New Practice Nets

The season is well under way and let's hope the good weather we have had keeps up throughout the summer as the course is improving each week.

The practice nets are looking fantastic and are ready for use so remember to warm up before your round and make full use of these facilities, well done to Mark and his team with help from Huxley.

Sergio Masters Augusta

Unless you've been under a rock somewhere you'll be well aware that a certain Spaniard won his first major title at Augusta a couple of weeks ago. However it wasn't just his triumph that impressed us but the way he went about it. Yes, Sergio has been in the final group on a major Sunday before, but there was something different about him this time.

Garcia was the only player in the field to card four rounds under par - an impressive feat in itself - but he also hit 75% of greens in regulation as well as 80% of fairways throughout the week. To play golf like this you need to be at the top of your game and have complete trust in your equipment. Here's what was in Sergio's winning bag:

• TaylorMade M2 driver (9.5 degrees)
• TaylorMade M1 fairways (15 & 19 degrees)
• TaylorMade P750 irons (3-PW)
• TaylorMade Milled Grind wedges (54 & 58 degrees)
• TaylorMade Spider Tour putter
• TaylorMade TP5 golf ball

Here's a fun fact for you: Sergio plays a number #49 golf ball - but do you know why? It's because that was year of his mother's birth. You learn something new every day!  


 

The Misconceptions

If you buy your clubs straight from the shelf the chances are you'll end up adjusting to them - but unnaturally so.  

To the right are some of the common misconceptions regarding custom fitting which we hear from golfers on a regular basis, all of which are nonsense.

Custom fitting is a process which golfers of all abilities should go through. It's only after a thorough fitting that you can guarantee that the clubs you walk away with will work with your individual swing, leading to a better standard of ball striking and a more consistent level of golf.

We're here to help you enjoy better golf and we strongly believe that an equipment custom fitting will give you the best possible chance of unlocking your golfing potential and seeing that handicap tumble.
