With the 2011 golfing season well and truly with us we are anticipating a lot of interest in the new product ranges we have coming in. Some of the new stock has arrived already but with hardware from Taylor made, Ping, Cobra & Titleist, and clothing from Green Lamb, Footjoy, Murray Golf & Ping, all still to come we are currently running a sale to clear some space for it all! 

We have all ladies Green Lamb clothing at 40% off – or buy one get one free if that suits you better! There is 20% off all gents Lyle & Scott clothing and buy two Cleveland wedges for only £120 – save up to £58! But hurry, these offers are only available on items in store now and are for a limited period!

I have mentioned some of the brands that we are stocking this year above – in addition to these our membership of the TGI buying group allows us to get product from virtually every manufacturer imaginable so if you don't see what you're after in the shop please let us know & I'm sure we will be able to get it for you, and at a competitive price too!

For those of you looking at changing your clubs then now is the time to do it to give yourself a chance to familiarise yourself with them before the all important medals start. Why not arrange an appointment to be custom fit for the clubs which suit you best & will enable you to enjoy your game?

If you are happy with your current clubs why not treat yourself to a new set of grips for the season ahead? For a once a week golfer grips should typically be changed every 12-18 months, is it time yours were renewed to allow you to "hang on" to those precious shots?!

As you will no doubt be aware we are now able to use Bearsden Driving Range to conduct lessons. This allows us to conduct lessons on any element of the game, be it driving or putting. Contact the Pro shop to book your lesson today!

I hope that by now many of you will have experienced a high level of service in the shop, and that your retail experience has been enjoyable. I am always looking for feedback and suggestions as to how the level of service and services and products on offer can be improved so please feel free to communicate your suggestions to us.

One of the most important elements of my job is communication. I send out a monthly e-mail newsletter, keeping you abreast of any shop promotions, upcoming events and significant news. I am also in the process of getting my website up and running where I hope to have regular coaching articles, product reviews and more. You can subscribe to my e-mail newsletter via the web site.

As many of you have probably realised I am very passionate about my coaching.
Like many young assistant pros I had aspirations of becoming a world renowned coach and working with some of the games elite players. I still have these goals but I must confess that my primary coaching aim has changed. Whilst I undoubtedly want to see my pupils improving ultimately what I hope to achieve with a student is an increased enjoyment of the game as I believe that this is the first step towards a real improvement in performance.

We tend to believe that we will be happy once we have achieved our goals - I often hear golfers say "I'd be happy if I could just...", finish that sentence how you will.

 I believe that the process of improving should be enjoyable, to the point where the process itself gives as much satisfaction as goal attainment. If you want to improve your game and gain more enjoyment from it, or give that gift to someone else then why not arrange for a lesson?

Whatever your reason for visiting the shop, even if it is just for a chat I look forward to seeing you all very soon!
