Putting things right

Sometimes, it's the most obvious things that get overlooked. When it comes to golf, the club most used in a round is a putter so surely it's the part of the game that deserves most attention?

We know this isn't a reality for many, but a combination of working hard on your stroke and having a putter that is suited to your stroke type will certainly improve your chances on the greens - two things that this promotion is all about. Click here to get in touch.

Captain's news

June Captains Blog

Well, what happened there? For me, June seemed to go in the blink of an eye and I’m now almost 50% through my Captains Tenure.

Unfortunately, my June was started in the middle of the night on Saturday, 1 June with a call informing us that my sisters’ husband had passed away unexpectedly at the age of 53. They live in Florida and we quickly rushed out there to attend the funeral and tried to console Jacqui. I mention this not for sympathy but to remind us all of our own mortality and how cruel and short life can sometimes be. So, instead of postponing that round of golf or away day because you’re too busy, just do it! You never know when it’s going to be your last.

One arrow, one life...use it wisely.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, a massive congratulations to Kristian Oakes and Nicki on the arrival of their new daughter Isobella! Great news and welcome to the wonderful world of parenthood. On the downside, Kristian now has even more excuses why he can't complete 18 holes. £5 to the first one who gets the, “I’ve been up all night with Bella” excuse. On a serious note, congratulations and good luck from everybody at WPGC.

Know your rules: Bunkers

Playing out of the sand is tricky enough without complicated rules getting in the way. Fortunately, golf’s hierarchy rewrote the rule book (literally) and from January this year we've been able to do a few things in the sand that we never could before.

So, what are these new-fangled rules and what do you still need to watch out for in order to avoid a penalty?

What you CAN do:

Touch or move loose impediments in a bunker (local rule previously)
Touch the sand with your hand away from the ball
Ground the club in the sand away from the ball as long as you're not testing the sand

What you CAN’T do:

Deliberately touch the sand to test its condition
Ground the club next to the ball when playing the shot
Touch the sand on a practice swing
Touch the sand when making your backswing

Hands up...

...if the only time you 'practice' your wedge play is when you hit a few shots at the start of your warm-up routine? Sadly, this isn't going to lead to a dialled in wedge game, which is one of the fastest ways to see your scores come tumbling down.

1 club. 3 swings. 3 distances.

Sounds easy, right? Well, it could be but first there are two things you must do in order to start saving shots.

1. Correctly gapped wedge system - What we mean by this is having an equal gap between each club in your bag, so you're never left trying to 'manufacture' a shot on the golf course (this is where large numbers start). Vokey's SM7 wedges are perfect for exactly this reason, coming in a range of lofts from 46 (PW) to 62 (LW) degrees so you have every distance covered with your wedges.

2. Have 3 distances with each club - As per the graphic above, if you became comfortable with full, three-quarter and half swings with each of your wedges, you’ll find that your wedge play becomes seriously more effective.

So now you know the secrets to lower scores, it’s time to utilise our expertise and professional advice in order to start unlocking your full potential with your wedge play. Come and speak to a member of the team next time you're at the club.

Spotlight: Titleist TS1 driver

The TS Project was undertaken with one key objective in mind: to deliver more speed than ever before, which equates to greater distance.

Well, after the phenomenal success of both TS2 and TS3 since their introduction late last year, Titleist has just launched TS1 which offers a higher launch and maximum distance for moderate swing speeds.

Will it be suited to your swing? There's only one way to find out...
