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?

PING G425 drivers

PING has a solution for all of those! If it’s distance you’re after, the G425 LST driver drastically reduces spin to help fast-swinging players launch it low and far. The G425 Max merges easy distance with a lovely high launch and, as the name suggests, maximum forgiveness. Finally, the G425 SFT is specifically weighted with a draw bias to help fight the ever-dangerous slice and keep your ball flying straight.

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.

Scotty Cameron Phantom X putters

Whatever it may be, the answer lies in Scotty Cameron’s Phantom X range. The collection boasts an array of models, including four new mallet shapes for 2021, with each one offering unique characteristics for individual stroke types. There really is something to suit everyone.

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.

Video of the Week

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.

Thank you for reading and have a great weekend.
