Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another edition of our newsletter.

This week the PGA Show in Orlando has been taking place which means there will be lots of new and exciting products being launched and landing our way soon.

I hope you have a great week both on and off the course.

Enjoy the read.

Tour news

Four decades of victories

Lee Westwood recorded his own little piece of history when he closed out the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship on Sunday.

Winning by two from Frenchman Victor Perez and English duo Matthew Fitzpatrick, and Tommy Fleetwood, it meant the popular former world number one has now claimed Tour titles across four decades – his first was all the way back at the 1996 Scandinavian Masters.

It was also Westwood’s 25th European Tour victory to leave him 8th on the all-time list and thrust him back into Ryder Cup contention for Whistling Straits later this year.

Don’t put your clubs away…

After playing a lot of golf over the summer months and maintaining a certain standard, it is so easy to pack the clubs away when the temperature drops.

Continuing to play and practice during the winter months allows you to maintain your momentum through the Winter, and play a different type of golf. It allows you to challenge yourself and play the course in a totally different way which can only benefit your game in the long run.

Use the winter months well, get a plan in place for the new season ahead and keep that momentum going by taking advantage of the coaching packages available to you. Allow me to assist your winter practice and prepare you for a successful year on the course.

Time to get excited

Whilst it's easy to think that the golf industry goes into hibernation during the winter months, it's actually one of the most exciting times of the year for us!

This week sees the PGA Show take place in Orlando, which is a huge four day conference where golf brands large and small showcase their new product for the year ahead.

There is some fantastic stuff coming and we've already started to take delivery of orders in the pro shop, so why not pop down and have a browse in the coming weeks?

Layer up

Last week we talked about one of our favourite topics: rain! Whilst waterproof protection is key for staying dry when caught in a downpour, combining layers of clothing underneath is vital if you want to enjoy the warmth without being so restricted that you can’t complete your backswing.

What do we mean by layering?

Lots of golfers are still in the habit of putting on as many layers as they possibly can in the winter to combat the cold – a vest, turtleneck, polo, sweater and jacket – but today’s golf clothing could easily cut that down by half.

What do we suggest?

From polos that keep you at a cool temperature in the summer to thermal mid-layers like the one pictured above by FootJoy, having the right piece of clothing can do the job of several poor layers. Pop by the shop to have a look at our clothing collections.
