Competition news

Thursday, 12 December

Congratulations to Jason Higgleton who won the Club Stableford with 35 points, although I have to question the state of mind of the six members that went out and played. The conditions must’ve been awful. I guess it was that or Christmas shopping.

Whatever the weather

How old is your waterproof jacket? A recent survey indicated that 60% of golfers are wearing one that is over two years old and if you’re one of them – or if you’re struggling to remember when you bought yours – it might be time to consider upgrading this winter.

Lots of today’s jackets come with a two or three-year waterproof warranty, which means that if you’re part of the above stat your jacket’s best days might be behind you.

One that we really like is ProQuip’s Pro-Flex EVO waterproof jacket, which is not only totally waterproof and lightweight but is available in blue, grey and back colourways.

It's so important...

How many greens do you hit in regulation during a round? It’s probably fair to say it’s fewer than you would like, which means your wedge game needs to be sharp to save you shots. Yes, technique plays a huge part but so do the wedges that you use.

What state are yours in?

If your wedges are several years old, there's a good chance the grooves would have worn away to a point where the spin they produce is massively reduced.

Brands have worked tirelessly to ensure their grooves last longer than ever, but weekly golf will inevitably result in them wearing away slowly over time.

Take these for a spin

If yours have reached a point of no return, why not try out Vokey's SM7 wedge to see if you enjoy a better feel, more control and increased spin?

Come and speak to a member of the team in-store if you're interested, or watch our review to find out more.
