Greetings from Graeme Bell
East Kilbride Golf Club - PGA Golf Professional



This week I have been bending more metal than Uri Geller in a spoon factory. My Suuuuuuuper Doooooper Club measuring and altering machine has been proving a big hit as everyone is keen to see what their clubs are doing and if they are actually what they say they are. Unfortunately the vast majority have been all over the place and it is truly terrible that manufacturers have been doing this for years. Ever since the craft of club making was replaced with mass production, it has been a ticking tomb bomb and hopefully Professionals like me will help force them to change.

DIY PRO SHOP SOS

I like to think of myself as a bit of cross between a Nick Knowles and a Laurence Llewelyn Bowen when it comes to Interior Design. Unfortunately I am more of a Labrador Cross wearing a blindfold. My skills are limited but I just had to try and gain more space in the shop as I have a lot of exciting stock arriving. After 2 hours of deciding where the counter should move to, we finally moved it, then we chopped a bit off of it, then we raised the height and then we had to go home for the evening. It has taken us 3 full days to create an even better shop for you all and the stock will be arriving very, very soon. Our resident mannequins have been de-armed, de-legged and de-robed. Kieran was caught in many innocent but compromising situations with them right in the middle of the ladies sweep, but managed to talk his way out of any embarrassment. I have taught him well already!

PRACTICE AREA

I highlighted last week the poor condition of the practice area and the fact that very few players were replacing their divots. The greens staff worked hard and removed all the old divots last week which was great and the place started to look much better. Unfortunately in a matter of hours on Saturday, players had taken huge divots and left them lying without any effort to replace them. The practice ground will never recover if we don't look after it. All players that are using the area are meant to sign in with the Pro Shop and very few are actually doing this, so I would ask that if you are using the practice area then please sign in with the shop.

KIERAN SWING SPEED IS SERIOUSLY FAST

Kieran is one of the most relaxed chaps I have ever met but don't let this fool you as he possess one of the fastest club head speeds on the planet. On Saturday, Kenny Gallagher, Brad Gallagher and I were discussing club head speed and how we wanted more, especially Brad!!! We then started wondering about how fast Kieran 'LONG-BALL' McVicker's club head speed was. Relaxed, in fact near perpendicular, Kieran sauntered out onto the course with his shoe laces untied. I took my Radar box of tricks out of its armoured case and off we went.

Kieran pegged a ball up, swept his hair to one side, which took him around 5 minutes and then with the laziest swing produced 119mph. This made us all feel very sick and we all took shelter in the shop to discuss our strength and conditioning programs. To give you an idea of how fast that is, it's Tiger Wood's average swing speed and I bet you that he tied his shoelaces! Have a look at Kieran's effortless power below.

            


THE 2015 J LINDEBERG SPRING SUMMER COLLECTION HAS ARRIVED

We have just taken delivery from Sweden on our 2015 Spring/Summer J Lindeberg collection. J Lindeberg is a great brand not only for golf but also lifestyle fashion brand. What does that mean? Well it's a brand that can be worn on and off of the golf course. That means it gives you more for your investment! We are the only on course retailer within 30 miles to have this collection and this is pretty special considering its worldwide appeal. Our prices are also much cheaper than any UK online retailer, so you are really getting even more value when you shop with us. Pop into the shop and have a look through the collection.

GRIP PROMOTION

Many times in my life I have been told to 'Get a grip' and now it's your turn. Did you know that having a good grip on your clubs can increase your club head speed by up to 3mph.

That could mean 10 yards onto each of your shots without even doing anything! I am offering a great deal on one of my grips.

Get 12 clubs re-gripped for only £50 - save £46!! And have the clubs cleaned up as well!

EASTENDERS

One thing to have you more gripped than my Suuuuuuper Doooper Golf Machine is the current Eastenders story line, 'Who Killed Lucy Beale'. I admit it I'm hooked. By the time you read this it will be all over and the killer will have been revealed. So here is my prediction again, It's Abbey!!!!
