Shop news

Change is coming!

Some of you probably have heard the latest news regarding American Golf but if you haven’t, let us fill you in on the details. A couple of weeks ago they put themselves up for sale, with allegeddebt challenges, but luckily for them, a company called Endless LLP have brought them, who, you know, the well-known golf brand.

So far, they’ve closed twenty stores across the country with possibly more to close in the next couple of weeks, so the question begs, where have they gone wrong? We're not sure what the future holds for them but it doesn't look good.

For us, though it’s business, as usual, serving the Denham Golf club members and visitors to the golf club with 110% effort and enthusiasm. We are always on hand for expert advice, lessons and custom fitting to ensure that the time you spend at the golf club is an enjoyable one.

Tour news

Moliwood go to battle for top spot...

The European Tour will be hoping to match the excitement of the PGA Tour’s finale, with the Race to Dubai close to reaching its season-ending climax. Fresh from their exploits in the Ryder Cup, the ‘Moliwood’ pairing of Francesco Molinari and Tommy Fleetwood are busy occupying the top two spots, with Molinari holding a 1.4 million point lead over Fleetwood, who triumphed in the Race to Dubai last year.

Also in contention are Patrick Reed and Rory McIlroy, with the former looking to prove that his Ryder Cup display is well and truly forgotten. Reed will be more at home in the arid conditions than he was at Le Golf National, so he could be one to keep an eye on. It should be a great ending to what has been a memorable season.

Rules update

A bone of contention for golfers...

Double hitting is a bone of contention for golfers, as it can be difficult to tell when a playing partner has hit the ball twice. The current rule for double hitting (14-4) states that if a player strikes the ball more than once during a stroke, the player must count the stroke and add a penalty stroke for two strokes altogether.

However, with the new rules of golf coming into play on 1st January 2019, Rule 10.1a will state that if the player’s club accidentally hits the ball more than once during a single stroke, there will be no penalty. This is down to the fact that as the double hit was not the intention of the player, it was deemed unfair for the player to be penalised.

A little help from my friends...

Seeing the 'Holy Trinity' of Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas and Rickie Fowler having a great time together whilst playing the best courses in the world can leave you feeling a bit envious. Sure, you and your friends have a good enough time down at the club, but you might want to experience something truly special all together - a golf trip away.

Go the distance

We've all been there - around 75 yards out and faced with a tricky little pitch shot towards a tight pin; danger over the back and a tier just before the flag that will take anything short down to the front edge.

The first stage in overcoming potential card wreckers like this is knowing how far you hit a full shot with each of your wedges. The second is having three different distances that you can comfortably hit with each, adding to your options when faced with this scenario.

Cleveland CBX

One wedge which will offer you the versatility required for absolute precision in distance control is Cleveland’s CBX. The cavity back design gives you the forgiveness you need when faced with a difficult pitch shot, as well as short game versatility. The centre of gravity is positioned behind the face, which aids the feel and also gives you supreme distance control, meaning you’ll be confident of avoiding danger both in front and behind the green.

Spotlight: Skechers Focus 2

Picture the scene: you've walked off the golf course after being drenched for the majority of your round and head for the changing rooms. You take off your golf shoes and what do you encounter?

With a waterproof shoe like Skechers' GO GOLF Focus 2, wet socks and damp insoles will be a thing of the past. What's more, it is sleek and low-to-the-ground to provide incredible stability in all conditions.
