The Masters 2018

Reed more about it

There's nothing quite like turning on the TV at the beginning of April to watch the very best golfers tackle one of the hardest courses in the world. With pristine fairways, treacherous greens and flowers in full bloom, Augusta National looked nothing short of a golfing paradise once again over the weekend.

The 2018 Masters tournament had it all. From Tom Watson's Par-3 Contest triumph and Finau's ankle popping hole-in-one celebration on Wednesday, to Garcia's four shots into the water on the 15th on Thursday, to Jordan Spieth's near course record and Major victory on Sunday.

Each day had its own story but the week belonged to the young American who collected his first Green Jacket

No penalty

Golf can be a frustrating game at the best of times, but incurring a penalty stroke when you’ve accidentally done something wrong seems very unfair, especially when that one stroke could be the difference between getting a handicap cut or not.

Current Rules
Under the current Rules of Golf, if you accidentally nudge your ball while addressing it you incur a one-stroke penalty and must replace it (18-2). The only exception relates to if it is accidentally moved in the process of marking it. In this case, it must be replaced and there is no penalty (20-1).

New Rules from 2019
The new proposed rule (13.1c) states there will no longer be a penalty for accidentally causing your ball to move on the green and you must replace it on its original spot.

Let us make it simple for you

We pride ourselves on being the only place you need to go for your golfing needs, which is especially true for golf balls. But we also realise that because we offer a wide range, it can be hard to know which model is right for your game.

Tour performance

If you have a fast swing speed, you’re probably an ideal candidate for the Srixon Z-Star, which is the choice of Hideki Matsuyama and Graeme McDowell. It boasts tee-to-green performance thanks to its Energetic Gradient Growth Core that provides softer feel with improved launch conditions for more distance, plus its Spin Skin coating that enhances spin on approach shots.

Balanced performance

The Srixon AD333 and Srixon AD333 Tour are both fantastic options for club golfers, with their lower compression cores able to generate more distance for players with moderate swing speeds. The AD333 delivers a balance of distance and control with its two-piece design and ionomer cover. The three-piece AD333 Tour meanwhile, is a premium lower-compression ball thanks to its urethane cover.
