I can't believe that I am already ordering for the next Autumn /Winter season. Linda and I made a visit to Bishops Stortford GC this week to view the ranges from Under Armour and our Ladies fashion suppliers for delivery in September this year.
Under Armour are continuing to go from strength to strength and is fast becoming a leading brand in golf. With their very fashionable outdoor wear they are totally focused on quality and performance with the cut of their garments and fabrics all geared to keep you warm and dry but not sacrificing the flexibility and movement a golfer requires.
Don't forget we still have some superb bargains left in our ladies clothing sale which is on at the moment.

Take advantage of our club fitting offer. Until the end of February we are offering FREE club fitting sessions (Normal price £25) using our Launch monitor and demo equipment. Take advantage of our impartial expert advice to improve your golf and avoid making expensive mistakes. Member Paul Brown last week visited the Titleist National Fitting centre at St Ives and had a complete club fit. Paul made changes with his set all the way from his woods through to hybrids, irons and wedges. Paul had a thoroughly enjoyable day with Titleist and has now got his ideal matched set of clubs in the bag. Paul's new clubs have been fitted with slightly heavier shafts which improved both the distance and accuracy of his shots. The information to make such improvements is only available when you are fitted using a launch monitor.
This week's Pro -Am - Saffron Walden
It was the turn of Saffron Walden GC on Thursday this week to host this month's Cambs & Beds PGA Pro Am from their winter series.
A team representing The Links was made up by Karen and Wayne Cook, Will Conlon and Jonny Sharkey. The event was supported by over 20 teams and Professionals from clubs across the region with scoring on the day very good for this time of the year.
The Links team finished on a very creditable -6 but didn't quite make it into the prizes. However Jonny managed to get his competitive year off to a good start picking up money with a level par 72 to finish third in the Pro's individual event.
The next event is at John O Gaunt GC next month with the March event to be hosted at the Links.
Have a good week on the Links

If you're looking to add a new set of irons to your bag this year, then be sure to check out the Lynx range in store. The Parallax irons should appeal to a wide range of golfers. They produce a lovely ball flight, whilst offering forgiveness and workability. Come and take a look for yourself.
