Jonnie's PGA Result
This week I was at Gleneagles at the Scottish PGA Championship, I left some work to do after the first round at +4 and knowing last year +2 got through, something under par was needed. I shot a level par round and just missed the cut this year.
Thank you for all of your support in my/our golf, it’s a case of better luck next time!

Which grip should I use?
When you hold your golf club (for a right handed golfer) does your left hand look like this picture to the right?
There are a number of considerations to make when advising a player on which grip to use, recommendations need to be backed up by player preferences throughout:
Moisture Management - What playing conditions does the golfer typically play in?
Rain - Perhaps a cord grip is best!
Dry or arid conditions - A smooth, tacky grip may be the suitable recommendation.
Various weather conditions – A hybrid grip may provide the best all-weather performance.
Consider different surface textures - The texture pattern on the grip, ranging from grips which provide a heavy, coarse pattern (such as a full cord grip); to a smooth, tacky surface.
Do you have any hand injuries or arthritis? - Larger grips which are softer can help alleviate pain and make golf more comfortable. Ask us in the shop for more information.
Come into the shop, we can measure your hand size and through a few questions, determine the best grip for you!
