Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another edition of our newsletter. As the race for those all-important Ryder Cup points continues, we look at how one man overcame a three-shot deficit to maintain a standout season on Tour and thrust himself to the top of the Race to Dubai standings. As well as our other regular features, we take another trip down memory lane this week by looking at how far golf balls have progressed from yesteryear in one of our articles.

Enjoy the read.

Three is the magic number

2019 is proving to be Austrian Bernd Wiesberger’s golden year after making it three wins on the European Tour in the last six months.

His latest triumph at the Italian Open sits nicely next to his Scottish Open and Made in Denmark trophies already in his cabinet from this year as he once again demonstrated his patience to prevail at Olgiata Golf Club, Rome. 

Trailing Matthew Fitzpatrick by three-shots heading into Sunday, a fine bogey-free 65 was enough to get the job done and lead the Englishman home by a single shot on -16.

Fitzpatrick will rue a double-bogey on the ninth that proved to be his undoing despite an eagle chance at the seventeenth and a birdie opportunity at the eighteenth to take it to a playoff.

The victory propels Wiesberger to the top of the Race to Dubai standings and leaves him in pole position for a Ryder Cup spot - Impressive stuff from a man who missed the last seven months of last year with a wrist injury!

 
 
 
 
The round white thing...

Since the game began in the 15th century, there is one thing that has never changed – the ball being the only piece of equipment used on every shot. Despite this, it still gets a raw deal with some golfers viewing it as less important than the clubs used to hit it. So, we decided to take a look back and see how modern golf balls compare to those of yesteryear.

In the beginning

Feathery balls reigned supreme for over 200 years in the early days of golf, but even they are relatively new compared to the original hairy balls (guess what they were stuffed with!).

It's hard to imagine what it would be like playing with those balls these days, and even the later-developed Gutty and Haskell balls left golfers with little-to-no room for error.

Where we are today 

100 years ago the thought of using a state-of-the-art Graphene-infused Dual Soft Core to minimise driver spin/maximise distance would have been unthinkable (and probably impossible) – but that is exactly what features in Callaway's Chrome Soft.

Snazzy Truvis styling is something the Chrome Softs offer too for those golfers after something a little bit different. Why not grab a dozen or two and leave the Gutty at home?

Find your sole mate

See what we did there? Finding your sole-mate is no easy task and, yet, as our shoes are the only part of our body that stays in constant contact with the ground during the golf swing (well they should do anyway!), getting it right is crucial for both performance and comfort.

UltraFIT Boa
FootJoy UltraFIT Boa shoes

Let those stats sink in for a moment or two. Do they surprise you?

If you're wondering whether your shoes are the right size, here are some tell-tale signs to look out for:

  • Creasing on the upper
  • Wear on the inside heel
  • Stretching around the side

Just because you wear certain sized trainers or smart shoes doesn't mean your golf shoes will follow suit, and that's why we're here to help.

Come in to see us and we'll make sure that you not only walk away with the correct size but also the model that gives you what you want, whether it's stability, comfort or a pair that simply look great - like FootJoy's UltraFIT Boa above.
