Hello Golfers,

Welcome to the latest edition of our weekly newsletter.

Golf’s second major of the year is upon us and what a fascinating week it’s set to be at Shinnecock Hills in New York. It's the fifth time that the American links has held the U.S Open, and the course is an absolute brute measuring nearly 7,500 yards, including a 252-yard par-three. Keep a lookout for Phil Mickelson as he looks to complete the career Grand Slam at a course where he's finished second in the past.

Enjoy this week's articles below.

 
 
Which 50% are you in?

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: the key to unlocking lower scores lies in improving your short game. Having the correct technique is one part of the journey to achieving this. The other is making sure your wedges are the correct grind and bounce for your swing, as well as having a set of wedges that are evenly gapped to cater for any distance.

50% of you are like the first graphic
If you’re working hard to get your handicap down to single figures, it really will pay off to dedicate more of your practice time to your short game and the shots you need to improve in the scoring zone. As you can see with the graphics above, the wrong wedge set-up can lead to an awkward 35-yard gap and more difficult half shots, which is why we always recommend a gapping session or fitting.

With Wilson Staff you have plenty of options, including this popular FG Tour PMP wedge, which comes in 11 different lofts between 48° and 62°. It means whether you’re looking for a two, three or four wedge set-up in your bag, we can get your yardages gapped perfectly.

36 holes? Trolley and cart bag required

Longer days and better weather brings with it the option to play 36 holes in one day. If you’re the type of golfer who loves to make the most of a full day’s play, it’s well worth considering a spacious cart bag to accompany you.

Never get caught out
Some of you reading this will be avid trolley users, whether that’s due to their ease of use or the many health benefits, so a spacious cart bag can be the perfect companion when you want a full day’s golf. It allows you to pack for any eventuality.

Take this Pro-Series bag from Motocaddy for example. It weighs just 3.8kg, yet it boasts seven spacious pockets, including one to keep your valuables dry and one to keep your food and drinks chilled. You also get a scorecard holder and an external putter well that fits oversized grips, as well as a practical 14-way top with full-length dividers.
