Winter performance coaching plan 2016/17
After the success of last year's winter coaching plan, I have decided to run a much improved offer for this year. Over the cold winter months I am hoping to utilise our first class indoor facilities to make sure that you are firing on all cylinders next season. The lessons are cheap and the focus is to improve every area of your game from the warmth of our studio.

For any serious golfer our there this is the perfect package to get you golfing this winter. Why do we need to stop just because it's wet outside?

917 fitting success
Now, unless you've had your head in the sand or you've been off on holiday to the moon you must have heard me screaming about the launch of the new Titleist 917 drivers and fairways! Last week I told you all about my lovely day out at Trump Turnberry and how I even blessed Donald himself with the introduction of my new driver, those massive fairway splitting drives were not to be overlooked for sure. Although I thought I better share some better FACTUAL information to back up fairy tales...
Step Forward LGC member Denis Watson (excuse his puzzled look but he just hit his driver further than he goes on his holidays!) who may go down as the most impressive fitting I have done as a golf professional. Denis had been struggling with his driver of late (note this is not an old driver but a PING G30 to be exact) and felt that he could be getting a lot more distance, in particular due to excessive high spinning drives.
I won't go through each and every shot that he hit (to save you from nodding off to sleep!) but I will tell you about what changes I had to make to make sure he got an improved distance gain.
Changed head size from 460cc to 440cc. Titleist have two different head sizes available D2 & D3
Changed shaft kick point to ensure that we got the desired spin rate
Chose correct shaft flex to match up with his swing speed
Altered the loft on the head to gain optimum launch angle
Compared a second shaft option to ensure we had the best possible option
Have a look at the Flightscope data page by clicking here to see the numbers for yourself. Personally a 27 yard distance gain from his own G30 with almost exactly the same swing speed (1 mph of a difference) is absolutely out of this world. If you are serious about your golf or have had any thoughts about what Santa is bringing you this year, the Titleist 917 has to be the top of your wish list!
917 open day
To get your hand on this wonderful driver completely free (well at least for one day anyway!) we are of course holding our very own 917 fitting day on Saturday, 12 November at Linlithgow GC.
Spaces have been filling up fast after last week's newsletter and I only have a couple of slots free. We have free coffee, free cakes and the perfect indoor facilities to maximum your distance gains, if interested in booking please click here....You'd be crazy not too!
Trade in to trade up at Linlithgow Golf Club
What better way to get November off and running but to offer you ANOTHER DEAL! I bet we all have a load of old clubs lying around in the garage, or that old set that has gathered about six inches of dust over the last 10 years? What about those of you that have bought one to many clubs in the past and don't know how to get rid of them? Well this might be the best offer that you've ever heard of from your favourite club pro!
For the month of November we are guaranteeing you a trade in for any, and I really do mean ANY club that you have in your possession. Just to confirm I am not losing the plot and I am indeed meaning ANY old rubbish can be used to trade in against some of the fantastic products that we have in stock or online. All we ask is that they are indeed golf clubs and they are in fact yours! What better offer than to get some monetary value against the latest golf equipment on the market?
Drop the clubs in store and we will do our best to get you a price while you wait, we will take care of all shipping, payments etc. and simply credit your shop account with the value, which can be used against any hardware, clothing, lessons etc.
