Hello Golfers,

Welcome to our new newsletter. In this week's read, we take a look at how close Vijay Singh came to setting a new PGA Tour record, we highlight one of the best bits of technology we've seen in 2019, and we delve into some of the controversy surrounding an updated rule for 2019.

But first I want to welcome you to our new newsletter and website.

Give a Garmin this Mother's Day

We'll start by letting you in on a little secret: Mother's Day is on the 31st March this year. This means you have around two weeks until the day comes around, so it's time to start thinking about a present if you haven't already. In the build up to the day, we're reducing the price of Garmin's Approach S10 by £20; so this sleek and lightweight Golf GPS watch is yours for only £119.99. There's a choice of colours and it lasts up to 12 hours in golf mode - what more could you ask for?

Out with the old, in with the new

Sometimes, you buy something new because there's a need; for example, your golf bag has broken zips or the stand no longer works. At other times, you upgrade what you already own because there's something new that you want, such as a new golf bag in-store that looks fantastic. Whatever your reason is, we're offering £20 OFF selected bags in-store when you trade-in your old one with us - no matter its condition!

Phantom X coming soon

What's the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Scotty Cameron putters? Style. Quality. High-tech. Well, the brand new Phantom X line has all three in abundance and we can't wait for it to land in-store next month. The recent trend towards mallet putters - ones with a larger head - is set to continue and this new range comprises of nine modern shapes, each with improved alignment options, fantastic forgiveness, and improved sound.

Tour news

Do people finally respect Molinari?

Ryder Cup hero, Major champion, European Tour Golfer of the Year, Race to Dubai Champion, oh, and now Arnold Palmer Invitational winner thanks to a monster 44-foot putt on the 18th.

To say Italian Francesco Molinari has been hot property for the last 12 months would be an understatement, and a two-shot victory at Bay Hill on Sunday only went to confirm his status within world golf. A bogey-free eight-under 64 mirrored Rory McIlroy’s final round in 2018 when the Northern Irishman went on to win the tournament by two-shots and this time it was Molinari’s turn to repeat that feat.

2018 was undoubtedly Molinari’s breakthrough year but ahead of this year’s majors, we want know who you think will rise to the occasion in 2019 and break their major duck; head over to our website to have your say.

Enter our poll.

Quiz time

A stunning upgrade…

Motocaddy has always been at the forefront of trolley innovation, with the world's first GPS electric trolley amongst their ranks. Well, this year they’ve made some significant upgrades to the immensly popular S1 model, which we think you're going to love.

New Motocaddy S1 electric trolley (2019)

We don't like using the term 'entry level' to describe the new S1 as it offers so much more than what this suggests. At first glance, you'll take a liking to its modernised styling and graphics, which will really help make it stand out from other trolleys on the market. Then you get to its technology: new and improved sunlight-friendly LCD display, nine speed settings, advanced battery meter so you needn't worry about it running out mid-round without knowing, and a super-lightweight Lithium battery to name but a few.

The new S1 for 2019 is as good as it gets at this price point, so pop in-store to take a look and get one in your hands.

Spotlight: PING G410 Plus driver

We are huge fans of PING's latest driver and it's for one simple reason:

It offers significant performance improvements

The main talking point for us is its Moveable Weight technology, which allows us to put added weight in one of three locations to help fight your bad shot. For example, if your common miss it to the right, we'd put the weight into the draw setting to promote a right-to-left ball flight.

Video of the Week

We don't envy the team who have to make the #1 ball in golf even better every two years, but that's exactly what they've done in the new Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls for 2019. Watch this review video to find out how they performed when put to the test.

I hope you enjoyed my latest newsletter. If you need any help or advice on anything golf please pop into the shop and we'll be delighted to help. David and the golf team.
