Men’s Club Championships – this weekend!

The draw for this weekend’s Club Championships is taking place this Thursday. It will go straight onto intelligent golf. Best of luck to all competitors, enjoy the challenge!

Cumberwell Park 25th Anniversary fun!

We have a whole host of events coming up to celebrate Cumberwell Park’s 25th Anniversary.

Firstly, an inaugural par 3 competition held on Bank Holiday Monday, 26th August, open all day to members of all sections. It is an individual 9 hole competition and the sign up is live on intelligent golf. It is a 25% handicap Stableford. Please enter individually, or in groups on intelligent golf.

The main event is a new one-off 25th Anniversary Stableford on Saturday 14th September, played on the Red & Yellow course and the Blue & Orange. Two competitions with FREE entry! Again, open to all members of all sections with a competition handicap. Tee times are being booked through us in the Proshop, so if you wish to play, please give us a call on 01225 862332. It will be a busy one, so don’t delay! Tee times are being booked between 7am and 12pm and to maximise entrants, we can help by pairing up one’s and two's.

The John James Memorial Trophy is also played on the same weekend on Sunday 15th September. Teams of four will play a best 2 from 4 bowmaker. It's slightly different from previous years, where teams can be made up from players from any section, so it's open to all combinations of players. Times are available between 9am and 1pm. Book your own or team slot on intelligent golf. There will be no green fees payable for this event.

As part of the celebrations, the golf club are running a free BBQ and Hog Roast all weekend, so even more reason to join in!

New Titleist demo heads have arrived...

The new range of demo product, the brand new T series range of irons are here - T100, T200 and T300. In addition, the new hybrids have also arrived and we can offer an amazing custom fitting service with Titleist.

Come in and take a look.

No distractions

It's not always easy to get in the zone or feel completely comfortable over the ball so, when you do, the last thing you need is to look down and be distracted by your shoes. Style always comes down to individual taste, but here are two shoes at either end of the spectrum that catch our eye for different reasons.

FootJoy Fury

The eye-catching athletic style of the aptly named Fury offers a fast look when addressing the ball with a full grain leather and engineered mesh upper providing ultimate on-course performance.

FootJoy UltraFIT Boa

Classic style meets the perfect fit in these beautiful shoes from FJ. The no-nonsense design at address oozes confidence whilst the Boa Fit System ensures maximum comfort every time.

We have an extensive range of golf shoes available in-store with styles, colours and designs to match everyone's taste. So, be sure to pop in and try on a pair or two for size the next time you're in the market for new shoes.

Variety is the spice of life

Whatever happened to having a ‘textbook’ swing? If you were to watch golf on TV you’d see all sorts of different swings that have propelled these golfers to the top of the world, and the same can be said on the greens too.

TaylorMade Spider X putter

There's definitely no single approach when it comes to how you grip your putter. You have a more traditional no-fuss approach that is favoured by the likes of Tiger Woods; a left-below-right grip which is a recent craze made famous by Jordan Spieth's putting heroics; and then the opposite extreme in anchoring that has recently been banned by the R&A.

TaylorMade's putter range

That's gripping the club but what about the actual putter itself?

Take a look at TaylorMade's range for example. In this photo alone you can see the larger headed Spider X putter that is so popular on Tour thanks to its stability through the ball, as well as the more conventional headed TP Black Copper line.

With so many head styles available - not to mention lengths - using our expertise is the safest way to ensure your next purchase is the right one for your game.

Spotlight | Callaway Epic Flash hybrid

Epic by name...

Hybrids are one of the most important clubs you can have in your golf bag. Whether you use them as a long-iron replacement or to bridge the gap between your longest iron and shortest wood, they are incredibly useful and easy to hit.

This brand new release from Callaway boasts Jailbreak Technology for faster ball speeds, exceptional forgiveness on off-centre hits as well as adjustablility options so that we can really dial it in to be perfect for your game.
