Hello Golfers,

Welcome to the latest edition of our weekly newsletter. In this week's email, we explore which golf ball is best suited to your budget, we take our first glance at a new product to hit the market, and we reveal the answer to last week's poll.

Enjoy the read.

Pro's news

First one way, now the other

The U.S. Open had everything from the sublime to the ridiculous, and it’s safe to say that the course set-up played a huge part in this. With much of the debate centred around whether the USGA made conditions too tricky or not, we posed this very question to you over the past week on our website poll and here are the results:

75% of you believe the USGA got it wrong at Shinnecock Hills

It really does make for interesting reading. Just a couple of months ago we asked you whether you’d prefer to see 20-under-par win a tournament or two-over-par, and the results were the complete reverse. On that occasion, 82% voted in favour of seeing the world’s best struggle to make a score, which is exactly what happened at the U.S. Open.

Coaching news

Hole more putts

Have you been struggling with your putting? Are you finding it's holding you back from lowering your scores and handicap? Well, we have the answer to change this.

We are delighted to announce we will now be offering coaching sessions from Monday, 2nd July using our all new 'Hole More Putts' software. Using this software we will be able to determine what the issues are with your current stroke and what we need to work on. The data we will recieve from the software is Face Angle, Impact Point, Path, Speed at Impact and Angle of Attack which are all key to a consistant stroke.

With my excellent knowledge and understanding I can identify which areas need to be improved and offer you a selection of drills to change your current technique. If you are interested in learning more about your putting then get in touch.

Call us on 0117 977 0660 opt 2 or click here to book your 'Hole More Putts' lesson today.

Which bracket do you fall in?

There’s one thing that you'll always need in abundance when playing golf and that’s balls - and plenty of them. Each golf ball we sell offers different levels of feel and performance at varying price points, meaning we have something to offer all playing preferences and budgets.

Bang for your buck
Balls at a cheaper price point usually have one key performance benefit rather than offering a little of everything. This Callaway Warbird follows the trend by offering maximum distance with your longer clubs thanks to its aerodynamic dimples and high-energy core, giving you lots of power for little expenditure.

The all-rounder
If you’re looking for more balanced performance through the bag but without the premium price tag, this Callaway Supersoft ball is designed to be long, straight and soft. It doesn’t spin as much as the Chrome Soft, but its low compression core helps create long, high flights that land softly.

Tour performance
The saying 'you get what you pay for' certainly applies when it comes to golf balls. Callaway's Chrome Soft is their premium option, and it's easy to see why, with a soft urethane cover for short-game spin and a graphene-infused core that boosts ball speed and provides more iron control.

The perfect fit

It’s hard to believe that over half of golfers are wearing the wrong size shoes. If we were to ask you, would you be confident you were wearing the correct size? Have you ever been professionally measured for your golf shoes, including for width?

Have you been measured?
You might wonder why all this is important. Buying properly fitted shoes has many benefits, such as holding their shape to look newer for longer, less upper creasing and splitting, and it allows you to use the ground efficiently to create power - and we all know that every yard helps.

The Under Armour Spieth 2 comes in a range of sizes from 6 to 12, so it’s worth coming in to get measured before you buy.
