Change is good

Anything that makes golf that little bit easier is a good thing in our eyes and if improving your iron play is up there on your to-do list then you’re in luck, as we have a treat we want to share with you.

Titleist T200 & T300 irons

Titleist’s T200 and T300 irons are certainly worth trying out this year as they offer us all we need to make a big difference to our game.

Both the T200 & T300 irons have been created to be progressive through the set to ensure that as you work from the long irons to the shorter ones they perform with the versatility and forgiveness required to help lower our scores.

If you are looking for more consistency and control in 2020 come and give these fantastic irons a try at your local pro shop.

S62 approaching...

Wristwatches have come a long way since the first one was made in 1868. GPS devices have come even further in an even shorter period of time and the two marry up to create a watch that has a host of new features that has left us wondering how we ever coped without it.

New for 2020 - Garmin Approach S62 watch

How many times have you been torn between clubs when facing a tricky approach shot?

Garmin’s brand-new Approach S62 watch will help solve that dilemma with a nifty virtual caddie feature that suggests the best club to play based on your past swings.

Just like having your own caddie on your wrist!

Easier to read on the larger, clearer touchscreen, functionalities such as a wrist-based heart rate monitor, smart notifications, and enhanced battery life make the S62 a top choice for everyday use.

There’s plenty to like about the Approach S62 (including a big numbers mode) and our Price Match Promise means we won't be beaten at the till. So come and shop at your local pro shop today.
