Whether it’s a new driver, glove, bag, golf balls, rainsuit or jumper you’re looking for, you’ll find your perfect Christmas gift in the pro shop.

We have all the latest equipment and apparel from the top manufacturers as well as plenty of stocking fillers including golf balls, tees, gloves, ball markers and pitch mark repairers to name but a few.

Below is a guide to what we think are the best buys this Christmas in the various categories. But whatever golfing presents you are looking for this Christmas drop into the pro shop, and we’ll help you find them.

As most of you will know Richard was at the European Tour Senior School in Portugal last month.

By his own admission he wasn't playing his best golf of the year. However he managed to do enough to get through the first stage of qualifying, but missed out on the finals day play.

He must know rely on qualifying at some of the open events, something he has done with great success the past 2 years.

A quick mention must go to Ricky's caddie for the event, Mark Oliver who did a sterling job through out the event and was hospitalised for two days on his return home with food poisoning.  

The new G15 driver must be at the top any golfer's Christmas wish list! It is engineered for golfers seeking a maximum forgiveness driver that delivers distance and accuracy and follows on from the massive success of PING's G10 driver.

Its 460cc titanium head is longer front-to-back and features PING’s patented ultra thin crown technology. Weight savings from the thin crown are positioned as an external sole weight to optimise the centre of gravity for higher trajectories and reduced spin.

SSP: £189.00

Another winner from Taylormade, who are No1. in the metal wood market. The TaylorMade R9 Fairway wood has their new Flight Control Technology (FCT) which lets you change the face angle, loft and lie, while Movable Weight Technology (MWT) lets you change the clubhead's centre of gravity.

FCT and MWT together offer total adjustability to promote up to 75 yards of side-to-side trajectory change. New classic clubhead shape combines super-high MOI and easy-launching CG position.

A Fujikura Motore 65-gram shift with High Inertia Tip (HITTM) technology promotes faster ball speed.

SSP: £169.00

We have a number of club crested sweaters and shirts available in the pro shop from the suppliers of the European Ryder Cup team clothing Glenmuir. They come in many different colours in crew neck and v-neck.

Why not show your pride in being part of the club by putting a club-crested sweater on your Christmas list this year?

Prices range from SSP: £39.95

Congratulations to James Megson who scored his first hole in one on the 16th at Baildon.

James bagged his ace with a 9 iron whilst playing in the Sunday morning 4 ball.

"I nearly holed in on the 10th and my Dad was mocking me for not having one yet as he has had 2! Bizarely enough I stood over my 9 iron on 16 and thought I was going to hole it. Low and behold it left the bat and it never left it. Pitch mark was 18 inches short and there at the bottom of the cup my Pro v1 was winking at me!"

James can be seen here with his brother John performing as Megwood, the best Jedwood tribute band in the land!

A golfer is just like a car in that it should be serviced every year and what better time to service your game than during the winter, when there is less opportunity to get out on the course?

Whether your game needs a complete overhaul or a bit of fine tuning pop into the pro shop and book a lesson.

There are a wide range of lessons available to suit your needs so call in anytime and we’ll be happy to talk you through what is best for your game. My prices are as follows;

1/2 hour standard lesson - £15.00
1 hour standard lesson - £30.00 
9 hole Playing lesson -£60.00

We can also give your equipment a full MOT as constant ball striking takes its toll on your equipment, but you may not notice the smallest of defects. We can check everything on your equipment from the club’s loft, lies, grips and every component to ensure it is in full working order.
