Golf on Tour

The big guns return

It’s been a strange year for the European Tour so far. Cancelled events, rescheduled tournaments and even new tournaments created. The pandemic hit the Tour hard and with relatively modest prize money on offer in the past few months, many of Europe’s biggest names have been Stateside.

This week will be different, though. The likes of Tommy Fleetwood, Matthew Fitzpatrick and Ian Poulter will return for the Scottish Open following the conclusion of the big-money FedEx Cup and the U.S. Open. It should be an exciting week of top-quality golf in East Lothian. We can’t wait!

If watching these big names on TV over the next few days has you purring at the prospect of playing better golf, send us a message and we'll get back to you in the coming days.

Getting it right

Finding the right putter throws up a lot of questions: Putter length? Toe hang or face-balanced? And, of course, blade or mallet? As you’ll see on Tour, everybody has their own preference. But let’s put that final question under the microscope for a second.

Cleveland Frontline and HB Soft putters

Cleveland's fantastic range of Frontline and HB Soft putters consists of various head shapes and sizes, including the ever-popular models that you can see above.

You can get the Frontline 4.0 blade or the HB Soft 12 mallet; both designed for stability and consistent speed off the face, helping you to putt better each round.

The decision of whether you opt for a blade or a mallet-style putter is a personal one. It comes down to your individual preference, as well as which suits your stroke better.

For example, if you have an arcing stroke you might find a blade putter works better for you. The best way to find out is to come and see us for a check-up and we'll be happy to help.

Modern technology at its finest

Technology has come a long way in the 21st Century, and golf certainly hasn’t been left behind. That is thanks, in large part, to Motocaddy. The trolley manufacturer continues to innovate at the highest level, giving you better products every year.

Downhill Control (DHC) technology

One of Motocaddy’s greatest inventions to date is Downhill Control (DHC), which allows trolleys like the M5 GPS DHC to move downhill at a stable speed without toppling over or running away from you.

Motocaddy M1 DHC and M3 Pro DHC trolleys

Motocaddy's DHC range

It’s not all about how they move, though. Both the M1 DHC and M3 PRO DHC also include LCD display screens and the SlimFold system that lets you fold your trolley into even the smallest car boot! Pop by the pro shop for a closer look.

Product spotlight

Cobra ONE-Length irons

Following Bryson DeChambeau's impressive U.S. Open victory, we wanted to shed some more light on the innovative ONE-Length concept that he uses.

Cobra and Bryson have taken most golfers favourite iron - a 7-iron - and made every iron in the set that length. The benefit to you is that you'll only need one swing out on the golf course, with the loft of each iron dictating how far the ball travels.

If you want to give ONE-Length a try, pop by the pro shop and we'll be happy to help!

Video of the Week

Many golfers up and down the country have hit some rather 'interesting' shots since coming back to the course after lockdown. It's not just club golfers though! Enjoy this week's video as we take a look at some of the worst shots hit on the European Tour during the recent UK Swing.
