Hello Golfers,

Important news

Our New Era has Begun

Last week you received an email from us asking for your help. It wasn’t anything too onerous or time-consuming; simply sparing 20 seconds of your time to complete your golfing profile.

The reason we’re asking you to do this is so that we can start sending you personalised content that is more relevant to your golfing needs. For example, if you’re a lady golfer with a handicap of 28 then the weekly emails you receive will include ladies product that will be suited to your playing ability. Likewise, if you’re a gentleman off 12, we will begin sending you content that will help you to get your handicap down to the holy grail of single-figure digits.

Thank you to everyone who has already completed their profile and for those of you who haven’t been able to as of yet, please try and do so in the near future.

Pro's news

Past it? Don’t think so…

A lot has been made of the exciting crop of young golfers at the top of the world rankings right now – and rightly so – but it’s been the old guard who has been grabbing all the headlines in recent weeks.

Following up Mickelson’s triumph at the WGC a couple of weeks ago was England’s Paul Casey, who secured a one-shot victory at last week’s Valspar Championship from none other than a certain Tiger Woods. Just seeing Tiger back in the hunt come the back nine on a Sunday made for fascinating viewing in itself, but it was great to see Casey return to the winner’s circle after his extended hiatus.

With Mickelson, Casey and Tiger all the other side of 40 it certainly shows that there is still a bit of life left in the old dogs yet. With the Masters just three weeks away, is your money on youth or experience?

Leather or synthetic?

From rain and thermal options to tour-favoured leather and more budget-friendly synthetic, there are lots of gloves for you to consider, which is why we’re here to lend a helping hand.

Tour favourite
Why do tour players choose leather? Well, leather gloves offer the best feel with the traction you need to generate power. It’s also moisture resistant so will stay soft for longer.

One glove that fits the bill perfectly is the Srixon Cabretta Leather glove that is worn on tour by Hideki Matsuyama and Graeme McDowell. It’s made from premium leather for responsive feel with great grip, while a lycra insert across the knuckles aids comfort and flexibility.

Great value
Synthetic materials are stretchy and lightweight, so suit a golf glove perfectly. They’re often used alongside leather palm sections to enhance flexibility, while they should also be more durable than leather models at the cost of a little less feel.

Why not come and try the Srixon All Weather glove? It utilises lycra inserts to improve flexibility, plus its cabretta leather palm and thumb patches create grip and soft feel where you need it most. A fantastic option for golf in all conditions.

New season, new bag

We all look to freshen up our kit when the new season rolls around, but what about the one piece of equipment that houses everything? If you’ve been ignoring broken zips, worn dividers or tatty material, one of these bags could be the upgrade you need...

Wilson Staff’s range of bags offers something for everyone. If you prefer fuss-free carrying, this stylish neXus III stand bag offers seven different pockets, a practical six-way top and a unique base system that improves its stability. If you like to take the strain off with a trolley, this lightweight neXus III cart bag has a 14-way top to keep your clubs organised. It also boasts nine pockets for easy access, which include a rangefinder pocket, cooler pocket and a valuables pocket.

New: Skechers men's range

Those of you who have been in the shop over recent weeks will have noticed a lot of new products sitting on the shelves, including Skechers' 2018 shoe range.

Skechers trainers are synonymous with comfort and their GO GOLF range is no different. The Pro V.3, Elite V.3 and Focus 2 are all worn on tour and are a must try for anyone considering new golf shoes this year.
