Paul Mitchell Golf Academy

Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another exciting edition to Bristol & Clifton GC weekly newsletter. We hope that you're having a good week on and off the golf course. It's the May Medal this Saturday, and well it certainly doesn't feel like May right now!

Enjoy the read.

Academy news

On Friday 18th May at 10.00am we have a star of the PGA European Ladies Tour coming to Bristol & Clifton Golf Club for a Masterclass, followed by a Lynx Golf Demo Day.

Becky Brewerton has played for Europe against the Americans in two Solheim Cups as well as winning four times on the European Tour. Becky is a Lynx Ambassador and based in Milton Keynes. We are very fortunate for her to give up her time and offer her services for the morning.
Becky will be discussing and demonstrating the keys to her success as a player but afterwards will be available to help fit members into the latest golf clubs from Lynx.

This exciting event is completely FREE and will be held on the driving range. Hopefully the weather is kind and Becky can hit balls from the grass but the covered bays may come in handy!

If you would like to attend, please indicate your attendance with a member of the Pro Shop team. The FREE Lynx demo/fitting sessions will start from approximately 11am following the Masterclass and will go on for a couple of hours, so please feel free to come along and try the latest Lynx equipment.

After finishing his year two exams recently, Nick has been able to breathe and get back to normality by getting all excited with new stock arrivals, so over to Nick...

This week we received a couple of new additions to the shop. Firstly we have some Dwyers & Co trousers which have become really popular lately. These benefit from being stain resistant, breathable and have a stretch fabric for a more comfortable fit. We have a wide range of sizes, but if we don't have what you are looking for in stock we can always order in for you.

Also we have a new range of Bristol and Clifton logo leather head-covers. These fit blade and mallet putters, hybrids, fairway woods and drivers and come in either black, red, blue or white. We only have a couple in each model and colour so have a look next time you are here to a avoid disappointment.

Thanks very much Nick! The men’s trousers have already been well received and I am very pleased with the quality of the new range of club crested headcovers from Asbri Golf.

The shop is taking shape and the new clothing is ready to buy. We just need some nice weather to help sales. The Spring/Summer range of men’s Under Armour clothing looks lovely and fresh as well as the new collections of Ladies’ Green Lamb and Glenmuir clothing. Lady members are able to grab a Pro Shop 15% Discount Voucher from the desk in the Ladies Changing Rooms which entitles them to a saving on any of the new collections. We printed fifty vouchers, so take advantage and grab yourself one.

Woody arrived at Heathrow a week last Monday to find out that his flight to China had been cancelled and he would have to wait all day to catch a plane to Sweden and then another plane onto China. The thought of travelling for 24 hours, arriving at the hotel on Tuesday to try to get a few hours’ sleep at 4pm our time only to wake up at 9pm and get ready to play in the Pro Am at 11pm (our time) was just too much. A week at home working on his game with me sounded a much better prospect, so he grabbed the next National Express back to Bristol.

Chris has a few weeks off now before playing in Belgium and then onto Wentworth for the PGA Championships. The timing of the break is good as we have a lot to work on and it’s never easy to make improvements when he’s off playing at tournaments. He’s coming together very nicely and we are seeing some great progress.

Have a great week everyone.

Paul, Caren, Nick, Andy and Luke.

It's a shoo-in

Many of you ask for our advice when buying something new in-store, so we thought we’d showcase our top shoes for 2018 in this week’s newsletter. Drumroll, please…

FootJoy DryJoys Tour

Follow in the footsteps of tour stars like Adam Scott and Henrik Stenson and try this FootJoy DryJoys Tour. We’re fans of its traditional look and waterproof leather uppers, plus we love the stable hitting platform its cleated outsole provides.

FootJoy ContourFIT

If you prioritise comfort, we think this FootJoy ContourFIT shoe should be at the top of list to try. Its features include an achilles pad to keep your foot secure, an extra thick insole for extreme underfoot comfort and a spacious rounded toe profile.

FootJoy Pro/SL

If you’d like to add off-course versatility to your shoe options so you can go straight from work to the course, this FootJoy Pro/SL is one popular option thanks to its lightweight comfort, smart leather uppers and durable spikeless outsole.

It's 14 clubs for a reason

This week marks the start of a series of articles where we focus on making sure that you are getting the very most out of the clubs in your bag. A key way to do this is to look at your set as one, rather than breaking it down into woods, irons and wedges.

What does your set look like?
As you know, we’re big advocates of custom fitting for golfers of all standards. Many of you have taken advantage of this and are now hitting the ball further and straighter than you ever have before.

While this is fantastic, if you’re hitting your woods further you may have been left with a fiddly gap to your longest iron; likewise, if your new irons are a club longer then you will inevitably have a gap after your PW.

Look at your clubs as a whole
It’s only by looking at your set as a whole that you’ll be able to spot and react to any gaps, meaning you’ll have a club for every shot you could face on the course.

If you’re a fan of Callaway like us, you’ll know they offer a great range of clubs to ensure you’re never stuck for options. Their Rogue driver and fairway wood offer powerful and forgiving flights, while its Rogue X hybrid comes in 18 degrees to 32 degrees so we can perfectly gap your long game.

Where are your gaps?
Callaway also offers 12 different iron models for you to try and their Mack Daddy 4 wedge comes in nine lofts between 46-64° so we can create the best set-up possible during a fitting or gapping session.

The myth that custom fitting is only for better golfers couldn't be further from the truth. Whilst the very best are looking for that extra 1%, a custom fitting for the average club golfer regularly produces results that even surprise us! Make 2018 your best golfing year yet by getting in touch via the button below.
