Pro's news

The best ever...

Well, it wasn't the same without the patrons but it was still a Masters to remember with the most outstanding display from DJ.

How did we ever watch golf without shot tracer in the past and it was amazing to see the drivers taking off and especially how accurate and straight they all were.  It didn't work out for Bryson after all the talk and was great to see Langer beat him, the oldest player ever to make the cut (even though I had a bet on Bryson and I tipped him to win).

Overall it was a win for Titleist with the following stats:

Masters Tournament Equipment Counts:

Golf Balls: Titleist - 61 (66%), Nearest Competitor - 10 (11%)

Drivers: Titleist - 29 (32%), Nearest Competitor - 21 (23%)

Fairways: Titleist - 40 (28%), Nearest Competitor - 40 (28%)

Hybrids: Titleist - 12 (33%), Nearest Competitor - 6 (17%)

Utilities: Titleist - 21 (53%), Nearest Competitor - 17 (24%)

Iron sets: Titleist - 23 (25%), Nearest Competitor - 16 (17%)

Wedges: Titleist - 126 (50%), Nearest Competitor - 34 (13%)

Putters: Titleist - 27 (29%), Nearest Competitor - 32 (35%)

I can't wait to get hold of the new driver and see if I can get some extra distance.

To help with the driver and thanks to Andy Thompson and Nigel Oakes I will be using a new shaft called Autoflex.  It simply is the best shaft I have ever used and will transform your long game.  Watch the links below for a review on it from TXG

They aren't cheap but I think worth it and will make life so much easier.  If you have any questions or would like to have a go when we open up again please let me know.

Wriggers' Rules

Putting Infringements

This week, we look at what penalty, if any, a golfer incurs when playing their ball from the wrong place on the putting green. But be careful, there are two very similar instances that have two different rules. Click below to find out more.

Enjoy.

DJ's Masterclass

We had to wait a long time for the 2020 Masters, but Dustin Johnson made sure it was worth it with a stunning 20-under tournament record.

The quiet-mannered American stalked the course with the swagger and calmness of a true champion. His golf was out of this world. DJ avoided the big mistakes (unfortunately, the same couldn't be said for Tiger after a 10 on the par-3 12th) and took birdies as they came. At one stage his lead was cut to just a single stroke on Sunday afternoon, giving the chasing pack and a resurgent Rory a glimmer of hope, only to put his foot down on the accelerator and never look back.

A fully deserved Green Jacket and he'll rightly be the favourite once again come April. DJ's story speaks for itself: four times he has led in a Major going into Sunday but never converted. Well, I guess it was fifth time lucky! And, as Butch Harmon said during the coverage: "he's the closest we've seen to Tiger".

Not going the extra yard

Golfers have enough hoops to jump through on the course if we want a respectable scorecard at the end of it. With golf balls not travelling as far in cold air and not getting the usual run out off the tee, it feels like the winter is just throwing even more obstacles our way!

Clubbing-up in the winter

Rather than trying to rip the skin off the ball by swinging extra fast - especially when it's into the wind - the better option is always to club up. What we would usually see as say 7-iron range, suddenly becomes 6 or even 5-iron range.

Long irons and hybrids can be very useful at this time of year, especially the latter. Being able to swing the club normally opposed to trying to hit it harder will impart less spin on the ball and give you a better chance of finding the centre of the clubface.

Video of the Week

Given how impressive Dustin Johnson's driving was en-route to picking up his first Green Jacket, this week's video comes from inside TaylorMade's Tour Truck. Enjoy as they talk us through how they build DJ's driver, including some bespoke bits just for the world number one.
