Spent the morning shopping for new shoes. The last pair served me well , in fact since I was a beginner, but a recent hole in the left shoe was the prod I needed to invest in a new pair.
First stop was American golf where I correctly assumed that the widest choice in my local area would be, the choice was wide, but they had nothing that I liked in my size!
So I stopped by the Pro shop at our club. there was only a few uninspiring pair on display and I was thinking about where to try next when the pro asks what size? Into the back room he goes and out comes a pair of Footjoy Sport in my size, the very style I had wanted to try in AG earlier.
Not only do they fit like a glove, but they were last years model and so priced at £70 instead of the £99 that AG wanted.
Suffice to say that I brought them on the spot. Our pro shop never fails to amaze me. We also got talking about custom fit, he has a fitting set by Taylor Made and has offered me a fitting to determine what shafts and loft/lie I should be using, all for free!
I'll find some time after my coming lesson to take him up on the offer. Talking about the lesson, I booked in next Thursday with Mark the head teaching pro at the golf academy. Can't wait to see what he recommends.
Now, I should be out practising, but it keeps bombing down with rain every 1/2 hour or so. I'm feeling a distinct lack of motivation because I just know it's going to be a mud bath, however time to drag my sorry rear out into the cold, so bye for now!
