Hello Golfers,

Welcome to the latest edition of our weekly newsletter. In this week's email we launch a new era for our weekly communications, we take a closer look at your options in-store, and we pose an interesting question regarding the season's first major.

Enjoy the read.

Important news

Our new era has begun

Last week you received an email from us asking for your help. It wasn’t anything too onerous or time-consuming; simply sparing 20 seconds of your time to complete your golfing profile.

The reason we’re asking you to do this is so that we can start sending you personalised content that is more relevant to your golfing needs. For example, if you’re a lady golfer with a handicap of 28 then the weekly emails you receive will include ladies product that will be suited to your playing ability. Likewise, if you’re a gentleman off 12, we will begin sending you content that will help you to get your handicap down to the holy grail of single-figure digits.

Thank you to everyone who has already completed their profile and for those of you who haven’t been able to as of yet, please try and do so in the near future.

Club news

There’s no stopping our Captains!

Despite the weather last weekend our club showed great resilience in going ahead with the Captains Drive In and although we were unable to get Golf played we had a great turnout and since then the course has been drying out well and we managed to get some golf on Monday.

Hopefully the worst is behind us. Congratulations, well done and the very best of luck to our Captains Jim, Fionnuala and Junior Captain Kate for a great 2018.

Congratulations all round

On a non golfing note I must congratulate my old school Naas CBS on the fantastic achievement of winning the Leinster schools football championship, the first Kildare team ever to win it so well done to all involved and I know there was one or two golfers on the team.

Congratulations also to a big supporter of Naas Golf Club Tommy O’Callaghan who was indicted in to the GAA hall of fame and Tommy would be equally deserving of a similar place in Irish golf circles. Well done Tommy!

Tour news

Past it? Don’t think so…

A lot has been made of the exciting crop of young golfers at the top of the world rankings right now – and rightly so – but it’s been the old guard who has been grabbing all the headlines in recent weeks.

Following up Mickelson’s triumph at the WGC a couple of weeks ago was England’s Paul Casey, who secured a one-shot victory at last week’s Valspar Championship from none other than a certain Tiger Woods. Just seeing Tiger back in the hunt come the back nine on a Sunday made for fascinating viewing in itself, but it was great to see Casey return to the winner’s circle after his extended hiatus.

With Mickelson, Casey and Tiger all the other side of 40 it certainly shows that there is still a bit of life left in the old dogs yet. With the Masters just three weeks away, is your money on youth or experience?

Leather or synthetic?

From rain and thermal options to tour-favoured leather and more budget-friendly synthetic, there are lots of gloves for you to consider, which is why we’re here to lend a helping hand.

Tour favourite
Why do tour players choose leather? Well, leather gloves offer the best feel with the traction you need to generate power. It’s also moisture resistant so will stay soft for longer.

One glove that fits the bill perfectly is the Mizuno Pro Golf, which is worn on tour by Luke Donald. It’s made from premium cabretta leather for responsive feel with great grip, while its FlexMesh across the knuckles aids comfort and flexibility.

Great value
Synthetic materials are stretchy and lightweight, so suit a golf glove perfectly. They’re often used alongside leather palm sections to enhance flexibility, while they should also be more durable than leather models at the cost of a little less feel.

Why not come and try the Mizuno Comp Golf glove? It’s designed to offer durable traction with feel, with the latter enhanced by leather palm and thumb sections.

New season, new bag

We all look to freshen up our kit when the new season rolls around, but what about the one piece of equipment that houses everything? If you’ve been ignoring broken zips, worn dividers or tatty material, one of these bags could be the upgrade you need...

If you’re an all-weather golfer who loves your trolley, this lightweight BIG MAX Aqua Space cart bag could be your perfect piece of kit. It won’t just carry your clubs, clothing and accessories in its 14-way top and nine spacious pockets, but its 100% waterproof material, taped seams and waterproof zips will ensure your gear is protected, whatever the weather.

New: Skechers men's range

Those of you who have been in the shop over recent weeks will have noticed a lot of new products sitting on the shelves, including Skechers' 2018 shoe range.

Skechers trainers are synonymous with comfort and their GO GOLF range is no different. The Pro V.3, Elite V.3 and Focus 2 are all worn on tour and are a must try for anyone considering new golf shoes this year.
