What’s new in the shop? We have plenty of new crested stock in both Outerwear and T-Shirts that will sell through quickly and these would make a great option as an early Christmas present. We have an overstock of junior wear, both crested and non-crested and will be having a half term sale on these items next week so grab a bargain quick for the juniors as there are some real nice pieces in stock.
Layer Up!
It’s that time of the year again when it can be really mild and then really cold not only in the space of days, but hours, so it is really important to be ready for the coming weather. The big thing in golf and many outdoor sports recently has been the need to “layer” rather than bulk wear. The most important part of this clothing process is the first point of contact with the skin and with being out in the open compression wear has become so important. These pieces are like an extra layer of skin, thermal qualities in wear, but also steeped in medical advantages as well. They can feel quite tight and uncomfortable when you first put them on, but after about 10 minutes you will not even realize they are on. This is the now famous “skin” wear that most people talk about. It has many properties, the most important one is the one that is talked about the least. On a cold day the compression properties of these garments keep a constant blood flow to the vessels that would normally not receive it on a cold day. The body tends to protect itself during cold and protect the inner most important organs therefore giving the feeling of cold on the skin. These pieces trick the body into increased blood circulation acting the same way as compression stockings. When you start to wear one of these pieces you will never go out on a cold day without one. We have new Skin products in from Stuburt in the shop retailing at €35 and also have the same piece from Galvin Green retailing at €60. These would be a great addition to your winter apparel and could be worth many a shot on the closing holes on a cold winters night coming down the stretch when normally the cold would be getting hold of your tiredness. They also then reduce the need to bulk up with heavy multilayers increasing your freedom to swing properly.
New irons on the market
We do have an overstock of many of this year’s clubs that we will be looking to sell on coming into the winter period. The launch of Titleist’s new irons and the unbelievable P790, that TaylorMade have just this morning informed us are out of custom fit stock till December 20th; have both really upped their game in a market that had been a bit stale for a few years. The companies now realize the look that a lot of players desire, this coupled with the modern technology that gives the desired result. It will be an exciting time over the next few months as there will be two very similar products releasing from both Callaway and PING destined to make 2018 a year when P790, AP3 and the two new products from Callaway slog it out for top spot.
