Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another edition of our newsletter.

The R&A and USGA’s Distance Insight Report has been on everyone’s lips of late but talk has quickly turned to the rumours of a Premier Golf League which has the aim of revolutionising the game by 2022.

With so much chatter about it, we decided to dig a little deeper to find out what it could mean. As usual, you will also find our regular features, so why not grab a coffee and have a look through.

Enjoy the read.

Tour news

Breakaway league

In a bid to combat a packed global schedule, the World Golf Group outlined a proposal that would bring together 48 of the best players in the world in an 18-event season with a total prize pool of £183 million.

Already Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson have been approached about joining the Premier Golf League as it is being called although it is important to note that the league is nothing to do with either the PGA or European Tour’s with both making it clear that players would have to choose between one or the other.

Could we be about to see a divide at the top of the game?

Pro's news

Best of luck Kieron...

As you all know Kieron will be leaving us this weekend to go travelling with his wife around Asia. It doesn't seem like yesterday that 5 years ago I meet and consequently employed Kieron. At the time he was back from college in the states and was really struggling with his game and didn't know what career path to take.

Fast forward 5 years and you see a fantastic player, a good coach and a qualified PGA Golf Professional which is all down to his hard work and his passion/dedication to learn and improve and better himself.

It goes without saying that we all wish him and ruby the very best of luck in their new venture.

Alex Elwick has joined the team...

18 year old Alex is currently a member of Sherbourne Golf Club (3 handicap) and represents the Dorset Men's 1st team. Alex will be staying amateur for this coming season and will review his options at the end of the year.

Please would you all introduce yourself the next time your in the shop.

All the best Kieron

Welcome Alex

You will be able to browse our availability from the comfort of your home or on the move without the back-and-forth between us to find a convenient time.

Keep a grip on it

A recent golf survey highlighted some very interesting statistics regarding golfers' habits and their equipment, two of which you can see in the image below.

These stats might not mean a lot to you at face value, but the general recommendation is that you change your grips once a year, especially if you play regular golf.

The truth is, grips lose their efficiency over time and when they do we end up gripping the club too tightly, which restricts our ability to swing the club freely. Just something for you to think about...

It's not only important that your grips are regularly replaced, but you need to ensure you get the correct sized grips. Our FREE grip fitting promotion has just started in-store and we recommend everyone giving it a try. Call us on 01297 442963 to take advantage.

A taste for the finer things

Some people want the finer things in life: champagne, first-class travel, luxury cars. Our next addition may sound a little strange, but Titleist’s second-generation AVX balls are here and we're big fans.

Titleist AVX balls

Available in the pro shop

Engineered for greater ball speeds, longer distance and increased short-game spin, the upgraded and extremely soft AVX packs a lot into a golf ball and fits nicely into Titleist’s elite ranks alongside the Pro V1 and Pro V1x.

All three Titleist balls are available at Lyme Regis Golf Club, so pop by the pro shop to find out which is best suited to your game.
