Hello Golfers,

Welcome to the latest edition of our weekly newsletter. In this week's email, we explore who will be battling it out at the European Tour's flagship event this weekend, we look at ways of combining several layers to create the perfect outfit, and we discuss one simple way of achieving extra distance off the tee.

Enjoy the read.

Pro's news

Eyes on the prize!

What an amazing weekend of sport we have ahead of us: the first cricket test of the summer takes place at Lord’s as England host Pakistan; Liverpool face serial winners Real Madrid in the Champions League final, and tennis’ clay court season comes to its climax as the French Open gets underway at Roland Garros.

But, more importantly, the European Tour returns to our shores as Wentworth hosts the BMW PGA Championship. Last year’s victor, Alex Noren, will be looking to carry on his stellar form and make it back-to-back victories in this event but faces stiff competition from other Ryder Cup stars and past winners like Rory McIlroy and Paul Casey.

Pro's advice

Change your mindset...

How often are you faced with a difficult shot over water and say to yourself: don't hit it in the water. And what happens? Inevitably, the ball ends up in the water. So, the next time you're faced with a difficult shot, rather than telling yourself what you don't want to happen, tell yourself what you do want to happen, telling yourself where you want the ball to end up and how it will get there.

A positive mental approach will help you when faced with difficult shots.

More speed from Callaway...

Set to replace the Callaway XR 16 driver in May this year, the new XR Speed is said to take aerodynamic performance and clubface effectiveness to new heights, making it the longest and most forgiving Callaway XR driver model to date. It is designed to maximise ball speeds across the entire face, and is their lightest, most flexible and hottest face they've ever designed. We now have in-store the driver and fairways woods, so come in and have a look.

Create your look

We may be heading into summer soon but it’s still important to have the right clothing on you in case the weather changes. A lightweight mid-layer is the perfect piece to keep in your bag for exactly this reason, and combining it with other layers can create a great look.

UA Playoff polo

UA Windstrike vest

These Under Armour options come in a range of colours. It means that you can drop by and pick up just one item to complement your existing wardrobe, or build a whole new outfit from scratch. If you go for the latter option, we’ll be happy to help you combine three golf specific layers so you’ll never have a problem with temperature regulation or feeling restricted, which are two common grievances we hear from members who are replacing high street clothing.

The easy way...

One way to hit the ball further is to swing faster, but more often than not this will harm your accuracy and your quality of strike. An alternative option is to get custom fitted for one of the brilliant drivers we have in-store, where you can swing exactly the same each time and let the correct set-up do all the hard work to gain you yards.

The easy way to gain distance
If you’ve been put off investing in a new driver because you’re worried that your swing needs some work, you’re needlessly missing out on lots of immediate benefits. In reality you needn’t worry about this problem, as modern drivers are very adjustable and allow us to re-optimise them to suit your new swing as regularly as necessary.

This Lynx #BB driver offers us the tools to do this thanks to an adjustable loft hosel and its moveable 3g sole weights, which lets us alter your shot shape. You’ll also find a sole channel that contracts and springs to increase ball speeds to give you effortless long distance.
