Fitting day

Callaway Fitting Day - Saturday, 14th April

We are very excited to be hosting a Custom Fitting day on Saturday 14th April. This will be running from 10am to 3pm with the expertise of a Callaway fitting technician along with our PGA professionals.

It’s not all about Rogue though, Callaway will also have their full range of Epic, Apex and Steelhead clubs as well as wedges and putters. It’s definitely worth making contact and booking that fitting.

Places are filling up fast. If you would like to book an appointment just give us a call on 01843 590005, pop into store or click here to request a slot.

Lynx Fitting Day - Saturday, 14th April

As well as Callaway, we will have Lynx on site on Saturday too, making for a fantastic multi day experience. Many of us remember Lynx in it’s heyday of the late eighties and early nineties and seeing the likes of Freddie Couples and Ernie Els playing it. Well not it’s back and under British ownership too.

We’ve been stocking and fitting Lynx clubs for two years now and it’s quickly stood out as one of our best performing products. Best of all it has a price point for everybody – starting at a fitted set for just £199 all the way through to the stunning Prowler Tour and VT irons.

If you haven’t considered Lynx yet, come and give it a go, we guarantee you’ll be impressed.
Call 01843 590005 or click here to reserve your fitting spot.

Club news

Alan Taylor

As many of you know our much-loved member Alan Taylor sadly lost his battle with cancer during March. Alan was a massive part of the Golf Club at Manston, playing and supporting every event going, encouraging and welcoming new members young or old and always continually upbeat whatever health problems he faced.

He is much missed by all of his friends here at Manston and we are organising a collection for his charity, The Pilgrims Hospice. If anybody would like to contribute there is an envelope behind the counter.

TaylorMade 4-for-3 - £42.99 - last chance

No penalty

Golf can be a frustrating game at the best of times, but incurring a penalty stroke when you’ve accidentally done something wrong seems very unfair, especially when that one stroke could be the difference between getting a handicap cut or not.

Current Rules
Under the current Rules of Golf, if you accidentally nudge your ball while addressing it you incur a one-stroke penalty and must replace it (18-2). The only exception relates to if it is accidentally moved in the process of marking it. In this case, it must be replaced and there is no penalty (20-1).

New Rules from 2019
The new proposed rule (13.1c) states there will no longer be a penalty for accidentally causing your ball to move on the green and you must replace it on its original spot.

Let us make it simple for you

We pride ourselves on being the only place you need to go for your golfing needs, which is especially true for golf balls. But we also realise that because we offer a wide range, it can be hard to know which model is right for your game.

Tour performance

The TaylorMade TP5 and lower spinning TP5x offer excellent performance from tee-to-green, which is why they’re the choice of top players like Rory McIlory and Justin Rose. Each of its five layers has been specifically designed to help an aspect of your game, whether that's driver distance, spin or feel.

Perfect for slower swingers

The TaylorMade Project (a) and Project (s) balls make it easier for slower swingers to generate distance. Like TP5, Project (a) has a urethane cover that creates greenside spin, plus the same aerodynamic dimple pattern, while the Project (s) feels even softer on full shots.
