Pro's news

The PGA Championship

This years’ PGA Championship was very much, the Brooks Koepka show. Having made a laughing stock of the ‘warning’ sign at Bethpage Black shooting 63 in the opening round. The big hitting American, who looks like he should be playing American football and not golf, led wire to wire to win the Championship and take the world number one spot from runner up Dustin Johnson.

The course played tough but fair. Players were rewarded for hitting the fairways and punished if they missed it. Masters champion Tiger woods found this out the hard way.

Despite a ‘little wobble’ at the start of the back-nine on Sunday, Koepka powered through to win his fourth major in his last eight.

Tip of the month

Practice, Practice, Practice

We hear this is the way to get better, but do we know what we are practising.

Making practice a little closer to the real thing is more productive than just hitting shots for the sake of it.
Playing games like; par 18 for chipping or the ‘tornado’ putting drill are a great way of making practise more purposeful.

Come and speak to Ady or Andy for more information.

Most overlooked club in the bag?

Thankfully, the penny has dropped when it comes to the importance of getting custom fitted for a new driver or set of irons. Unfortunately, we still see the vast majority of golfers overlook this process when it comes to their fairway woods, but why?

How often do you use yours?

“I wouldn’t use it often enough”
“It's too expensive”
“It's not necessary”

Yeah, I guess if you’re not concerned with shooting lower scores and maximising your potential then a custom fitted fairway wood isn’t that important.

However, if improving your game is something you want to achieve, then having a full set of custom fitted clubs is vital, especially when it comes to gapping between your driver and irons.

PING G410 fairway woods

One option that we'll certainly get you to try is this beauty from PING. A combination of its tungsten weight, forged face and low centre of gravity produce a fairway wood that is easy to launch and that flies miles, too.

So, let’s get you booked in for a custom fitting with a member of the team and harness your potential with the most overlooked club in the bag.

Dig out your evening jacket

The evenings are getting longer, the weather is getting better, and we're seeing more of you playing a few holes after work. When you do, having a warm layering piece in the bag is of paramount importance, especially when the sun starts to fall.

Getting maximum use out of a piece of clothing is important, so a stylish mid-layer like these are perfect as you transition from the course to everyday life.

The adidas Climawarm Gridded 1/4 zip boasts a stretchy fabric so you never feel restricted during your swing or after a big meal, whilst Climawarm technology provides brilliant insulation from the cold.

Your other option for those evening rounds is a stand-out sweater vest like this option from adidas. The Classic Club 1/4 zip vest is a timeless piece that has a regular fit that is wider at the body, plus a stand-up collar to protect your neck from the chill.

We have plenty of other layering options in-store so make sure you pop in and try a few pieces on.
