Come and see our summer collection of Under Armour clothing now available, everything from: Shorts lightweight shirts, belts, hats and rucksacks. 

The New Under Coldblack.. 

The new coldblack feels like you're in the shade. When the sun's blazing, ordinary fabrics heat up quick, meaning you sweat harder, fatigue & lose focus. Coldblack® reflects heat and IR rays so even dark colors don't get as hot.

Rob - Bounce Your Way To Success 

When you find yourself in a wet bunker, to increase the bounce of the club to prevent your wedge digging in the sand, open the face of the club up like this.

   

Josh - Are you using the correct ball? Or are you unsure? Using the correct golf ball is a key factor to making lower scores. Come and get ball fitted with me.

George - Ever thought, how can I hit my driver further? Well with these little tips, you won't be playing first from the fairway this week. The key to hitting the longer drives is increasing club head speed whilst maintaining good balance in your swing. 

1.) When you take your set-up, make sure you have a nice wide stance, slightly wider than shoulder width. This helps maintain good balance whilst you make your swing. 
2.) Make a full backswing. Try and get your left shoulder under your chin (for right handed golfers, opposite for left handed) as you make your backswing. This ensures you've made a full 90 degree shoulder turn and the club is in a good position at the top. 
3.) Unleash the power at the bottom of the swing. Making sure you pour on the power at the right moment is crucial for long drives. The club should be travelling at its fastest point at impact. Don't try and hit it from the top of the backswing. Let the body unwind and then unleash the power into impact. 
4.) A well balanced finish. When you hit your drive past your playing partners you want to look good whilst doing it. Make sure you turn and face the target, with the club finishing round the back of your neck.

Chris - Don't forget to keep hydrated on the course. With the warmer weather on the horizon don't forget to take plenty of water with you on the golf course.

 

The second week at the Rob Leonard Junior Academy saw the children take part in a short game skills challenge. This included bunker shots, chip shots, pitch shots and putting. With different target zones and different shots to play it really tested their skills and what they have learnt in the academy. 

Great work everyone and look forward to this weekend working on our full swings!

 

Custom fitting doesn't cost the earth..

Would you want to risk purchasing golf clubs that may not be ideally suited to you for the sake of saving a few pounds on what appears to be a good deal? Would a beautiful Hugo Boss suit from last season's collection reduced from £999 to £599 be a good deal if it was the wrong size? Not likely unless your planning on some serious eating ahead or were needing to shed a few pounds! If you buy an ill-fitting set of clubs for £349 in a sale and then go on to waste 6 months, a year or worse still EVEN longer was that set a good deal? Not only have you wasted £349 but how much of your precious time gone up in smoke? Please don't waste any more time with the wrong kit! 

Fitted is best. FACT. 

Regardless of handicap. Regardless of budget. Regardless of age. Correctly fitted clubs improves golfers scores. Do you want to shoot lower scores? Last time I checked that was the idea……
