New Titleist In-Store

We have Titleist’s New T100, T200 and T300 irons, replacing the AP1, AP2 and AP3.

These are beautiful looking irons and in our initial testing, they perform great too. The only tricky thing is when you try to compare new models to old. Titleist have changed the numbers around this time and T100 is the replacement AP2, T200 is AP3 replacement and T300 is the AP1.

Once you get used to it, then it’s pretty simple. The higher the number, then the more forgiving the club will be. This also opens the door for Titleist to bring out an even more forgiving model down the line to compliment the TS1 driver.

Sale sets are now also available on the previous models with up to 30% discount and a free practice 7 iron.

Click here and get in touch to book a fitting.

Try before you Buy

In our experience, we find that most Ladies prefer to trial new Clubs out on the course.

With this in mind, we have invested in a full Demo Set for you to take out onto the course.

If you are interested in the new Ladies PING range we would still encourage you to have a Custom-Fit session with us

Click here to reserve the Demo Set or book a Custom Fit by calling us on 01337 830725.

Sandy visited Nairn Golf Club with Ladies Captain Christine Mathers, Shona Peebles and Myrtle Gilbert on Saturday past. The weather was amazing which made for a fantastic day away. The course was in excellent condition given the recent changes made to bunkers, green complexes and tees. We managed a decent score of 141 which was only 4 behind the event winners from the host club itself. Thanks ladies for a great day away.

Battle of the irons

Before we pit these two beauties against one another, have a think about how good your bad shots are? It's a bit of an oxymoron, but are they disastrous and leading to big scores or are they less penal and still go somewhere around the green?

Red corner - Titleist T300 irons

If your bad shots really are bad then it's definitely worth looking at a game-improvement iron, like the T300 from Titleist. Not only does it come with added tungsten weighting in the toe for maximum forgiveness that you'll appreciate, but Max Impact technology provides incredible distance and feel across the entire face.

Blue corner - Titleist T100 irons

Those of you who tend to strike the ball well the majority of the time should consider the T100 model. It's a player's iron with a cleaner look next to the ball, and allows the better player to shape and flight the ball in whichever way they want. Both of these irons are available to try in your local pro shop today!

Video of the Week

We are often left amazed at some of the shots that the world's best golfers manage to pull off, but sometimes the stars aren't aligned and things can go wrong. Enjoy this week's video as we take a look back at some of the unluckiest shots ever seen on the European Tour.

Hope you enjoyed the newsletter and have a great weekend.
