Running on empty?

If your electric trolley is struggling to make it round 18 holes then it might be time you upgraded its battery. There's been a huge push towards Lithium batteries in recent years as they last longer, charge quicker and are more lightweight than previous Lead Acid equivalents. So, if it's time you change your electric trolley battery, bring your old one in-store and enjoy £25 OFF a brand-new Lithium one.

The Masters

Woods you believe it?

It would take a heart of stone not to have been moved by Tiger’s Masters victory on Sunday night. Sure, the American divides opinion when it comes to his off-course antics, but that should take nothing away from the magnitude of his victory at the most famous of tournaments.

Two-years ago, Woods required a nerve-blocker just to attend the Champions' Dinner and all but admitted his game was done. A spinal fusion surgery later and Tiger has completed arguably the greatest comeback of all time.

Tiger's triumph was matched by Molinari's misfortune, with the Italian squandering a two-shot lead on the back nine as he found the water twice in the space of four holes.

With the next two majors taking place at courses where the great man has won before - Bethpage Black and Pebble Beach - could we be in-store for something special in 2019?

Mind the gap

Do you often find yourself stuck between clubs? One club will launch too far beyond your target whilst the other will leave you short. If so, you're either very unlucky or you need to come and see us for a gapping session.

Example of poor distance gapping

Distance gapping is the art of putting your set together whilst ensuring each gap between one club and the next is equal.

Take your wedges as an example. Say you have a PW with around 46 degrees of loft and sand wedge at 56 degrees; this 10-degree gap could leave you with a distance gap of around 30 yards or more! What do you do if you need to play a shot right in the middle of those distances?

The same can be said at the other end of your set, but usually this will involve two clubs going the same distance. If you have a 3-iron in the bag as well as a hybrid and a 5-wood, chances are you'll be hitting them similar distances - so it's time for one to go!

If any of this is resonating with you, then let’s get you booked in before you head out for your next round.

Let the battle commence

Classic or sporty? Colourful or traditional? Style is a personal choice and with brands offering up any number of designs, we have never had so much choice when it comes to your footwear options. With this in mind, we pit two styles up against one another in the ultimate battle of the shoes.

Which will you choose?

The battle between athletic and bold purely comes down to taste but one thing is undeniable, both the Under Armour HOVR Drive and Fade RST 2 shoes will have you oozing confidence at address whichever one your taste swings towards.

In the blue corner we have the HOVR Drive that takes its inspiration from UA's running department. HOVR foam provides total comfort whilst the red detailing on the midsole adds a touch of class and contrasts perfectly with the white design.

In the red corner we have the Fade RST 2 that gives the wearer the choice of black or white colour styling. It features a moulded rotational resistance spikeless & spiked hybrid outsole for performance on the tee and the green.

Both shoes are worthy winners but which is your favourite?

We have a great footwear offering in-store so be sure to pop in and try some on to ensure you get the perfect fit.

Video of the Week

22 years on from his first Green Jacket, Tiger answered questions surrounding his ability to win another major title in emphatic fashion on Sunday afternoon. Now there's just one question remaining: will he reach Jack's record of 18 major triumphs?

We hope you enjoyed this newsletter. If you need any help or advice with your game or equipment please pop into the shop and we'll be delighted to help. Regards Jon and the Golf Team.
