We are getting to that time of the year very quickly when the nights are drawing in and the days are getting a bit colder and shorter. On the back of this we will be clearing all the summer stock out at silly prices in the next few months getting ready for the new season. This will include the most up to date drivers, fairways, hybrids, Irons, wedges and putters that are in stock. A lot of 2016 product is not changing for the new year and there has been a lot of new releases so this would be the best time to get a real bargain, maybe before the Christmas panic starts.

There is now a restock of waterproof bags and now we have the Sun Mountain, Titleist and Motocaddy all in stock. These will be retailing at €280 for the Sun Mountain, €250 for the Titleist and Motocaddy. These bags are the perfect accessory for the winter, and summer, and are so light weight along with the complete dry proofing. Come in and have a look as we often look past this very important piece of equipment.

The winter range of Galvin Green is starting to drop into the shop early next week in both Waterproofs and layering/warm products which are perfectly designed for all the needs of the all year round golfer. From Tuesday onwards we will be have a good selection of FootJoy t-shirts, Ashworth T-shirts, FootJoy wind tops wind tops all on sale with the club logo. These are limited to the sizes that are in the shop but will be reduced by almost 30% on the summer selling value. Also we will have the junior crested t-Shirts and hoodies available from the same day along with Junior club baseball hats with full colour crest. Remember if there is any item that you would need or want crested we can get it done for you, probably to be safe there is about a 10 day turnaround on it.

I will be adding to our stock selection in next few weeks with the introduction of Mizuno into our shop range. This has always been a very popular product, especially with the better player, so I will give it a go to see how it goes as there has been a few asking for it. Along with this Cobra/Puma will be introduced into the shop going forward. We cannot stock everything but can put our hands on most things pretty quickly through our warehouse service from Foremost golf, so please ask if I do not have anything.

Junior lessons will be on this week for 2 hours on Thursday, 5.30 to 6.30 and 6.30 to 7.30 followed by the Saturday afternoon session between 1pm to 2pm.*remember there are no lessons tomorrow* There are none on Tuesday as we qualified to play in the final of the junior pro-am at powers court so I will be playing with our team from the club. There will not be any lessons the following week as I am away on holiday before the schools start back. After this the lessons will run as normal right up to Halloween at the normal times on a Tuesday 5.30-6.30, Thursday 5.30-6.30-7.30 and Saturday 1-2pm, weather permitting.

Ladies lessons will be on Wednesday at 11 am and 6 pm as normal and we will be wiring on playing out of the rough and uphill, downhill lies so come along as normal for the whole time or whatever time suits you.
