Lundin Pro Shop

Hello Golfers,

Welcome to the latest edition of our weekly newsletter. In this week's email we ask you to settle a debate that we've been having, we answer a question that we hear all too often in the shop, and we take a closer look at some of the products sitting on the shelf.

Enjoy the read.

Time to settle the debate

When it comes down to watching golf on TV there are two types of tournaments: birdie feasts where the winning score is double-digit under par and the level-par struggle where victory is secured with a 72-hole total somewhere around par.

Sometimes the world’s best tear apart the courses they’re playing – supposedly the hardest tests in golf – by booming drivers 320+ yards on every hole and leaving just a flick to the green. But there are also times when they seem almost human, scratching around in a desperate attempt to salvage a par like in The Open.

So, the question we’re asking is: which do you prefer to watch? Do you like to see birdie after birdie on TV or does the ability to grind out pars with the occasional birdie make for better viewing for you? Let us know by clicking on the link below.

Competition results

Scoring was impressive!

Last weekend saw not only a strong entry but the sun also make an appearance and even more bizarrely some players wearing shorts! With the course now starting to shape up and the generous weather, the scoring was impressive with Stuart Hamilton carding a gross 69 (65) beating Douglas Young 72 (65) on the better back nine; the best gross score of the day was Grant McNab with as usual an impressive 68!

From viewing the twos recorded the greenkeepers had the pins in some generous positions on Saturday with 18 twos; each two earning you £12.58!

Shop news

It's been another week of unpacking!

Here in the pro shop we have been busy as always with the arrival of our latest deliveries. Over the past week we have seen the arrival of Oscar Jacobson, Motocaddy and ECCO footwear.

On display in-store...

Last week we brought you news of logo ball markers, headcovers, well this week we thought we'd draw your attention to our club-crested clothing from FootJoy which looks fantastic and performs superbly. We also have in display in-store the new shoe range from Skechers and with the drier weather on the horizon, these shoes are a good choice for the summer.

Come in-store and view what we have to offer!

The 3rd generation is almost here

Landing in-store early next month will be the brand new XR Speed driver and fairway wood from Callaway. The main attribute of the range is the increase in speed, which ultimately leads to greater distance – something we are all looking for. With ladies and men’s options available, click on the button below if you want to be one of the first golfers to try it out.

Consider a smart new look

As it seems to do every year, the Masters has ignited the season and prompted many of you to dust off your clubs and take to the course.

If this is you and you haven't been in the shop recently, make sure you come and take a look around as we have some fantastic new products sitting on the shelves, including our club crested range of apparel.

This Glenmuir Hatfield polo is a great option as it combines a modern look with subtle detail to create a really stylish shirt. It's made from high-performance stretch fabric that is manufactured to work with your swing; a huge benefit of buying golf-specific clothing from us rather than a cheap polo from the high street.

Are you a V or X?

When it comes to golf balls, there are two questions we hear on an almost daily basis, both concerning Titleist’s Pro V1 and Pro V1x. So we thought we’d take this opportunity to let you all know the answers...

What’s the difference between V and X?
Both of the Pro V1 balls are designed to provide long and short game performance, but there are subtle differences from tee-to-green.

While both feel soft, the Pro V1 is a little softer and has a penetrating flight that delivers more roll from the tee, whereas the Pro V1x feels firmer and flies higher.

Which one should I play?
If it’s a straight shootout between the Pro V1 and Pro V1x, then you’re going to benefit from distance, control and feel either way.

Both models are used on tour by players such as Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas, but it really comes down to your personal feel preference and which characteristics suit your game, which we can discuss during a ball fitting.
