Wychwood Park

A new face

Hi everyone, my name is Ian Orrell and I am the new Golf Operations Manager here at Wychwood Park. I have been here for three weeks now and I am just finding my feet. I probably haven’t met many of you yet as the weather has been so horrendous but hopefully that will change pretty soon as we start to move closer to the season.

Let’s start by letting you know who I am and where I have come from. I have been a Qualified PGA Golf Professional since 2000, just as I type this, I’ve realised that’s 20 years. Wow, where did that go?

I started my golf at Bury Golf Club as a junior going on to become the assistant there for 18 months. I then moved to Stand Golf Club before I took on my first Head Professionals job in 2003 at Poulton Park Golf Club. In 2011 I then became Head Professional/Director of Golf at Bolton Golf Club and it’s there I have been since joining the team here at the start of February.

We have a pretty new team here now. Joining me is Steve, Robert and Chris. Our main goal is to get more people, playing more and better golf. By reading these emails every week you will learn how we can help you improve your game. There will be swing tips, advice on your equipment, new product reviews and so much more.

If there is anything that you would like to see covered in these newsletters, let me know. One of my main goals to improve communication and this is one channel to do that. Over the next few weeks, we will also be doing quite a bit on social media, so watch out for that!

I think it’s been a tricky few months, but I want you all to know that all the team is now in place and excited about the year ahead. We can’t wait to get to meet you all and if there is anything we can do to help you please stop and see us.

I look forward to seeing you all soon!

Happy Golfing!

Tour news

Brooks puts his foot down

Despite not swinging a club over the weekend, world number two Brooks Koepka still made plenty of headlines when he called out Patrick Reed for cheating. During a fascinating live interview last week, he said: “I don't know what he was doing, building sandcastles in the sand, but you know where your club is.”

The incident relates to the Hero World Challenge when Reed was handed a two-stroke penalty for appearing to improve his lie in the bunker – an incident which Reed maintains was merely a mistake. Former TV analyst Peter Kostis waded in claiming he has seen Reed ‘improve his lie four times now’.

So, with foul play top of mind, we want to know whether you think there is a difference between breaking the rules and cheating?

Titleist TS Metalwoods - Faster than yours

Unbearable tension

Last week we revealed a remarkable statistic regarding the number of golfers playing grips that are over a year old, but what impact does that actually have on your game? Well, we decided to do some digging...

Tension whilst gripping

Grips are made from rubber and are prone to wear and tear, just like the tyres on your car. When they become worn, your grips will lose tackiness and your hands will start to slip during the swing, resulting in poorer shots.

The thing is, you’ll likely overcompensate by holding on to your clubs too tight, creating more tension and stiffness during the swing.

Limited time offer in-store now

We know it sounds all doom and gloom, but it does make a huge difference to your game. That's why we're running this promotion at Wychwood Park Golf Club, so you can experience the benefits of a new grip first hand.

There’s no catch, just pop by the shop before your next round to take advantage.
