Much has been made of the benefits of golf on our physical and mental health in recent years, with a study by Edinburgh University even claiming playing regularly can increase your life expectancy. Part of their research found that golfers typically burn around 500 calories during 18 holes, which isn’t surprising given the distance we travel.

Ask yourself this question: are your practice sessions as useful as they could be? We’ve all been guilty of stepping onto the range and aimlessly smashing balls towards the back fence until our basket is empty. Very occasionally this will serve a purpose, like when you’re warming up, but most of the time we require more structure to reap the best benefits.

If you're looking for more forgiveness to improve your accuracy off the tee, PING's new G400 Max driver is one of the most forgiving drivers we’ve ever seen. It joins the popular G400 family of drivers that includes the standard model, the Straight Flight (SFT) option which counters a fade, and the Low Spin (LST) driver that produces a lower spin flight.

With four drivers in their range for 2018, plus the G Le, which is specifically designed for ladies, there's bound to be an option to help improve your game.
