Tour news

Mickelson has his eye-in

Phil Mickelson endured a frustrating wait to record his fifth AT&T Pebble Beach title this week. Following a delayed start to Sunday's final round due to overnight rainfall and a mid-round hailstorm, Mickelson rolled back the years. Lefty executed shot after shot to find himself three ahead with just two holes remaining, before getting forced off the course due to bad light.

With just 'lefty' and 54-hole leader Paul Casey taking to the course on Monday, a Mickelson win was all but a formality with just the final two holes left to navigate. And so it proved.

Arguably, the most impressive feat of the week came during Mickelson's opening round, when he managed to hit every single fairway for the first time in over two decades. We all know that splitting the fairway from the tee is a sure-fire way to take shots off your game, but we also know it is no easy task. Practice makes perfect but if you find yourself going wayward more often than not, or just want to tidy up your game, then come and have a chat with us to enhance your chances of staying out of the rough.

Couldn't live without it

More and more golfers are placing their trust in GPS equipment to help them on the course, providing key yardages to hazards and greens on every hole. If you’re yet to take advantage of this technology then you really are missing out, so here are a couple of our favourite products for you to cast an eye over...

Garmin Approach S10 Watch

This is the perfect accessory to help you get your exact yardage to the green with nothing more than a glance at your wrist. Sleek, lightweight and comfortable, the S10 GPS watch provides yardages to the front, back and middle of the green on over 41,000 courses worldwide, on top of hazards and doglegs, giving you all the key information you need to play better golf.

Garmin Approach G80 Device

Now this is something special. The Approach G80 is a handheld GPS device that gives you colour maps of every hole as well as key distances to greens and hazards. In addition, its integrated Launch Monitor not only tracks key data such as clubhead speed and estimated distance, but it comes with four game modes to enhance your practice time at the range.

The agony of choice

Spikeless golf shoes have come a long way in recent years, with the myth that they offer considerably less traction than cleated models a thing of the past. Here we showcase a model of each option that we particularly like, both of which you can buy through us.

Cleated: FootJoy UltraFIT Boa

Brand new for 2019, this lightweight and waterproof shoe from FootJoy is set to be one of the best performing shoes of the year.

The main talking point of this good-looking shoe is its Boa Fit System, which delivers precise comfort and control in just a few rotations of the dial for the perfect fit each and every time.

Spikeless: FootJoy Pro/SL

This shoe has been one of the best spikeless shoes on the market for several years now, with a whole bunch of Tour players opting for Pro/SL.

A 3-piece outsole enhances both the cushioning and stability you'll experience with these on, whilst a range of stunning colourways makes this stylish shoe one of the best yet.

Spotlight: PING G410 irons

When it comes to irons, there aren't many brands with the pedigree and continued dominance as PING, which is partly down to their fantastic custom fitting solution that we have in-store.

Entering their range for 2019 is this phenomenal G410 iron, which is the one iron within PING's range that is suited to all levels of golfer. Forgiving, powerful and high launching, click on the button below to learn more about this impressive option.
