Tour news

Out of the fire and into the Pan

C.T Pan secured a popular victory at the RBC Heritage over the weekend, propelling himself from outside the world’s top 100 into the top 55 in a matter of four days.

It was only last week that Pan was watching Tiger Woods sweep to victory at The Masters on TV whilst dreaming of competing himself, and now that dream is a reality after a tense one-shot victory at the stunning Harbour Town Golf Links in South Carolina.

Some of that tension was released thanks to a Sunday back-nine blow-up from Masters runner-up and overnight leader Dustin Johnson. The American played holes 11 to 15 in seven-over-par, ending any chance of victory and further cementing himself as the world number one.

Pan sank a nine-foot birdie on the 16th to take the outright lead and held his nerve to claim his maiden PGA Tour title by one shot from Matt Kuchar.

See you at The Masters, Pan!

Knowledge is power

It's one of the most glorious times of the year to be playing golf and no doubt you have noticed that more and more players are taking to the course. So, what better time than now for a quick brush up of your knowledge to make sure you don't fall foul of the updated Rules of Golf?

Here are some of the key rules that were updated for 2019:

Drop the ball from knee height NOT shoulder height
If you accidently move your ball while searching for it you can replace it with no penalty
In bunkers, you can now move loose impediments
Shoe damage on the greens can now be repaired
Search time reduced from five minutes to three
You can now putt with the flag in without penalty

Come and talk to us in the shop before you head out for your next round if you have any questions about the updated rules for 2019.

Another way to gain distance

On the face of it, the mechanics of golf are really quite simple: the further you hit the ball, the easier it will be to get the white thing into the hole in the fewest shots. Club technology, swing changes and even work down the gym help us achieve our target of more distance, but maybe there's another way...

Could changing your ball increase your distance?

Yes, it could, and Callaway has been working hard to come up with a ball to help you achieve exactly this: introducing ERC Soft.

Without getting too technical, it boasts a brand new multi-material cover that creates faster ball speeds for longer distance. In addition, you'll enjoy an incredibly soft feel and great spin around the greens - what a combination!

So, why not come and try Callaway's ERC Soft ball as it may just be the answer to your distance prayers?

Spotlight: ProQuip Pro-Flex Evo quilted jacket

Quilted jackets have been ridiculously popular in recent years, both on the golf course and in everyday life.

One that we really like is this option from ProQuip, that is available in both a sleeveless gilet and a full-sleeve jacket. Thinsulate lining provides lightweight warmth for those chilly spring mornings, whilst its knitted stretch fabric ensures complete freedom of movement during your swing.
