a club out of the bag.

Timing is everything

First things first, new irons are like a pair of new shoes: they take time to wear in. If you want to be playing your best golf in the spring when the season kickstarts, it’s best to get those new irons in the bag right around…well, now.

Which irons to pick

Well, when it comes to confidence with your irons, Cleveland’s Launcher UHX irons are what you need. They look easy-to-hit standing over the ball thanks to a thick topline, but they also help you hit straighter with a lovely high ball flight.

To top it all off, going through our fitting experience will ensure you get the most out of any purchase with us. So, if you're wondering whether new irons is the right move for you, why not send us a message?

Brand new | Srixon ZX woods

Yes, Srixon is a brand best known for making fantastic golf balls, but its new ZX range of woods and irons is equally as impressive.

We really like the graphic of the ZX5 driver here - one of two options in the range. The added detail suggests a really fast face, which ultimately leads to longer and more consistent drives.

Well, that is exactly what we found when giving it a whack! So, if you're in the market for a new toy we'd recommend giving this a try at Kirtlington Golf Club.

Srixon ZX Woods now available in the pro shop
