Hello golfers,

Welcome to our newsletter, in this weeks mail we recap on the work that the greenkeepers have been doing this week, as well as looking froward to some new PING releases.

Enjoy the read!

Another tree beside the green has also been removed. This will make autumn bunker shots a little fairer as no longer will the player have to hit ball and fallen debris at the same time. For those who know their rules, natural things cannot be lifted out of hazards hence the problem of the bunker shot. Many find it hard enough without having twigs and leaves all over the ball.

Perry and the team will now be able to rebuild the bunker with a flatter wider base, shallower entrance to get in and out of, and of course more light will help the grass to grow stronger as well as the tree going will stop it sucking up all the water that may be in ground throughout the summer months.  

All in all I think the changes are going to be beneficial for play and course maintenance, so we all win.

See the video below of the Green staff cutting down the tree.

PING’s latest products unveiled

It’s the G700 iron, designed on the award winning Crossover club brought into the range last year. It has a hollow head that allows for a thinner face made of maraging steel which will help with length and a higher flight. As PING have moved more weight away from the face, it allows the head to play with metal wood-like flexing.

Slightly larger than its cousin, the G400, the feel and noise from the face will not leave you disappointed.

The club has taken the place of the G Max iron but plays significantly different.

PING have also snuck a new driver into their range. The G400 Max is slightly larger than its "brother" G400. It has been given the same look as in crown, colour and shaft options. What’s the difference then?

The silver lines in the face give the impression it has more loft and increased the head size to offer a little bit more forgiveness to help keep the ball in play from the tee. If finding the fairway is a huge problem then this new offering from PING could be ideally suited to your game. I will have heads for both demo and fitting very soon so keep an eye out for the signs on these.
