Hello Golfers,

We hope you're well.

There are some important questions we're asking of you in this week's email - but don't worry, it's nothing too taxing! We also have a fantastic Video of the Week from the European Tour where a golfer attempts to break a Guinness World Record! This one's definitely worth a watch.

As always, if there's anything that you see in this week's email that you'd like to give a try or get your hands on, get in touch and we'll be happy to help.

Enjoy the read.

Golf on Tour

Hovland set for Ryder Cup debut

Sam Burns took the fight to Florida’s famous Copperhead course, staying in the 60s all week to win the Valspar Championship with a -17 total. Finding the water on the par-3 13th cost Keegan Bradley his shot at the title, while Victor Hovland continued a fantastic season with a T3 finish; now sitting third in the FedEx Cup rankings. He’s a special talent and looks likely to be part of Europe's Ryder Cup team come September.

It also takes something special to beat a Major champion, and Hyo Joo Kim has that in abundance. The young South Korean soared past five different Major winners, including Inbee Park and her seven titles, to claim the LPGA Tour’s HSBC Women’s World Championship in stunning style at the weekend.

If your golf still isn't up to scratch then maybe it's time to book in for a check-over? We have a wide range of lesson options available, from packages to one-off coaching.

Drivers: what's in your bag?

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be looking at what you’ve got in the bag and where there’s room for improvement. There’s only one place to start, though, right? The one we all love letting rip and hate watching fly out of bounds… It’s the driver!

How are you getting on with your driver?

What sort of driver have you got in the bag right now: a friend, an enemy or simply an acquaintance? If you can pummel a drive dead-straight down the fairway, lucky you! If not, maybe it’s worth looking at what your driver isn’t giving you. Distance? Forgiveness? Control?

Callaway Epic Speed drivers

Callaway has a solution for all of those! If it’s distance you’re after, the Epic Max driver generates more speed and, in turn, more distance than any previous Callaway model. The Epic Speed Max merges easy distance with a lovely high launch and, as the name suggests, maximum forgiveness. Finally, the Epic Speed Max LS gives you the lowest spin and most control over the shape of your shot.

Driver fitting session

Are you not quite certain? That’s absolutely fine because we’re here to help! Take advantage of our custom-fitting service by trying out different drivers with various set-ups under our watchful eye until we find your perfect match.

Putters: what’s in your bag?

A putting stroke may look like there’s less going on than when you swing any other club in your bag, but there’s a lot at play when you’re nudging that ball towards the hole. So, how can we get a putter in your bag that works in tandem with your own stroke?

Do you have confidence on the greens?

Does your current putter fill you with confidence or are you finding far too many putts going awry? If, like many of us, it’s the latter, then what’s standing in the way of you holing more putts? It could be stability through your stroke, the angle of your putter face at impact or simply not finding the right line at address.

PING 2021 putters

Whatever it may be, the answer lies in PING’s 2021 range. The collection boasts an array models, from traditional Anser blades to various mallet shapes, with each one offering unique characteristics for individual stroke types. Each putter shares one feature: the dual-durometer insert with a softer Pebax front layer for precise short putts, and a firmer back layer for distance control on longer putts.

Finding your perfect putter

Like I said, there’s a putter in this range to help every golfer’s game, but finding the right one for you can be tough. That's where we come in, with our years of experience and training.

The image here gives the game away slightly, but a new Guinness World Record was achieved by Marcus Armitage recently. Want know what? Well, what this video from the European Tour to find out! Enjoy.
