Tour news

Koepka walks the walk

In an interview prior to the start of the PGA Championship, Brooks Koepka was quoted as saying he believes ‘Majors are the easiest tournaments to win’. Big words indeed, but the 29-year-old American backed up his claim by taking a wire-to-wire victory in New York.

But only just…

After heading into Sunday with a seven-shot lead, victory should have been a mere formality. However, the back nine at Bethpage Black proved problematic for Koepka as four straight bogeys through holes 11 to 14 left the chasing Dustin Johnson with a sniff of victory.

Back-to-back bogeys at 16 and 17 quickly put paid Johnson’s challenge as Koepka proved he more than has the ability to match his talk by holding out for his fourth major title with a two-shot victory.

Most overlooked club in the bag?

Thankfully, the penny has dropped when it comes to the importance of getting custom fitted for a new driver or set of irons. Unfortunately, we still see the vast majority of golfers overlook this process when it comes to their fairway woods, but why?

How often do you use yours?

“I wouldn’t use it often enough”
“It's too expensive”
“It's not necessary”

Yeah, I guess if you’re not concerned with shooting lower scores and maximising your potential then a custom fitted fairway wood isn’t that important.

However, if improving your game is something you want to achieve, then having a full set of custom fitted clubs is vital, especially when it comes to gapping between your driver and irons.

Callaway's Epic Flash fairway wood

One option that we'd definitely get you to try is this beauty from Callaway. Its Flash Face and Jailbreak Technology will increase your distance, whilst its new OptiFit hosel allows for an easy launch and a high, long-carrying flight.

So, let’s get you booked in for a custom fitting with a member of the team and harness your potential with the most overlooked club in the bag.

Dig out your evening jacket

The evenings are getting longer, the weather is getting better, and we're seeing more of you playing a few holes after work. When you do, having a warm layering piece in the bag is of paramount importance, especially when the sun starts to fall.

Getting maximum use out of a piece of clothing is important, so a stylish mid-layer like these are perfect as you transition from the course to everyday life.

FootJoy has brought to market a Chill-Out garment that does exactly what it says on the tin: keeps the chill out.

The Flat Back Rib and Woven option has a tonal woven overlay for a stylish yet subtle colour and fabric contrast. Another option is the Jersey Chest Stripe Chill-Out that boasts moisture-wicking technology for optimum comfort.

We have plenty of other layering options in-store so make sure you pop in and try a few pieces on.
