Hello Golfers,

Welcome to the latest edition of our weekly newsletter. In this week's email, we give you six reasons why you should shop with us, we recap a fantastic week at Wentworth, and we review a momentum changing week for the Europeans.

Enjoy the read.

Tour news

Magnificent Molinari and Red-hot Rose

Thomas Bjorn will be sitting at home quietly pleased with the weekend’s outcome. Putting his personal performance at Wentworth aside (a missed cut for those of you wondering), two of his Ryder Cup stable raced to convincing victories either side of the pond.

The BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth had everything: a player snapping his shaft around his neck, a different player topping a fairway wood (it happens to the very best) and spectators getting in the way of golf balls. However, the story of the week belonged to Francesco Molinari as he atoned several near-misses to claim the biggest victory of his career, ousting Rory McIlroy and Alex Noren in the process. The Italian is widely regarded as one of the best ball strikers on tour, which was clear for all to see as he played flawless golf for much of the week with only two blemishes on his card, one of which was on his very first hole.

Another European who played exemplary golf on his way to victory was Justin Rose, who had a birdie putt of 20 feet or shorter on 45 of the 72 holes he played in the Fort Worth Invitational. Just let that sink in for a minute. Most pros would be happy to have hit 45 greens for the week (Rose hit 57), but hitting the ball that close on a consistent basis is simply phenomenal.

It’s shaping up to be a classic

With the Ryder Cup just four months to go until Europe battle America for the Ryder Cup in Paris, we thought we’d take a little look at how the teams are shaping up. If you take the world rankings as any sort of guide, you’ll notice that nine of the top 20 are Europeans and eight of the top 20 are Americans. That’s 17 of the world’s top 20 golfers potentially going toe-to-toe in one of the most eagerly anticipated match-ups in Ryder Cup history.

Shop news

You have until Sunday...

It's been running for the entire month but, like all good things, our immensely popular Shoe Trade-In must come to an end and this Sunday is that day. So, if you want money off a new pair of shoes, bring in your old ones and use them as a trade-in against selected others before it's too late.

Why choose us?

When it comes to purchasing golf equipment there are many factors that you need to take into consideration. One such factor is your shopping destination, so here are just a few reasons why we should be your number one stop for all things golf.

There’s only one choice
Unlike buying blind from the internet and hoping the specs you choose match up and nothing goes wrong, here in the shop you can test a vast range of products and see all the stats for yourself to help you make an informed purchase that you can have total confidence in.

It's our custom fitting ethos that really separates us from buying elsewhere, which is something you really should take advantage of.

Two of the latest iron models that are proving very popular with our members are the Mizuno MP-18 MMC and JPX900 Hot Metal. The former offers a multi-metal construction with both lightweight titanium and heavier tungsten for forgiveness in a more compact profile, while the latter combines a distance enhancing face with a larger profile that aids off-centre forgiveness.

Summer's calling

This week takes us into June, which means the hottest months are on the horizon. It also means we’re likely to see more of you making regular appearances here at the club and at this time of year, there is one accessory that is a huge asset, both on and off the course.

You can’t beat a pair of Oakleys
Whether it’s to track your drives in low sunshine or for summer comfort away from the course, we can find a frame shape and lens style to suit you. Both the Oakley Flak 2.0 XL (worn by Cabrera-Bello above) and Oakley Targetline models you see below come with the option of Prizm Golf lenses, which separate similar colours to enhance the differences between grass lengths and highlight subtle breaks on the green.
