Fitting news

PING at Abbeydale

Thanks to all the members who attended the PING fitting day on a very wet Monday morning. We had some great gains with the new G410 driver.

Golf trip

Abbeydale Portugal Pro-Am

Our annual trip to Portugal takes place from Sunday. 6 October - Thursday, 10 October.

We have a few places available. If you are interested and would like further information please speak to us in the golf shop.

Walking on sunshine

Is there a better time than summer to be out playing golf? Silly question, really. So, now you’ve got your cap on and you’re lathered in sun lotion, it’s time to make sure the most important part of your body (arguably) is protected: your eyes.

Oakley Mercenary sunglasses

UV protection

You don’t need us to tell you that staring straight at the sun is not the smartest idea, but these sunglasses come with UV protection to keep those harmful rays at bay.

Enhanced vision

The best thing about the Mercenary is that it comes with Oakley's Dark Prizm lenses, which help to improve colour, contrast and detail for maximum clarity on the course.

Stylish look

Last but by no means least, these sunnies are incredibly stylish with a modern frame and larger lens shape, meaning you'll happily wear them all day long.

Looking for something else?

If the Mercenary doesn't tickle your fancy then not to worry, we have a huge collection of Oakley sunglasses available online to get delivered to store for you to pick up at your convenience - simply click on the button below to browse the range.

Lost your groove?

Much like the tyres on your car, there comes a time when the grooves on your wedges have worn away so much that they need replacing. This process occurs slowly over time and is something that you might not notice at first glance, but when the wear becomes apparent it can have serious consequences on your game.

Fresh vs worn grooves

It might seem a little extreme, but the graphic above illustrates the impact worn grooves can have on shots into greens - a lower ball flight that rolls out farther compared to a wedge with fresh grooves.

Yes, you might be able to adapt by pitching the ball shorter and letting it roll out, but when you don't have much green to work with or are playing a delicate shot worn grooves will be of no use.

What do we suggest?

If dirt, grit and water have visibly harmed your wedge face, it’s time to get your groove back with a new wedge set-up.

One model that we'd certainly recommend trying is Vokey's SM7 wedge. These feature a unique face texture that produce more consistent groove edges for maximum spin and control around the greens.

Vokey wedges are trusted by some of the world's best golfers, including Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas, so you can guarantee they'll add performance to your game.
