Fleetwood's got one. Scott's got one. Scheffler's tested one. 👀

The TaylorMade r7 Quad Mini Driver has landed at EGPC.

Smaller head. Shorter shaft. Way more control when the fairway gets tight — which is why it's taking over tour bags right now.
But here's the thing: the shorter shaft that helps them find fairways will do even more for YOUR strike. Four movable weights, Twist Face and a Speed Pocket mean it works off the tee and off the deck. 🎯

Four weight settings. One right answer for your swing. Let's find it on the GCQuad. 📊

As you know, Charlie is leaving us…. for now.

He’s off to Royal Dornoch, one of the great links courses anywhere in the world, tucked up in the Highlands. He’ll be combining it with his studies at the University of Stirling, all working towards becoming a PGA Professional. I couldn’t be prouder of him for it.

I took Charlie on three years ago and watched him become a critical part of not just my business, but the Burnley Golf Club family. From working in the pro shop to working behind the bar, Charlie is respected by members and visitors.

So go and enjoy it, Charlie. You’ve earned it. And the good news for everyone here is that he won’t be gone for long, he’ll be back with us at Christmas, Easter and over the summer.

All the best, mate.

Paul

📮 POSTCARDS FROM CARNOUSTIE — 2011

Day one of the AIG Women's Open, and the world's best have landed on the Lancashire coast for the 50th staging of the Championship at Royal Lytham & St Annes.

Which makes this the perfect week to send a postcard back to 2011.
Because fifteen years ago, a Lancashire girl who'd come up through the junior ranks at Pleasington and Accrington teed it up in the Ladies British Open at Carnoustie — one of the toughest tests in golf, on the biggest stage in the women's game.
That was our very own Nikki Foster.

A few successful seasons followed, then a ten-year step away from competitive golf to raise a family. Fast forward to 2026, and Nikki is a PGA Professional heading up the pro shop and coaching centre at Whalley Golf Club, and part of the Elite Golf coaching team — passing on everything that Carnoustie week taught her.

From England international, to the Open at Carnoustie, to the lesson tee at Whalley. Not a bad journey.
So while you're watching the drama unfold at Lytham this week and fancy a bit of that magic in your own game — Nikki's diary is open.

⏳ Don't sleep on these — grab yours before they're gone! 🏃💨

Even the world's best golfers have coaches. Why don't you? ⛳

Major champions. Ryder Cup players. Tour professionals.
Every one of them has a coach.
Not because they're struggling, but because they know there's always another level to reach.

The biggest myth in golf is that lessons are only for beginners.

The reality? Coaching is about understanding why your ball does what it does, building repeatable habits, and removing the guesswork that costs shots.

Whether your goal is to:
Break 100, 90 or 80
Hit the ball more consistently
Eliminate that one frustrating miss
Prepare for competition
Or simply enjoy the game more

A structured coaching plan will get you there faster than trying to fix it yourself.

At Elite Golf Performance Centres, we combine PGA expertise with industry-leading technology including TrackMan 4 and GCQuad to build coaching around your swing, your body and your goals—not a one-size-fits-all method. Every session is designed to deliver measurable, lasting improvement.

Up the Clarets! 🍷💙

Just landed at our Burnley Golf Club pro shop: the brand new PING Hoofer Lite carry bag in claret and blue — the colours of champions.

Built for the walking golfer, the Hoofer Lite strips away the bulk of the classic Hoofer without sacrificing storage.

Five-way top, plenty of pockets for balls, tees and gloves, and a premium lightweight feel that saves your energy for what matters — thinking your way round the course and shooting lower scores.

Not a claret and blue fan? No problem.

We've got a full range of bags and colourways across all Elite Golf Performance Centres locations.

Call in and see us, or get in touch on 07944 535620. ⛳🏌️

Stop guessing. Start improving. 📈

Ever wondered why the ball flies the way it does? We'll show you — frame by frame.

Our coaching isn't a one-size-fits-all lesson off a mat. It's a programme built around YOU — your swing DNA, your goals, your schedule. Powered by TrackMan 4 and GCQuad, you'll see exactly what's happening at impact and get corrective steps that are simple to apply and easy to repeat.

🏌️ Everyday golfers wanting more confidence
👦 Juniors building foundations that last
🏆 Competitive players sharpening up for tournament season
🔄 Returning golfers finding their rhythm again

Indoor performance studios or out on the course — whatever works for your game. No guesswork. No generic fixes. Just measurable, lasting improvement.

Every golfer is welcome. Every golfer improves. 💪

Old school looks. New school performance. ⛳

The 90s called... and honestly? We're keeping the jacket.

Retro is officially back on the course. adidas has gone full throwback this season — heritage colour-blocking, the classic 3-Stripes, that unmistakable track jacket silhouette — all rebuilt with modern performance fabrics that actually work when the Lancashire weather does its thing. 🌧️

The best part? You don't have to choose between looking good and playing well anymore. Style points AND swing speed.

Come see the new adidas range in store — and while you're here, why not get dialled in on the GCQuad? Dress like it's 1985, hit it like it's 2026. 🚀
