Launch it higher, straighter and longer...

It was another busy week behind us in the Pro Shop and a very successful Wilson Staff fitting day with lots of custom fit orders waiting on delivery to customers.

I thought I would highlight the Wilson Staff LP range of irons and woods which have been extremely popular this year.

This is a new category of clubs aimed at those seeking an easier to launch ball flight on their irons and woods.

The woods are offset with a draw bias which dramatically reduces the effects of a sliced shot which, in turn, will straighten out your shot shape and add distance over the yardage sapping slice! The irons are hybrid like in appearance and offer extremely forgiving easy launch technology.

We have demos in all the woods and irons for ladies and gents to try before you buy.

Repairs service

It might not be your golf swing...

Ever wondered why you hit your 6 or 4 iron as far as your 5 iron ? or that you hit one particular iron great but the rest are pushed or pulled? The answer may not always lie with your swing! Lofts and lie angles that have moved through time can be the cause.

We have seen sets where 2 different irons have the same loft which means they will go the same distance, creating big gaps. Also, the lie angles can move causing you to either ground the toe or heel first causing an open or closed face. The result can be a push or pull through no fault of your own.

Loft and lie adjustments are only £25 per set which will give you consistent gaps and distances through your set. It will also ensure that we match the lie angles to run properly through your set to match up with the specification of your favourite club, ensuring consistency through the set.

I have not worked on any set of irons that have been spot on from purchase date, so its well worth getting yours checked with us.

Time to get a grip...

We offer a full club repair service including re-gripping, re-shafting and loft and lie checks and adjustments.

We have grips from Golf Pride, Lamkin, Superstroke and Winn all available from £5.00 per club.

And to tempt you we are offering you a special offer on re-grips on 8 clubs or more giving you one more grip FREE of charge.

Coaching news

Struggling with your game?

Not getting better? Frustrated? Come and see us for a lesson or two and see if we can help you out.

Remember. The definition of madness is doing the same things over and over again and expecting different results! You will not improve unless you make changes...

If you would like to improve any area of your game from long game to chipping or putting, pop in to see us and we will do our best to accommodate a time.

We are extremely busy with lessons at the moment and our spaces are filling up fast due to restrictions on the numbers of households we can work with each day.

Here is a simple but overlooked fix below and one of many simple corrections we can help you with. Simple errors in technique can lead to compensatory movements that can hinder your improvement.

Ball too far back in stance

This was causing Paul to get the hands too far forward, lean back on his right side on the downswing. To compensate for his sternum being too far in front of the ball stopping him from turning through impact. The result was a steep downswing, miss striking behind the ball and struggling to create the correct angle of attack to launch the driver and a loss of distance!

Ball in correct position

The correct position means the sternum is already behind the ball so Paul could get more centered at set up. After a short time working on correct movement, the new position allowed Paul to create a wider backswing, shallower angle of attack, sharper strike and more force into the back of the ball, resulting in a better strike and longer carry distances!

Wear our crest with pride

One of the best things about being a member of a golf club is becoming part of a community. It means different things to each person, but what better way to show your support than with a piece of beautiful club-crested clothing from the pro shop?

Thanks to our friends at Glenmuir, you can pick up an item of stylish clothing with our club crest beautifully added. Whether you’re playing home or away, our crest serves as the perfect addition to your golf outfit.

Glenmuir has been creating golf clothing since 1891 and specialise in the art of cresting; so much so that the European Ryder Cup team used them for every event between 1987 and 2014. You can't get a bigger advocate than that!

Pop by the pro shop the next time you're at Tulliallan Golf Club and we'll happily showcase our range of club crested product.

Spikeless comfort on the course

You simply cannot beat a hot summer day on the golf course. Of course, if you want to soak up the sun whilst strolling the fairways, you’ll need to feel comfortable underfoot.

Skechers Drive 4 golf shoes

Comfort is arguably the most important factor to consider when buying new golf shoes - we are walking for over four miles after all!

The Skechers Drive 4 and Max Rover spikeless golf shoes are two of the best shoes that tick this box.

In addition to comfort, their spikeless outsoles offer fantastic grip whilst you're hitting shots and allow you to wear them away from the course too.
