Greetings from John Green
Alwoodley Golf Club - PGA Golf Professional

Partner a Pro

On Saturday we held the 'Partner a Pro' fun comp. You had six of the very best players in the world including the major champ Rory Mcilroy and the future major champion 'John Green'!

The winner however, was Giles Manchester who dovetailed to perfection with his partner Sergio Garcia. By his own admission Giles didn't play his magical best, but he performed when he needed to and managed a staggering nett 58. Giles was nowhere after the opening nine holes, but he managed to improve his back nine pro's score of 35, by 8 shots!! That amazing back nine meant he piped Clive Marjoram into second spot.

Clive also had a nett 58 but lost out on countback despite a faultless nett 28 on the inward nine. This was a very solid card and the score was again as a result of producing the goods when really needed. It would seem new member Clive is one to watch, especially when he's partnering John Daly!

Third spot went to Jim Dickson & Bubba Watson, just ahead of David Knaggs & John Green, courtesy of a better back nine. Jim was out in 29 and in in 30 for a betterball score of nett 59 and a hefty chunk of winter OOM points! Well played to all mentioned and sorry to my partners, I usually score mid 60's, so the 69 was a disappointing score!

Winter Series Order of Merit

Andy Candlish jumps to the front of the Winter OOM standings with another solid showing in the 'Partner a Pro' competition. Andy now sits on 29.5 points, four points ahead of the current Century Bowl champ Giles Manchester. Giles has jumped up out of nowhere to be bang in contention, but Ross Bousfield, Bob Davis and Chas Newstead are all in hot pursuit in tied third.

It's now a straight fight for the line in the final event of the Winter OOM - The 'Challenge the Pro' on the 21st March. With the scoring being so tight all the way through, a staggering 23 players can still win this! It's all to play for so I look forward to seeing you all down here vying for the win!

Winter Winds

Just over three weeks left to qualify and the table is extremely tight. The top 16 and therefore current qualifiers can be seen below. You've got to think it's going to be under level 70's to get in but who knows?! Anything could happen! There's still plenty of time to get three cards in so don't feel like you're too late. The course and weather conditions are improving with each day so we should see some very good late scoring. Below is the Top 16 positions as of 3rd March.

Callaway XR and XR Pro

We've now got the new (and brilliant) XR and XR Pro series in the shop. These replace last year's X2Hot series which sold amazingly well because of their great distance and forgiveness. Well, if you thought the X2Hot was good, then you're going to need to try the XR range…

When tested with the 'robotic arm,' the XR's shortest hit went further than the best hit shot from the X2Hot. That's tested from strikes all over the clubface and it is the first time Callaway have ever experienced this change in a single club update.

The XR pro series is for someone looking for a lower ball flight with a little less spin. Both clubs are very forgiving but the standard XR is more likely to suit a player looking for consistency and help getting the ball up and flying. Needless to say the distance of both is outrageous and is a must try if you're looking to upgrade your clubs this year. To book a fitting please click here.

New PING Fitting System 

We've just had the new PING Fitting System delivered. 

This gives us over 20 shafts and more than a dozen heads, offering plenty of different lies and options for you to try. 

All of this is then able to be tested on the state of the art GC2 Launch Monitor to give you the best possible service. 

If you're thinking of making a new iron purchase, make sure you get properly custom fitted in order to give you the best chance of reaching your potential.

If you would like to book a fitting please click here to get in touch. 



MOT Day

On the 7th March we're running a very special MOT day. This is giving you a special - AIZ - FREE of charge chance to get your lofts, lies, lengths, flexes, grips, set make up etc. all checked and discussed with you. 

This is your chance to get your questions answered and to let us help you. Do you find you have gaps in your yardages? We can explain why and tell you ways around it. Do you keep hitting it right/left and want to know if the lie of the club aids this? We can do that too! Do you want to check what flex you should be using? No probs. Do you want to ascertain why you hit it high or low? Our knowledge and the GC2 can answer in seconds. 

You get the gist I'm sure. We will be on the range from 10am until 1.30pm and to avoid us being overly rushed it would be great if you could book in for your dedicated half hour.

 To book your 30 minute MOT test, please click here to help us help you.

Immediate visual feedback in all lessons.

Visual AidThe iPad Air together with the excellent V1 golf app is also something I will be using in the vast majority of my lessons. It allows me to give you, immediate visual feedback and comparisons with professional's swings whilst actually on the range with you. 

This has already proved a success and has made it even easier to show golfers the desired swing positions we're trying to get to, and how we can do it. 

Add this to brief post lesson e-mailed notes and you have an unbeatable combination.

I look forward to helping you improve your golf, to book a lesson or custom fit please click here.

GC2 Proving to be a Massive Success

After investing in a state of the art launch monitor earlier this year, I can safely say this has been one of the best golfing purchases I've ever made. Instant feedback to the Ipad Aire lets me communicate very simply to the player why we're seeing the shot distance/curvature that we're seeing. From here it's a case of trying other clubs as comparisons and chatting through the figures we see so that the player is on the same page and not in the dark.

This has really revolutionised the fitting process and leaves no stone unturned. If you'd like to improve your golf with a set of custom fit clubs/woods then click here to get in touch.

Young Guns Academy with the Golf Foundation Junior Golf Passport.
Our junior coaching on a Saturday morning is undergoing a big change! To help get our juniors to the 'next level' quicker, we're changing the format from an hour long group lesson, to 30 minute individual lessons. This means that with the help of the Golf Foundation Junior Passport Scheme we can make the coaching specific for the needs of the junior at hand.
The Junior Golf Passport covers the following key areas of golf:


The price for a half hour lesson is £10.00 (Under age 12) can be booked at your convenience and can be taken any day/time (as long as we have a member of staff free). This should hopefully be more convenient as we know some of you struggle to stick to the 10am Saturday time as you have other commitments.

 
TaylorMade RSI re-launch

Listen to how TaylorMade’s new RSi irons could help your game

“Not only do you want to get the lies right but let’s make sure we get you in the right model [RSi 1, 2 or Tour Preferred] so you get the right flight out of them.” We couldn’t agree more with TaylorMade’s Executive Vice-President Sean Toulon, who explains here how TaylorMade’s new RSi irons help mishit shots to be far less destructive.
