Luke Ayrton Leaving

We are sad announce that Luke Ayrton will be leaving our professional shop team next week, here is what he had to say.

“I would like to thank Jack for the opportunity to initiate my PGA here at Wells Golf Club. I have enjoyed my time here learning different parts of the industry and with the help of my three colleagues I defiantly feel that my experience here at Wells will stand me in good stead for my new role at Bowood. I would also like to thank all the members for making me feel part of the golf club during my time here and I wish each and every one of you an enjoyable and successful 125th Anniversary year here at Wells.”

New season, new bag

We all look to freshen up our kit when the new season rolls around, but what about the one piece of equipment that houses everything? If you’ve been ignoring broken zips, worn dividers or tatty material, one of these bags could be the upgrade you need...

If you’re an all-weather golfer who loves your trolley, this lightweight BIG MAX Aqua Space cart bag could be your perfect piece of kit. It won’t just carry your clubs, clothing and accessories in its 14-way top and nine spacious pockets, but its 100% waterproof material, taped seams and waterproof zips will ensure your gear is protected, whatever the weather.

Leather or synthetic?

From rain and thermal options to tour-favoured leather and more budget-friendly synthetic, there are lots of gloves for you to consider, which is why we’re here to lend a helping hand.

Tour favourite
Why do tour players choose leather? Well, leather gloves offer the best feel with the traction you need to generate power. It’s also moisture resistant so will stay soft for longer.

One glove that fits the bill perfectly is the Callaway Tour Authentic glove that is worn on tour. It’s made from premium cabretta leather for responsive feel with great grip, while perforations on the fingers and thumb increase breathability so you don’t get a sweaty hand.

Great value
Synthetic materials are stretchy and lightweight, so suit a golf glove perfectly. They’re often used alongside leather palm sections to enhance flexibility, while they should also be more durable than leather models at the cost of a little less feel.

Why not come and try the Callaway Xtreme 365 glove? Its Opti-Flex material is designed to offer great feel, flexibility and increased durability for improved grip in all weather conditions.
