Junior Championship 

What a great turn out we had for the Junior Academy Championship, as always it was a highly fought competition. We will announce the winner at the Junior Academy Presentation which will be confirmed in the next few weeks.

Junior Tees

This week was the first time our juniors used the junior tee markers on the front 9. These tees are a great addition to the course, and will certainly help the Junior Academy's development.

Callaway Fitting Day 

Thanks to all of those who attended the Callaway Fitting Day last Friday, We saw such an improvement in the members and guests that were fitted by our Callaway expert Phil Ogden. As many of you already know we offer the same custom fitting service right here at Harpenden Common.

   

Fitting Process 

Interview Process 

The first step is the Interview Process, during which the fitter identifies your current ball flight tendencies, equipment specifications, likes and dislikes of your current equipment, and your needs and preferences from new equipment. 

Static Fitting 

The second step, the Static Fitting. For an iron fitting, your height and wrist-to-floor measurement are used to calculate your static Iron lie angle and shaft length, and your hand dimensions are used to calculate your grip thickness.

Swing Test 

The Dynamic Swing Test is next, during which you hit balls from an impact board with special tape on the sole of the club. When the club hits the board, it leaves marks on the tape that help the fitter understand how your setup and swing affect the position of the clubhead at impact. 

Ball Flight Analysis 

The most important step in the process is Ball Flight Analysis. During this step, the fitter will utilize a variety of clubs with slightly different specifications to isolate each fitting variable and determine the combination lie, club length, shaft type and flex, club model and grip size that gives you the best opportunity to achieve your desired ball flight. 

Four Week Check 

After 4 Weeks from having your new clubs we will conduct a review to check that the specification is working for you.
