Rob Humphrey

Hello Golfers,

I hope you’re all well and have had a good week so far. It felt very weird and also extremely quiet in the Humphrey house this week as the boys went back to school. Thankfully they’ve really enjoyed being back although Ava seems to be missing her big brothers.

Hopefully you all received the latest email from the Club highlighting how golf will re start at Tyrrells - the 29th March can’t come soon enough.

As always, if there's anything that I can assist with, reply to this email and I'll be happy to help.

Enjoy the read.

Rob.

One of the best

It’s one of my favourite weeks on the PGA Tour this week as it’s The Players Championship from The Stadium course at TPC Sawgrass. It’s a fantastic event, although, it’s not the 5th Major! I can’t believe it was 9 years ago that I was lucky enough to watch the tournament and play the course the following week, I still remember it like it was yesterday. The first time you play the Stadium Course during our tournament each Pro is given $100 if they break 80. I remember finishing double bogey (on the par 3 17th hole which has an island green I hit my wedge into the water) and then followed that up with a double bogey on the last to shoot 82. I did manage to redeem myself as we got to play the course a few days later, I shot 73 with the highlight of making an eagle three on the 16th. It was a fantastic experience and incredible to play a PGA Tour golf course in proper tournament conditions, it's about time for another trip isn't it Terry Moore?

The men's set is made up of a 4 and 5 hybrid and 6 iron to SW.

The golfer's new clothes

You know what this time of year means… New styles! And if there was ever a golf season that we want to make the most of it’s this one. What better way to kickstart a long-anticipated summer on the course than with a fresh look?

Our brand-new Glenmuir clothing range

You can walk the course with confidence thanks to Glenmuir’s super-stylish new threads. A multitude of mid-layers and polo shirts in a variety of styles are available through us, most of which come with our beautiful club crest embroidered on.

You can enjoy the clean and classic look of Glenmuir’s traditional golf clothing or, if you prefer a slightly bolder look, our range also features modern patterns. The choice is yours and either way you’re guaranteed a smart appearance on or off the golf course.

Then & now!

Whenever a brand new driver comes out, it’s hard to imagine things getting any better. There have been some incredible innovations in recent years and who’s to say where we’ll be in 15 years? Why don’t we take a deeper dive into how old drivers compare to the latest models?

PING drivers from 2006 vs. 2021

If we take PING drivers as an example, we can look at the 2006 G5 driver – a beloved figure on courses around the world in its heyday - compared to the various models in the brand-new PING G425 driver range. The G5 did give you a higher, more forgiving launch than most clubs at the time, and even came in an offset version to appeal to a wider range of golfers.

PING G425 drivers

Taking that to another level, the G425 comes in a Max (maximum MOI), LST (low-spin technology) & SFT (straight flight technology) models, meaning all players are catered for. The Max version is PING’s most forgiving driver ever; leaps & bounds beyond our old-favourite G5, whilst the LST is compact and adjustable for workable ball flights and the SFT is weighted to help fight the slice.

Brand new | FJ UltraFIT SL shoes

It's not long until the clocks spring forward, the temperatures rise a notch or two, and the serious club competitions get underway.

When this time comes, why not take to the course in a brand-new pair of shoes?

One of our favourite models this year has to be the UltraFIT SL shoe from FootJoy. Not only is it both waterproof and spikeless, but the Boa Lacing System will give you the perfect snug fit each time you slip them on!

Video of the Week

When it comes to the spin we generate around the greens, is it really as simple as saying fresh grooves/wedges spin more than old/worn ones? And, if so, where does that fine-line sit between our wedges giving us the spin we need and when we need to think about replacing them? Well, this week's video answers both of these questions and quite a lot more! Enjoy.

I hope you enjoyed this week's newsletter. As always, if you have anything that you'd like to contribute please speak to one of the pro shop team. I'll see you at the club over the coming days.
