The Golf Team

Hello Golfers,

We hope you're well.

Following on from the women's first Major of the year last weekend, this week it's the men's turn as they tee it up at Augusta National for the second Masters Tournament in a matter of months. We also have boxes of new products landing in-store on a weekly basis, so please do get in touch if there's something you're after. We'll be happy to help!

Enjoy this week's read.

Pro Shop reopens next week

A safe shopping environment for all

Ahead of non-essential retail reopening from the 12th April, we've been working hard behind the scenes to keep everyone safe.

Not only do we want you to enjoy playing golf with your friends, but we also want you to feel like you can pop by the shop for a browse or a chat before your round.

So, you'll be glad to hear that we have followed best-practice advice with several Covid-19 protocols in place - both for our staff and our members. We hope to see your smiling faces in-store very soon!

Golf on Tour

Augusta's in full bloom

Back in November, we watched a totally unique Masters unfold. Dustin Johnson broke the tournament record, DeChambeau called Augusta a ‘par-67’ opening with 70-74 and Rory went from 3-over on Thursday to 11-under on Sunday. Madness! So… More of the same?

Absolutely not! Augusta National will have its bite back, for one thing. The return to the usual April date feels like we’re welcoming back an old friend in the form of a brutal golf course. It’s trickier than ever to call a winner, but why not have a go anyway?

We're sure you’re just as excited as us to watch the Masters this weekend and, if you do, it'll no doubt raise a question or two about your own game. Whatever it is, we can help! Just send us a message below.

Mind the gap

If we asked you what club you hit 150 yards, you’d likely have an easy answer. However, when it comes to 100 yards and in, it all gets a little messy and unclear. The funny thing is, this is the part of the game where our scores are made and lost, so maybe we all need to focus a bit more time on getting it right?

Do you have any yardage gaps in your set?

To start with, make sure your wedges are evenly gapped.

What is gapping?
It’s the fun process where we make sure each club in your bag goes a specific distance and that there are even gaps between one club and the next. This is particularly helpful when it comes to your wedge system!

So, rather than having to try and manipulate your swing-length to hit the ball a certain yardage, let’s look at things a different way.

Instead, make a note of the distances you most commonly face on the golf course but don't have a club that matches up. Then, we can help find you a club that goes that distance. If this is something you'd be interested in, send us a message.

Wicked & wonderful wedges

Whilst you might not be chipping out of the Augusta-style rough, having wedges that can really grab hold of your ball at impact can make the world of difference. You'll enjoy more spin and control no matter the shot at hand, giving you the confidence to attack pins at will – even at Augusta!

Titleist Vokey SM8 Wedges

Modern engineering in wedges has focussed on creating grooves that hold contact with the ball for longer. This gives you more spin and, crucially, more control over that spin thanks to the increased feel. You won’t find a better example of this than the Titleist Vokey SM8 wedges. You know that feeling when the ball jumps off the face as if it’s too excited to fly through the air?

Spin Milled Grooves

Vokey's Spin Milled grooves, with integrated micro-grooves, maximise grip on the ball to stop this happening, handing you more control of both flight and spin. By pushing the centre of gravity forward, Master Craftsman Bob Vokey also helps you with feel and stability through impact. This centre of gravity progresses through different lofted wedges so that you can be more precise with every shot.
