Trade-in your clubs using Golfbidder

Did you know that when you purchase equipment from us at Long Ashton Golf Club Professional Shop, you can trade-in your old clubs to reduce the impact on your wallet? When you purchase your new clubs, we can rate your clubs and get a trade-in price for you on the spot.

We get preferential rates from Golfbidder, allowing us to get you an instant discount on your new set and saving you the inconvenience of having to try and sell them yourself.

Coaching news

Lesson cancellation reminder

As the season has progressed, we have got busier and busier as a team with lessons and club fittings. This is great news as hopefully, it shows that people are making use of and enjoying the services that we provide.

More recently though we have had an increasing number of last-minute cancellations and no-shows, meaning that people who may not have been able to get into the diary may have been disappointed unnecessarily. Whilst of course sudden illness or injury is out of anyone’s control, many of the issues we have had were avoidable.

For this reason, we would just like to make people aware that we do operate a 24-hour cancellation policy wherein the case of a late cancellation or missed appointment, we may still need to charge for the time that could have been allocated elsewhere.

Thanks very much for your understanding.

Revealed: Our favourite trolleys of 2019

Push trolley or electric trolley? Do you have a preference or have you not really thought about it that much? We have both covered as we reveal the best trolleys money can buy in 2019, and both of these winners are available through your very own pro shop.

Push to pass - Motocaddy Z1

Happy to go around under your own power? Then you can’t go wrong with Motocaddy’s Z1 push trolley.

The Z1 is our top pick when it comes to value and practicality from a push trolley, not just because its lightweight nature is a joy to handle around the course, but also because the easy-to-fold two-step system makes it quick and easy to transport.

Go electric - Motocaddy S1

Want to take a load off and let the trolley do the bulk of the work? Then there are none better than Motocaddy’s electric S1.

A whisper-quiet 200W motor provides ample power throughout your round, allowing you to stay fresh for the back nine. Its stunning high-resolution LCD display has been updated for 2019 and keeps you ‘up to speed’ with battery life and speed settings.

Why the recent surge?

Here’s some homework for you: the next time you're watching golf on TV, keep an eye on the number of pros using putters with larger heads. Whilst some golfers still prefer the traditional blade style putters from years gone by, over 60% of PGA Tour players have a larger headed putter in their bag today – the question is: why?

High MOI putters

These are all to do with stability, feel and alignment. When you take a look at Scotty Cameron's Phantom X 12 and 6 models (pictured above) you will see what we mean.

The larger head style of both putters is designed to increase MOI, which is crucial as it means the putter face will twist less at impact, especially when struck away from the sweet spot.

How do they work?

It's all to do with the additional weight in the extremities of the head when compared to traditional blade style putters, which helps to keep the face stable through impact.

You might also find that a heavier and larger putter is easier to control, therefore improving your stroke. Either way, we have a great selection of putters waiting for you to try in-store.

Video of the Week

Golf equipment has come a long way in recent years but is there a more beneficial technology than the Boa Fit System? If you haven't tried shoes with Boa on yet then we couldn't recommend it highly enough, and here's a video detailing why they make such a difference compared with traditional laces.

I hope you enjoyed my newsletter. If you need anymore help or advice please reply to this newsletter or contact myself or one of the team in the shop. We'll be delighted to help.
