The Will to Win

It was a huge moment for Danny Willett over the weekend, as the 2016 Masters Champion returned to the winners' circle after a two-year hiatus. The Englishman – who had fallen outside the top 450 in the World Rankings earlier this year – carded a final round of 68 to win the season-ending DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. It marks a remarkable return to form for Willett, and will no doubt give him a huge confidence boost going into 2019.

Fellow Englishman Tommy Fleetwood needed to secure victory to have any chance of overhauling his close friend Francesco Molinari at the top of the Race to Dubai standings. As a result, the Italian was confirmed as Europe’s number one golfer, capping off a truly memorable season with two tournament wins (including The Open Championship) and a record-breaking Ryder Cup performance in Paris.

The Results are in...

A couple of weeks ago we asked you to think about which part of your game had let you down the most in 2018. Well, the results are in and it looks like finding the fairway off the tee is the biggest cause of concern, with 30% of you choosing driving as your answer. Short game areas also feature heavily; with wedges and putting combined racking up over a third of the votes.

It's probably a good time to remind you that we can tailor your lessons to focus on the area of your game that you want to work on the most – everything from putting through to driving. So, if you want to make 2019 your best year yet, get in touch via the link below to book your lesson.

Stars in your eyes

We all want to emulate our golfing heroes. From the shots they manage to hit on the course to the latest apparel they wear with such great style, we'd give anything to be in their shoes for a day. Whilst the former might take a little longer to accomplish, you can certainly look like them in an instant.

The PING Zero Gravity Tour jacket is one of the most stylish products on the market today. It has been dubbed as one of the lightest waterproof jackets ever made, with fully taped seams and over 20,000mm waterproof protection thanks to PING's Sensor Dry technology. What's not to love?

New balls, please

Sometimes we can overlook the small details. Take your golf ball for example; you might be getting by on picking any old ball from your bag, but have you ever wondered just how much of a difference a brand new golf ball will make to your overall performance?

Believe it or not...

Tour professionals change their ball every three to four holes - some even after every hole - so why would you want to use a golf ball that you found on the course sometime last year, that has been from tree to tree with the scuff marks and discolouration to prove it?

Here's the answer...

A ball's dimples are designed to make it more aerodynamic and fly further through the air, so when they're worn it will affect each shot. We particularly like Callaway's Supersoft ball, which features a special dimple pattern that reduces drag and increases stability in the air.

For all you avid golfers out there, a pair of MacWet winter gloves is essential for when you take to the course at this time of year and here's why…
