Smiling Cinderella wins at Woburn

It was a fairytale ending for ladies Japanese golfer, Hinako Shibuno, who made her first competitive start outside Japan a special one by winning the AIG Women’s British Open at Woburn this weekend. Nicknamed ‘Smiling Cinderella’ for her happy approach out on the course, she made light work of the back nine of the Marquess course all week carding an 18-under par total.

American Lizette Salas missed a putt on the last to potentially force a play-off, but did secure second place on her own and all but assure her spot on the American Solheim Cup Team this September at Gleneagles.

Home hopes faded on the final day with Charley Hull, Georgia Hall and Bronte Law all shooting over-par rounds, however, they will look to bounce back at the Ladies Scottish Open this week.

If you're still wearing polos from years gone by that have threads hanging off and buttons missing then it's probably time you upgraded your wardrobe - wouldn't you agree?

We have a fantastic range of clothing available in-store, some of which has been discounted for your pleasure - and in peak season, too!

So, be sure to pop your head in next time you're down the club and bring that old shirt with you.

The simple shoe equation

Mathematics can be a complicated subject with all that pi, algebra and calculus floating around, but there is one simple equation we can all understand:

uncomfortable golf shoes = a miserable time for all

FootJoy's ContourFIT shoe

Let’s break down this equation further

The main problem here is that walking on hard ground for four hours/18 holes in the summer months can take its toll on our feet.

Blisters and bleeding are common signs that something isn't quite right and the issue will only be exasperated if your golf shoes are worn, cracking or ill-fitting.

So, what’s the answer?

After running the numbers through our super-computer, we end up with a pair of golf shoes that are designed for comfort, like FJ’s ContourFIT.

The combination of an extra thick underfoot fit-bed with an Achilles pad will have you walking on cloud nine for the entirity of your round. Why not pop in the shop and try a pair on this summer?

Adjust to your surroundings

Driver adjustability has been a marketing buzz term for a number of years now, but how much of a difference will it really make to your game? Well, we decided to find out.

We could bamboozle you with tech speak when it comes to adjustability but there are two key ways in which today's drivers can be adjusted to suit your swing, making a custom fitting more important than ever before.

Hosel adjustability

The first is the ability to adjust loft and lie angles in the hosel. If you're launching your driver too low or high, hosel adjustability allows us to add or take away loft until we get the perfect launch conditions for your swing.

Perimeter weighting

The second is the ability to adjust weights on the sole of the head to favour either a draw, fade or neutral shot shape.

Take Callaway's ultra-fast looking Epic Flash driver for example. A 16-gram moveable weight (as well as an adjustable hosel) can be re-positioned during a custom fitting to help counteract your bad shot.

Missing your drives right?

For example, if you're struggling with a miss to the right, we can put the weight in the draw setting to promote a right-to-left ball flight that will straighten up those leaky misses right. Come and speak to a member of the team for more information.
