Hello Golfers,

Welcome to the latest edition of our weekly newsletter. In this week's email, we explore which golf ball is best suited to your budget, we take our first glance at Motocaddy's latest electric trolleys, and we reveal the answer to last week's poll.

Enjoy the read.

First one way, now the other

The U.S. Open had everything from the sublime to the ridiculous, and it’s safe to say that the course set-up played a huge part in this. With much of the debate centred around whether the USGA made conditions too tricky or not, we posed this very question to you over the past week on our website poll and here are the results:

75% of you believe the USGA got it wrong at Shinnecock Hills

It really does make for interesting reading. Just a couple of months ago we asked you whether you’d prefer to see 20-under-par win a tournament or two-over-par, and the results were the complete reverse. On that occasion, 82% voted in favour of seeing the world’s best struggle to make a score, which is exactly what happened at the U.S. Open.

Which bracket do you fall in?

There’s one thing that you'll always need in abundance when playing golf and that’s balls - and plenty of them. Each golf ball we sell offers different levels of feel and performance at varying price points, meaning we have something to offer all playing preferences and budgets.

Bang for your buck
Balls at a cheaper price point usually have one key performance benefit rather than offering a little of everything. The Titleist DT TruSoft bucks this trend by offering incredibly soft feel combined with longer distance on all shots through the bag.

The all-rounder
If you’re looking for more balanced performance through the bag without the premium price tag, this Titleist Tour Soft ball provides category leading soft feel, very fast speed for impressive distance and excellent short game performance.

Tour performance
The saying 'you get what you pay for' certainly applies when it comes to golf balls. Titleist's Pro V1/x are their premium options, and it's easy to see why, with their soft urethane cover delivering exceptional greenside control.

The perfect fit

It’s hard to believe that over half of golfers are wearing the wrong size shoes. If we were to ask you, would you be confident you were wearing the correct size? Have you ever been professionally measured for your golf shoes, including for width?

Have you been measured?
You might wonder why all this is important. Buying properly fitted shoes has many benefits, such as holding their shape to look newer for longer, less upper creasing and splitting, and it allows you to use the ground efficiently to create power - and we all know that every yard helps.

The FootJoy Tour-S comes in a range of sizes from 6 to 12, so it’s worth coming in to get measured before you buy.
