Golf on Tour

The big guns return

It’s been a strange year for the European Tour so far. Cancelled events, rescheduled tournaments and even new tournaments created. The pandemic hit the Tour hard and with relatively modest prize money on offer in the past few months, many of Europe’s biggest names have been Stateside.

This week will be different, though. The likes of Tommy Fleetwood, Matthew Fitzpatrick and Ian Poulter will return for the Scottish Open following the conclusion of the big-money FedEx Cup and the U.S. Open. It should be an exciting week of top-quality golf in East Lothian. We can’t wait!

If watching these big names on TV over the next few days has you purring at the prospect of playing better golf, send us a message and we'll get back to you in the coming days.

The new way forward?

If you ever needed persuading that there's more than one way to play the game of golf, all you need to do is watch golf on TV for five minutes. From quirky swings to innovative putting methods, you'll see it all from the world's best. So, when it comes to your putting, what's the best way to hole more putts?

TaylorMade's new Spider FCG Putter

Well, the truth is you'll need a putter that is suited to your stroke and your preferences when it comes to alignment and feel.

It goes without saying that we can certainly help you in this department, with a huge range of putters available to try in the pro shop.

A new option that we're big fans of is TaylorMade’s Spider FCG. It feels like a blade but with the look and stability of a mallet. The best of both worlds!

If you’re interested in trying the Spider FGC or any other putter for that matter, send us a message below and we'll be in touch.

Standing water

There are some rules that all golfers are aware of and are applicable throughout the year. Some rules, however, are more suited to specific times of year. So, with winter on the horizon, let’s brush-up on what to do when your ball finds standing water on the course.

The first thing to note is that standing water is considered an “Abnormal course condition”, which means you can get relief if the water interferes with either your swing or your stance. This won’t cost you a stroke.

Of course, this relief cannot move you closer to the hole or give you a significantly improved angle to the pin. However, be sure to give yourself enough room so that you are clear of the standing water in both your stance and swing.

Video of the Week

Many golfers up and down the country have hit some rather 'interesting' shots since coming back to the course after lockdown. It's not just club golfers though! Enjoy this week's video as we take a look at some of the worst shots hit on the European Tour during the recent UK Swing.

We hope you enjoyed the newsletter and have a great weekend.
