Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another edition of our newsletter.

This week we have a question for you - what is the most beautiful shot in golf? We think we have found the answer so read on as we reveal all further down this newsletter. We also look at how one European Tour player needs to go back to school to learn his rules after a costly disqualification at the Czech Masters, whilst our Video of the Week sees Europe take on USA once again.

Enjoy the read!

Tour news

All eyes on $15 million

Things are heating up on the PGA Tour as the season-finale TOUR Championship gets underway this week.

Justin Thomas climbed to the top of the FedExCup standings (the PGA Tour's Order of Merit) over the weekend thanks to a three-shot victory at the BMW Championship. Now it’s on to East Lake where the top 30 players in the FedExCup rankings go toe-to-toe in a bid to land the meagre $15 million prize in a new format that sees players handed starting strokes based on their current rankings.

Current leader Justin Thomas will tee off on 10-under-par whilst Jason Kokrak, who sits at 30th in the rankings, starts the tournament level-par.

Rules news

Flagstick fiasco

South Korean Soomin Lee got himself booted out of the D+D Real Czech Masters on Saturday afternoon after finding himself on the wrong side of the Rules of Golf.

After opting to have his caddie attend the flagstick on the 11th green, Lee went on to drain his putt only for his caddie to forget to remove the flagstick. As it was not removed and the ball holed, Rule 11.2c would apply, which means the putt didn't count and Lee should have replayed the shot under a penalty of two strokes.

However, both Lee and his caddie were unaware of this rule and once Lee had teed off on the next hole, he was disqualified under Rule 3.3c (failure to hole out). Ouch!

Shop news

If you have problems getting round a full 18 holes or simply want to make the game a little less tiring for yourself, using an electric trolley is a must.

There are lots of different models available but two of our favourites are the entry-level S1 and M1 trolleys from Motocaddy.

If you are interested in upgrading to the S1 or M1 electric trolleys, we are running a fantastic promotion in-store whilst stocks last:

This really is a great deal, so if you want to take a look at the bags or want to have a closer look at the two trolleys in question, be sure to pop your head in-store and we'll happily run you through your options.

Time for a little refresh?

If you're still wearing polos from years gone by that have threads hanging off and buttons missing then it's probably time you upgraded your wardrobe - wouldn't you agree?

We have a fantastic range of clothing available in-store, some of which has been discounted for your pleasure - and in peak season, too!

So, be sure to pop your head in next time you're down the club and bring that old shirt with you.

For every occasion

On the course, strutting down the high-street or enjoying a well-deserved holiday; no matter what we’re doing we want to know that the sunglasses we’re wearing look great. If we can find a pair that looks the part in all of the above scenarios then even better...

Oakley Mercenary sunglasses

Performance, versatility and style are a must and if you hadn’t guessed already, Oakley bring those three elements to the table with their Mercenary Prizm shades.

For the course, Prizm lens technology comes to the fore to enhance colour contrasts so we can spy any course undulations with ease - especially useful on the greens.

However, the versatility of these shades is the main USP. Its modern styling allows for a look that fits any surroundings with ease, whilst the impressive UV protection means the Mercenary is ready to tackle any beach holiday!

We've got a wide range of Oakley sunglasses available to order via our Click & Collect website, so click on the button below to explore the range.

The most beautiful shot in golf

If we were to ask you this question what would you say? We think some of you would say the ‘Tiger stinger’ but a good proportion would say the pitch shot that takes a couple of bounces before stopping to a halt. It looks sensational but how on earth do you play it?

The key to making this shot is simple – your wedges. Yes, technique is key and is certainly something we can talk you through during a lesson but without the correct equipment you stand no chance.

Try PING's new Glide 3.0 wedges

If the grooves on your wedges are worn or dirty, it's time to either clean or replace them.

We love these Glide 3.0 wedges from PING, which boast Precision-Milled grooves for incredible performance.

Essentially, these patented wheel-cut grooves come with a sharper edge to increase the interaction with the ball, thus creating more friction and spin.

Mastering this shot takes practice and a little coaching, so book in with us and we will give you all the guidance you need.
