Hello Golfers,

Welcome to the latest edition of our weekly newsletter. In this week's email we review a thrilling week at Augusta National, we ease your concerns over your data protection, and we have lots of coaching opportunities for you. Enjoy the read!

Masters Sunday in the Clubhouse

Big thanks to everyone who attended the Masters Night on Sunday evening. We had about 30 people turn up for the roll-up and over 50 people up in the bar afterwards to watch the golf. What a fantastic performance from Patrick Reed. Big thanks to the bar and kitchen staff who stayed late to serve up some delicious American burgers and hotdogs! Jonnie’s Masters Quiz was won by Stevie Stuart, Simon Francey & Stephen Paterson, and was of course the highlight of the night!

Fitting news

TaylorMade Fitting Day – Saturday 28th April 11am-3pm

Come along and try the latest TaylorMade Twist face technology that is helping golfers of all abilities hit straighter, longer shots from off centre hits (something that afflicts us all I’m afraid). The last fitting day we had recently was so well attended and the improvements were so apparent that we just had to get another one in as soon as possible.

No penalty

Golf can be a frustrating game at the best of times, but incurring a penalty stroke when you’ve accidentally done something wrong seems very unfair, especially when that one stroke could be the difference between getting a handicap cut or not.

Current Rules
Under the current Rules of Golf, if you accidentally nudge your ball while addressing it you incur a one-stroke penalty and must replace it (18-2). The only exception relates to if it is accidentally moved in the process of marking it. In this case, it must be replaced and there is no penalty (20-1).

New Rules from 2019
The new proposed rule (13.1c) states there will no longer be a penalty for accidentally causing your ball to move on the green and you must replace it on its original spot.

Let us make it simple for you

We pride ourselves on being the only place you need to go for your golfing needs, which is especially true for golf balls. But we also realise that because we offer a wide range, it can be hard to know which model is right for your game.

Balanced performance

This Wilson Staff DX3 Urethane ball is super soft off the face thanks to its 35 compression. It also offers impressive spin control and feedback from its urethane cover. Despite this, it doesn’t compromise on delivering distance or iron control thanks to a premium three-piece design at a not so premium price point.

High spin, great value

We think the new Wilson Staff DX3 Soft Spin is a fantastic option, with its lower compression core able to generate more distance for those of you with moderate swing speeds. The three-piece DX3 Soft Spin produces increased spin on approach shots, whilst reducing long game spin for straighter distance off the tee.
