Big news... Congratulations to our very own Joe Stevens for being the leading Assistant Professional in the recent PGA Winter Series Event played on the Red Course. Joe battled with extremely stormy conditions to score a total of one-over-par to win a ball, shoe and glove contract with Titleist and FootJoy.

New competition leaders!
Many thanks to Greg Mizon and Martyn Allen for taking part in the Pro Challenge on Sunday. Greg's 2019 Captain's Prize-winning form was very evident and for the occasional hole when he needed support, there was a very solid Martyn Allen to do so. They are now leaders in the clubhouse but there are still some very strong players in the field. The idea of these matches is mainly to have some fun and offer swing tips if required. However, there is also a prize for the winning pair of members who defeat the Professionals by the largest margin. There is an entry fee of £30 for each player and all proceeds go to the assistant Pro's tournament expense fund.

New promotion available to you We launched this last week and the initial take up has been phenomenal! It's not just about making sure you replace the grips on your clubs every year. Instead, we want you to have the correct sized grip and the right type of grip (tacky, chorded and so on) too. This will only be running for a few more weeks so come and see us in the pro shop if interested.

Last week we revealed a remarkable statistic regarding the number of golfers playing grips that are over a year old, but what impact does that actually have on your game? Well, we decided to do some digging... |
 | | Tension whilst gripping |
Grips are made from rubber and are prone to wear and tear, just like the tyres on your car. When they become worn, your grips will lose tackiness and your hands will start to slip during the swing, resulting in poorer shots.
The thing is, you’ll likely overcompensate by holding on to your clubs too tight, creating more tension and stiffness during the swing.
|
 | | Limited time offer in-store now |
We know it sounds all doom and gloom, but it does make a huge difference to your game. That's why we're running this promotion at The Berkshire Golf Club, so you can experience the benefits of a new grip first hand.
There’s no catch, just pop by the shop before your next round to take advantage. |
