April events

 

April brought plenty of sunshine and a host of fantastic events across the Club, highlighted by the 100th playing of the Gold Cup.

 

Thank you to all Members for their support of Pro’s Day – it was a superb occasion. Congratulations to Justin Thesiger and Richard Lurcott on winning the pairs competition and all prize winners on the day.

Play with your Professionals

 

We are fortunate to have a team of seven highly skilled coaches and players within the Professional Team in the Sports Shop.

 

Members can enjoy an opportunity to play nine holes alongside a professional who will assess all aspects of your game while demonstrating best practice on the course.

 

Throughout the round, you’ll receive tailored swing tips and course management advice designed to help improve performance. Each session is limited to just three participants per date, priced at £50 per person, and Members are welcome to book as many sessions as they wish.

New products in store

Spring is always a busy period in the Sports Shop when we receive our new spring / summer clothing and footwear collections alongside new product launches across multi sports. We have highlighted some of our favourite new products below but pop in to see more.

Wilson Blade

The latest Wilson Blade 2026 (V10) range brings a major update to one of the game’s most control-focused rackets. Retaining its signature feel and precision, the new Blade introduces improved stability, a more forgiving sweet spot, and a touch more accessible power, making it better suited to the demands of the modern game. With a variety of models to suit different playing styles, it remains a top choice for players who value control without sacrificing playability.

Head Boom

The Head Boom 2026 range builds on its reputation for effortless power and comfort, now refined with improved consistency and stability. Retaining its easy, arm-friendly feel, the latest models introduce new technologies such as Hy-Bor construction and AI-designed string patterns to deliver a more solid, connected response and a larger sweet spot. With options from Pro to lightweight and team frames, the racket range is suited to a wide spectrum of players looking to swing freely with confidence.

Varley ladies clothing

One of our most popular brands last year, Varley offers a stylish range of ladies clothing, combining performance with contemporary design. Their collections feature dresses, skirts, and knits suitable for both on-court action and off-court relaxation. We have a new range of spring / summer clothing now in store!

Odyssey Square to Square

The Odyssey Square to Square 2026 range represents a major step forward in putter design, built around a ‘zero torque’ concept that keeps the face square throughout the stroke for greater consistency and accuracy. Featuring centre-shafted, stroke-balanced designs alongside Odyssey’s latest Ai-DUAL insert, the range delivers improved ball speed consistency, enhanced forward roll, and a softer, more responsive feel. The range offers a highly stable, confidence-inspiring option for golfers looking to reduce face rotation and simplify their putting stroke.

Free product testing for the latest equipment – in the Performance Studio with Trackman

Are you curious to see what the latest equipment releases can bring to your game this year? Over the past month we have seen some great results with the first lucky people being custom fitted for the new Ping, TaylorMade and Callaway ranges. My personal highlight was seeing a Member gain 30 yards and hitting it consistently straighter compared to their driver using the new Taylormade Qi4D!

Bring your current woods, hybrids or irons into our performance studio to put them to the test against the new TaylorMade Qi4D, Titleist SM11 Series, Callaway Quantum and Ping G440 to see if we can gain you extra yardage or get you hitting the ball straighter.

What’s even better, the Sports Shop Team are offering FREE custom fitting appointments through May! Get expert and honest advice from our PGA professionals for free.

Don’t forget we always price always price match our competitors to ensure you get the best value and offer a free 60 minute follow up session on Trackman apart of your purchase.
