Paul Mitchell Golf Academy

Hi everyone,

I hope you have all been safe in the extremely cold and snowy week we have experienced. It was Cameron’s birthday last Friday and we had to postpone a trip to Devon because the M5 was so dangerous! Never mind, we had plenty of cake to celebrate with!

So what's happening in and around the golf club?

Club news

There have not been any recent competitions to report on due to the snow, but I will tell you that on Tuesday, 27th February the ladies played in the Waltz Bowmaker (doesn’t that sound lovely?! Being a non-golfer myself I don’t know what that means but it sure sounds nice). The winning team comprised Sue Wilson, Rose Hargreaves and Mischa Kong (74), and in second place were Paula Crabtree, Linda Meaton and Lady Captain Lisbeth Jensen (68). Fantastic results and well done Ladies.

What’s on the way?

Friday 9th March - Seniors’ Stableford on the blue course.
Saturday 10th March - the March Stableford.
Tuesday 13th March - Ladies’ Captain Charity Flag.

As usual, you lovely people know what to book and where so I won’t bore you with directions!

Let’s move on to the latest in the Pro Shop!

Academy news

You may recall a few weeks ago that I mentioned we were recruiting a new member of staff. We had some interesting applications and some “eek” applications, which is always fascinating and I find it really hard to tell people that we haven’t chosen them. You don’t want to steal people’s hopes and dreams, especially as there are few vacancies locally, but we also don’t want to be stuck with an unsuitable employee.

We made the decision a couple of weeks ago, and we are thrilled to tell you we have recruited a local lad. He used to be the assistant at Tall Pines, but has decided to move on from there. His name is Luke Collins and he is starting at our academy on 1st April. Some of you may have seen him before, not just at the club as Paul used to teach him, but also at Tall Pines. He is a fully qualified PGA assistant in his early 30s and we have known him for a long time. As an amateur member of Mendip Spring, Luke was selected for the England A Squad in his late teens alongside Chris Wood and as you can imagine he’s a very good player and has recently dominated the Gloucester and Somerset PGA weekly medals with five victories this year.

Alongside his outstanding golf, he is very friendly and personable, a great teacher and a very helpful chap and we are sure you are going to like him!

Apart from new staff, March is the month for new stock arriving, and I am very excited about the new clothing coming our way. I am particularly excited to show you the Ladies’ Glenmuir (lots of hot pinks, navy’s etc.) and the Green Lamb (oh so beautiful pastels, baby blues and baby pinks, gorgeous French Breton style knitwear and stripes, pastel argyles, ooh so so pretty!). I will issue a special mail when the collection arrives in-store, so you can come and take a look! For the chaps, we are stocking the usual Under Armour and Glenmuir, but we have a new trousers supplier. From the beginning of April, we will be stocking Dwyer’s trousers, beautiful cut, stylish, classic colours and also some funky colours thrown in for a colour pop! Well it wouldn’t be us without some quirkiness!

We start our coaching schedules for schools again this month, with Ravenswood school doing their Duke of Edinburgh award with us and KingsWeston arriving for four weeks during April. The season for our school work has well and truly started, how fab is that?!

So it’s been a fab few weeks in the Pro Shop and Spring will bring even more for all of us.

Time to upgrade your golf bag?

Maybe your bag is a few years old and has seen better days? Or, maybe it has a broken zip or a stand that is bent? Regardless of your bag's condition, now is the perfect time to consider purchasing a new one as we're offering £20 OFF selected stand and cart bags in-store.

On that note, have a great week,

Caren, Paul, Andy, Nick and Luke (almost!)

Listen to what he has to say

We’ve been hammering home the importance of getting your clubs regripped for the past few weeks now, so we thought we’d take a closer look at one particular grip that we’re currently offering to put on your 7-iron for FREE…

Interview with David Leadbetter | Golf Instructor

Why try the Golf Pride Align grip?
You might think launching a new golf grip is like reinventing the wheel, but this Golf Pride Align grip really has broken the mould. Its key feature is the raised ridge on the back of the grip. By feeling this ridge each time you hold a club, you’ll have a physical aid to your grip position. This will help you achieve more consistent hand placements, which should only lead to more consistent results.

Stuck for space?

If you’re considering a new electric trolley this year there’s no reason to look anywhere else. Motocaddy’s improved range for 2018 offers a choice of two series – S-Series and M-Series – and for those of you with a space restriction like a smaller boot, we think the M-Series is the perfect choice.

Motocaddy M1 PRO
This fantastic model folds down roughly 40% smaller than traditional electric trolleys thanks to its innovative frame design. It’s both small and mighty thanks to nine speed settings and an adjustable distance control so you can send it away. It also boasts a locking base design to stop your bag wobbling and an accessory holder with a USB port.

Motocaddy M3 PRO
This trolley takes the M1 PRO and adds some bells and whistles that we think gadget lovers will really like. You get a colour screen that displays a lost ball timer, round timer, clock and battery meter, plus you can measure your drives and the trolley’s total distance covered.

New: Vokey SM7 wedges

If you're thinking of putting new wedges in your bag for the season ahead one thing is for certain: Vokey's SM7 wedges include every loft and grind you could ask for.

But with countless options available it is so important that you don't buy straight off the shelf, but instead come and see a member of the team for a wedge fitting so that you walk away with wedges that are perfectly suited to your game.
