Tour news

Na’s got Seoul

Kevin Na’s final-round 66 at Colonial saw the 35-year-old sweep to his third PGA Tour title by four shots from big-hitting Tony Finau.

Na is proof that sometimes sheer driving power is not always the answer, averaging 'just' 280 yards off the tee (still a long way but far shorter than a majority of his competitors). Fortunately for Na, Colonial is a tight track where placement over power is the key to victory and as the only man in Tour history to have recorded three rounds of 62 or better at Colonial - as well as co-owning the course record of 61 - it was inevitable he would one day claim the title for his own.

Bronte sets new Law ahead of U.S. Open

There was British success stateside over the weekend as England’s Bronte Law claimed her first LPGA Tour title in fine fashion at the Pure Silk Championship in Virginia.

It has been a whirlwind month for the 24-year-old after she just missed out on a maiden title at the Mediheal Championship at the beginning of May, losing in a playoff to Kim Sei-young. But with the U.S. Women’s Open getting underway this week, Law could not have hit form at a better time.

1 gap, 2 options

The term 'gapping' is commonly used to refer to the yardage distance between each of the wedges in your bag. We want to break this thought process and get you to think about gapping for your entire set, because any unequal gaps between clubs will have a detrimental impact on your game.

Gapping at the top end

One part of your set that needs careful consideration is how you transition from your irons into your woods. Lots of golfers struggle to hit their longer irons and instead opt for a replacement hybrid or a more forgiving option, which can lead to large gaps between clubs if you're not careful.

So, what's the solution? Well, take advantage of our services and professional advice, and we'll make sure you have the perfect club/s to fill any gaps at the top end of your bag.

What are your options?

We'll start with Titleist's 818 hybrids. There are two models to choose from: the 818 H1 is a tremedously forgiving option that launches high into the air for impressive distance, whilst the 818H2 is aimed for those after precise yardages and control.

If you're a confident ball-striker, it might be a case of looking at a utility iron like Titleist's T-MB. More forgiving than a traditional muscle back iron, the T-MB delivers a high launch and faster ball speeds for ultimate performance.

So whether you're after a hybrid that will land softer into the greens or a utility iron that is perfect off the tee, speak to a member of the team about your choices.

Get your kicks on this summer

Now that the better weather is upon us, it's time to pack those waterproof shoes away in the garage and step onto the course in a stylish new pair of breathable kicks for the summer months ahead.

Why not try the FJ Flex?

No one wants to take their shoes off after a round to reveal a less-than-desirable whiff.

Fortunately, that is no longer a concern thanks to this shoe from FootJoy, which focuses on breathability and comfort to keep your feet feeling fresh all day.

However, that is not even the best bit!

The Versa-Trax outsole has been engineered for perfect on-course performance with wear-to-the-course versatility, so you'll be getting maximum bang for your buck.

So, what better way to prepare for the warmer months than by coming down to the pro shop and trying on a pair of FJ Flex shoes before you head out for your next round?
