Another Major Week

This week the world’s best players will tee it up at the iconic Pebble Beach to battle it out on the Californian shores. There are a host of players who may appear as favourites- let us not forget Tiger’s dominant performance in the 2000 U.S. Open.

The performance was triumphant, staggering and full proof of the talents of Tiger Woods at the height of his powers. With rounds of 65-69-71-67, Tiger finished 12-under Par and 15 shots clear of second place.

Will Tiger summon upon some of these old feelings at a golf course which historically has played difficult! Do you think Tiger will add to his major tally this year, or will it be someone else who lifts the trophy next Sunday night?

Weekly Round Up

Amanda Mcnally had one of the best rounds of the year thus far on Tuesday 4th with an impressive score of +8 in the Par format Ladies Fitt Rose Bowl, 2nd place was 1 – ‘2000’, ‘Tiger’, ‘Pebble Beach’ and ‘Domination’ are all key words that come to mind!

On a serious note, it’s fantastic to see another Fledgling lady member doing well and getting a big cut to their handicap. The Ladies Ancaster Cup took place alongside the Fitt Rose Bowl and it was Angela Glover that totted up yet another win! A score of +2 in Par Format was good enough to win by 3 shots –well played!

Michael Sheridan shot a very good score of 34 points in the Tuesday Night Stableford on Tuesday passed. Second place was 33 points on the windy Tuesday afternoon.

A reminder that if you’ve not ever played in the Tuesday Night Stableford but have always been inquisitive about it – TNS is a longstanding club tradition.

It’s an opportunity to come and play a game in a quick and fun format, then stay and enjoy a cooked meal with your fellow members. It’s £4.00 entry and we’ll set a game up for you.

End of an Era

On a personal note, some difficult news now; after a year of working in Luffenham Heath Pro Shop, I have made the difficult decision to move on and pursue an exciting new opportunity.

This past year has been such an enjoyable experience and I feel privileged to have been given the opportunity to start my professional life at my boyhood club. I’ve got to know so many members and can safely say that everyone has made me feel at home.

Under Ian’s mentorship, I feel I have learnt the skills to go ahead with confidence into another role and make the next step in my career. This will be at Brampton Park; I will join Head Pro Adam Pike and 3rd Year PGA Professional Adam Morley. I will have access to the latest technology in modern day golf tuition and under the vision of PGA Professional Richard Beadles (formerly, Head Pro of Royal Worlington & Newmarket GC) look forward to working as part of a team to take Brampton Park in a new direction.

I would like to wish everyone at Luffenham all the best and I look forward to returning in years to come for the Pro-am and any other occasion that I get to return to the Heath.

Earn yourself some money

It's always nice to get something for our old bits and bobs. Take your car for example, with many people now taking the opportunity to get money off a new car by part-exchanging their old car as part of the deal.

Well, we're now running a brilliant offer with our friends at Motocaddy, which will see you get up to £60 back in cash (minimum return is £50) when you trade-in your old electric trolley whilst purchasing a new Motocaddy electric trolley in-store.

Find the short stuff

If you’re an equipment junkie, there’s nothing quite like standing on the first tee clutching the latest driver – especially, with the marketing promise of faster ball speeds and greater distance firmly in your mind. The question is, should this be your number one priority with the big stick in hand?

With the US Open taking place at Pebble Beach this week, one thing the world’s best will need in abundance is accuracy off the tee. Penal rough, fairway bunkers aplenty and the Pacific Ocean combine to create one of the hardest tests in golf.

Introducing Mizuno's ST190 drivers

Two drivers that will be in golfers' bags are these beauties from Mizuno. As well as impressive ball speeds and distance gains, the ST190 G boasts Fast Track Technology, which allows us to move weights according to where you need them.

For example, if you struggle with a slice off the tee we can move the weights towards the heel to promote a draw-bias, which will help to counteract this miss and put you on the fairway more often.

This really is the most important part of buying a new driver as if it's not suited to your needs then chances are you're not getting the most out of it.

So, what are you waiting for? Come and have a chat to us in the shop and we can start you on your journey to better golf this summer.
