E NEWS FROM ALASDAIR GOOD - Under Armour & Mizuno arrive @ Gullane Pro Shop


Welcome to my October newsletter and to all those who have newly signed up to receive Proshop news, offers and updates.

After a fully supported and successful Pro's Day it's back to business as usual.  In this issue I will show you some of the great products I have available in the Pro Shop. This month I'll take a look at shoes and how important it is to have the correct footwear going into the winter months, also introduce the Under Armour Collection I have in stock and the arrival of Mizuno's new range of irons.

With the winter nights fast approaching, there's still time to put in some practice on the range and even get a lesson to help you iron out some of those bad habits that may have crept into your game over the summer. We will take a look at some drills to eradicate those painful shots like the fat, the thin, the hook and the slice that can cause card ruining holes.  The indoor swing studio in the Shop is great for video lessons in the winter. Check out more in @ http://www.gullaneproshop.com/swing_studio.htm

Lots of new products arriving during the next few weeks and I'm once again giving you the chance to win brand new equipment from PING.
As always, if there is anything about your game or your equipment you would like to discuss, please pop into the Pro Shop at any time and we’ll be happy to talk to you.
Enjoy the news!

A putting competition with a twist for those who liked to show off there skills on the putting green along with a BBQ for players after their round, was enjoyed by all.  Oli, Heather and I were in the Pro Shop running the day and welcoming on arrival.  I would like to thank all members and guests for making the day such a pleasure to run. A special thanks to those who attended the prize giving at night. Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Penman for their winning score of 43 points.

Mizuno raises the bar!

Win A Set Of PING G15 or i15 PING Irons

Win A Set Of PING G15 or i15 PING Irons
Which New PING Iron Fits Your Game?
Hot on the heels of launching the new G15 and i15 Drivers, Ping has now launched the irons to complete the set, and we are giving you the opportunity to win a complete set of irons, as well as a tour of Ping’s European headquarters in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire.

The technology of the G15 irons provides the high-launching, maximum forgiveness attributes that bring consistency to your iron play. The stainless steel iron’s cavity design features a new Custom Tuning Port (CTP), which expands the perimeter weighting and increases the moment of inertia (resistance to twisting).

Weight savings from a thinner face are repositioned to the toe for added forgiveness on mis-hits and its wider sole produces a higher launch angle. Stronger lofts combine with a centre of gravity located low and farther from the face to produce longer shots without sacrificing the higher trajectory required in a maximum forgiveness iron.

The i15 irons are geared towards the better player who prefers an iron set that offers the control to play a variety of shots. Created as a progressive set, the longer irons are larger for more forgiveness. The mid and short-irons are smaller to ensure workability and control on approach shots.

The stainless steel iron features a tungsten toe insert to add forgiveness to the mid-size design. A stabilising bar and CTP provides the feel and sound attributes preferred by better players.

For your chance to win a set of custom fit irons and tour of Ping’s European headquarters, just answer this simple question.

What does CTP stand for?

Please email your answers with your name and contact details to ******** and the closing date for entries is Friday 30th October.

Please note: This is a TGI Golf group wide competition.

Is your footwear ready for winter?
Is your footwear ready for winter?
With the nights drawing in and the cold and wet weather fast approaching now is a good time to take a look at your golfing footwear and making sure you have the right shoes to battle the winter elements.

The first thing to check on your shoes is the spikes, or cleats. A golfer’s footing is the foundation for the swing, if there is doubt in the footing, or worse, slippage, the swing plane will alter, which in turn will affect the ball striking and ball flight.

Next make sure your shoes are in good condition, and there’s no chance of any leakage. Nothing will disrupt your round of golf more than wet feet because water has got in to your shoes. This will also affect your swing as your foot will slip within your shoe.

We have a wide variety of golf shoes in the pro shop, why not pop in at any time and take a look, we’ll be happy so show you the best shoes for your game and budget.

You can get your shoes respiked in the shop for £8 per pair.
