An Ace Week for Master Eddie

The British Masters took place at Walton Heath in Surrey last week and was hosted by the local favourite, Justin Rose. The tournament had a stark weather contrast from start to finish with conditions declining and making it a real grind for the players. The caddies were certainly tested during the final round trying to keep their players warm and dry. It was a day of umbrellas, waterproofs and wearing the correct layering, which at this time of year can help or hinder your round.

Wednesday - Pro-Am

Sunday - Final Round

The tournament winner was Eddie Pepperell who dealt with the conditions the best and led from start to finish to claim a two-shot victory. Eddie’s highlight of the week was his impressive hole-in-one on Thursday at the ninth hole, earning £20,000 for charity and a celebratory bottle of wine from the tournament host. Pepperell now moves up to 33rd in the world rankings and with it an invite to next year’s biggest tournaments including his first trip to The Masters at Augusta.

It's time for a change

When you step onto the tee with a driver in hand, there are two thoughts in most golfers' minds: "Hit it far, and hit it straight". Both of these were easier said than done, until Titleist released its new TS2 and TS3 drivers earlier this year...

How much could you gain?

Both of these drivers are designed to bring more speed to your game, which results in greater distance. It's as simple as that.

The Titleist TS2 is all about forgiveness. In fact, it has the highest MOI that Titleist has ever produced, which means it's more resistant to twisting at impact, for longer and straighter shots. However, if you have a consistent miss with your drives, the TS3 will be perfect for you as we can set it up to counter your destructive shot.

With two models to choose from, it's more important than ever to come and see us for a custom fitting. What numbers will you be putting up on the Titleist board?

Shake off a shower

As winter approaches, we can expect a lot of things with one certainty being rain, and a lot of it. We all know what this can lead to - feeling soaked out on the course, a barely readable scorecard and, in some cases, just a generally miserable round of golf. Enter, golf-specific waterproofs….

Those disgruntled feelings of being drenched during your 18 holes will be a thing of the past, once you've got your hands on FootJoy's HydroLite jacket. This layer will keep you dry without affecting your swing thanks to its Four-Way Stretch Shell with DWR finish. It also has a waterproof front zipper for maximum water protection where you need it the most.

Spotlight: New PING Sigma 2 putters

There's a saying in golf that PING putters get better with age, yet its new range is pretty special.

Sigma 2 putters have a very soft feel thanks to its new face technology, but the main talking point is the adjustable-length shaft.

PING says 8 out of 10 players are playing the wrong-length putters and losing strokes as a result. Now, we can customize your putter so that you see a significant improvement on the greens by simply turning a tool at the top of the grip. Interested?

Video of the Week

There's a difference between the longest iron in your bag and the longest playable iron in your bag, which is an area that TaylorMade's GAPR clubs fit perfectly.

I hope you enjoyed our newsletter. If you need anymore help or advice please pop into the shop and we'll be delighted to help you. Michael and the Golf Team.
