A BIg Thank You

I wanted to start this week’s newsletter by thanking you all for supporting our business this year so far. It has been an incredibly busy first 5 months of 2019 at Noah’s Ark. Since investing in Trackman 4 and SAM Putt Lab at the start of this year, the number of golfers we have custom fitted for new clubs has increased by 128%!

This has been fantastic news for us and local golfers alike and has led to us taking on Alex Simpson as our new PGA of Scotland Modern Apprentice. Alex has been with us for just over 2 months now and has settled in very well, learning all aspects of our business.

We are strengthening our position as the leading independent golf retailer in the area and we will continue to look at new ways to offer you a better service.

Coaching news

Golf swing myths – Keep your head down

Keep your head down!

These are some of the most destructive words of advice you can be given on the golf course.

Although said with good intention, you will only hear these words from your playing partners and never from a professional golf coach.

I like to use the phrase “always watch the ball”. This swing thought will help keep your head still on the backswing and as you move towards impact.

It is however very important that your head begins to rotate toward target once the ball is struck, as this creates the freedom of movement required to make a complete and full follow through.

Trying to keep your head down will cause you to get trapped at impact and make it very difficult to swing through freely, resulting in an incomplete end position.

I am not advocating any form of lifting your head, but instead am asking you to allow your head to rotate through impact in sync with your body movement, just like the pro’s do.

Pitlochry Golf

Group Golf at Pitlochry

Golf Tips with Gary Casey

In this week’s video, Gary will show you a shot that can save you many shots from your scorecard. It’s amazing just how many shots amateur golfers fritter away from around the green, but not any longer following today’s advice…

It's well worth a watch, so simply Click Here.

Time for a little reflection

Who doesn’t love the month of June? Long evenings, blistering sunshine (might be a little optimistic here) and plenty of opportunities to hit the course. With much of the season left to go and more competitions on the horizon, it’s time to take note of how you’ve been playing so far this year.

Scenario 1

Hopefully, you've been playing regularly to your handicap or, better still, shooting under it. If that’s the case then happy days, keep up the good work!

But we all know there’s room for improvement.

Perhaps you don’t use a particular club as often as you could simply out of a lack of confidence with it? Or maybe you’re struggling with a destructive shot that is impacting your scores?

Scenario 2

On the other hand, you might be struggling to put a good score together no matter what you try.

Some of you may be recalling a lesson you had from several years back or searching the web for a quick-fix only to be suffering further?

Whether you’re in need of lessons, new equipment or a confidence boost, make sure you utilise our professional advice and skill set by speaking to a member of the team in-store.

The results are in...

Early spring is a great time of year at the golf club as the course begins to take shape and the latest golf gear lands in your very own pro shop. Now that we’re fully stocked and more of you are venturing up the club on a weekly basis, we thought we'd treat you to our top three picks in the footwear department for 2019.

adidas Tour360 XT SL

The brother of the Tour360 XT (which also gets our vote), this shoe is the first spikeless model in the Tour360 franchise.

adidas say it is the best-gripping spikeless shoe they have ever offered, whilst it also boasts a soft and waterproof upper - what a combination!

adidas ForgeFibre Boa

If you haven’t experienced the snug-like fit you get from the Boa Fit System, you need to give this adidas shoe a try.

In addition to Boa, its mesh upper is highly breathable and waterproof, whilst ForgeFibre technology looks great and adds fantastic durability and strength.

adidas Tour360 XT

Just by looking at the Tour360 XT, you can see why it makes our top three list but that is not the only reason.

It's been majorly revamped for 2019 with a new and improved outsole for better grip than ever before, whilst its 360 Wrap and Boost cushioning ooze comfort.

Spotlight: PING's latest driver

The G410 range, which was released at the beginning of 2019, is seriously impressive and has resulted in some very happy golfers at the club.

Well, to sit alongside the G410 Plus and G410 SFT drivers, PING has just released the G410 LST, which stands for Low Spin Technology.

Which of these three drivers is best for you? Let's find out during a one-to-one custom fit session.

Video of the Week

Who deserves to be referred to as golf's G.O.A.T (Greatest Of All Time)? For many, it boils down to two individuals: Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus.

Hope you enjoyed the newsletter and have a great weekend.
