PGA Winter Alliances
Brocton Hall members have been well represented in the Staffordshire PGA Winter Alliances lately. I counted 16 Brocton members playing in the first event at Trentham, Mike’s teams have been in the prizes as well as individual pro prize wins, Luke won the team event at Great Barr, my team of John Hall, Dave Taylor and Rob Mills won last week at Enville and Luke won again this week with Simon Harbridge, Ben Gamble and Richard Gee. |
There are a couple of events before Christmas at Drayton Park and Druids Heath before a break in January and February - Let any of us know if you’d like to play.

Iron measurement…
I was measuring some of the irons in our demo matrix this week, specifically their Centre of Gravity and it’s not where you might expect it to be. I do the same thing with woods and the C of G generally appears right in the centre of the face. With irons however the position is clearly much higher and more towards the heel than you might expect. This raises more questions than answers - Is it because the loft of the club distorts the location? Is it because the club face won’t close and square up to the target if the C of G was right in the middle?
Either way, it’s interesting to note that all models appear in almost exactly the same place. The reason I was doing the test was to check that our custom fitting adapters, which we apply to each club, don’t affect the clubs centre. With a combination of grinding the hosel lengths down, drilling weight out the head and applying different materials back into the hosels, we’ve managed to get every head to within 1 gram of each other. This means that you can put any shaft into every clubhead and hit it for real, then simply swap the clubhead and compare models across all the brands including Srixon, Callaway, TaylorMade, Mizuno, PING, Miura, Cobra and Titleist.

Is it still too early to talk about it? |
We might be five weeks away from the big day itself, but it won’t be long before radio stations start playing Jingle Bells and this year’s John Lewis ad captures the nation’s attention. When it comes to Christmas shopping, we have a fantastic selection of stocking fillers available in the pro shop and even more ready to be purchased on our Click and Collect website. |
From headcovers to sweaters and even the old traditional gift of socks, you’ll be able to find exactly what you’re looking for through us. You might even spot something you want adding to your list of gifts this year! |
So, why not take some of the stress out of the chaotic high street shopping by doing yours with us? If you order by 2pm on Friday 20th December, we can guarantee it’ll be delivered to us in time for you to pick up before Christmas. |
