Hello Golfers,

I 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. Masters week has to be one of my favourite weeks to watch golf. I just need to make sure I get the remote control off the kids.

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.

Rob.

Anyone for PING's?

The first hole in one of 2021

Many congratulations to Ray Houlgate who last week made a hole in one on the 4th hole. Well done Ray and very convenient the clubhouse and bar was closed so he avoided a big bar bill as well.

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.
