Pro's news

Putt those extra shots away

Here in the shop, we often get asked for advice for quick fixes on how to cut shots from your round of golf, and I think you'd be surprised just how often the conversation turns to putting.

If you think about it; which club in your bag do you use the most during your round?

Driver? Maybe 10-12 times per round.

Irons? Maybe 5 times per iron per round.

Putter? Just about every single hole, often twice or even three times.

There are so many different types of putters; mallet or blade head, thick or thin grip, and different lengths available. Making sure that you're happy and suited to your putter is an absolute no-brainer.

Get in touch with us if you'd like to start cutting shots from your score by starting on the greens. Pop in the pro shop, or contact us here.

Tour news

Im tames the bear

Sung-jae Im mastered the Bear Trap on Sunday to claim his maiden PGA Tour title with a one-shot victory at the Honda Classic.

Both Tommy Fleetwood and Mackenzie Hughes were attempting to chase the South Korean down but Im played what is widely regarded as the hardest three holes on the PGA Tour (15 through 17 on the Champion Course – Palm Beach Gardens) in 2-under to open up a one-shot cushion he wouldn’t relinquish coming up the 18th.

The art of putting

‘Drive for show, putt for dough’. No doubt you have heard this one a few times before but considering putting equates to between 30 to 50% of our shots on the course, it also has a large element of truth in it.

Odyssey Stroke Lab Triple Track putters

There's some clever technology out there to help you putt better. For example, Odyssey has taken the Triple Track Alignment from the ERC Soft golf ball and combined it with their Stroke Lab shaft to create this stunning range of putters.

If you're someone who struggles to line up correctly on the greens, come and try Odyssey's Triple Track putters at Orsett Golf Club. Better putting might just be around the corner.

The whole puzzle

If you're considering buying new irons this year, have a think about how they are going to blend into the rest of your set. The idea is to have equal yardage gaps between each club in your bag so, if you are going to treat yourself, it might be worth replacing a long iron with a hybrid that is easier to hit.

Take danger out of play

The illustration here is a good example of where a hybrid comes in handy. When our driver brings danger into play and a long-iron leaves us too far to the green, a hybrid is the perfect option.

One hybrid that we particularly like is the Lynx Black Cat. It has a beautiful matte crown finish, which you're going to love looking down on address. Call us on 01375 891797 if you fancy trying it out.

Video of the Week

Lots of drivers have been launched already this year but there's one model that has really taken us by surprise! If you're in the market for a new toy in 2020, we couldn't recommend Mizuno's ST200G highly enough and here's why…
