Hello golfers,

Well wasn't that an exciting weekend of golf? I for one had my feet up on Sunday evening watching some of the world's best trading blows in what can only be described as a Ryder Cup birdie fest. I'm not really a huge fan of Patrick Reed, but he seems to be the American golfer that we all love to hate. His game against Rory McIlroy on Sunday evening was arguably the most exciting Ryder Cup match of all time, here's to hoping that finish on Sunday has inspired many a new golfer to take up the wonderful game!

Have a look at why your grips might not be helping your game...

Why Re-grip?

Grips are made of materials that age and wear as a function of time. Ozone, heat, dirt, and oils from your hands all age your grips and cause the natural degradation of the grip. The traction that a fresh grip provides lets you hold the club lightly without the subconscious fear of losing the club during your swing. This relaxed state promotes proper swing mechanics and wrist action. While a worn grip causes you to grasp the club tighter, causing arm and wrist tension that inhibits proper swing mechanics.

How often to Re-grip?

As a rule of thumb, you should re-grip once every year. Regardless of whether you play golf every day or only twice a year, ozone, heat, dirt, and oils are constantly at work breaking down the materials that make up your grips. Granted, frequent play and personal preference may dictate re-gripping sooner, but normally there's enough degradation of the material after a year to warrant fresh grips. Keep in mind that grips lose a significant amount of their original feel long before they become hard and glazed over. Because it happens slowly over time, most golfers fail to notice it. That's important to remember because just a tiny, imperceptible slip at contact will be magnified to many yards by the time the ball reaches its target. Many people find that getting in the routine of re-gripping every spring as the golf season "officially" begins is the easiest way to remember.

Open Day Success

Last Sunday we held another very successful Open Day, those who have been reading my newsletter of late may have noticed a few different offers that were available for membership. I would like to thank all the members who took advantage of our "free golf for everyone" campaign. We managed to secure seven more members on the day at the back end of the season which I'm sure you will agree is a fantastic number. The feedback on the course was extremely positive with a number of visitors from surrounding courses surprised at how good our course is, so well done to David and his team!

The membership offer is still available for another few days, if you would like any more information please click here.
