Golf on Tour

Golf's back on UK soil

When Sergio Garcia won The Masters in 2017, every headline was along the lines of ‘Finally!’. More than three years later, his win at the PGA Tour’s Sanderson Farms Championship marks his first win since and prompted many similar headlines. Although, did you know both victories involved Sergio putting with his eyes shut at impact?

On the European Tour, Tommy Fleetwood looked to cap the return of the big names at the Scottish Open, a Rolex Series event, with a victory. But fellow Englishman Aaron Rai upset the odds to beat Fleetwood in a playoff that saw Tommy miss from a couple of feet at the first playoff hole.

Both storylines demonstrate the importance of putting well when the pressure's on. So, if you struggle with holing out or three-putt too many times due to poor distance control, send us a message below and we'll be happy to help.

World Handicapping System

Let's get clued up

The new World Handicap System (WHS) comes into effect on the 2nd November 2020, which is now less than a month away.

We know that many of you have questions about what it is, why it's needed and how it will impact your current handicap.

Well, the WHS has put together lots of easy-to-understand videos that will, hopefully, answer these and more. If you're still unsure after giving them a watch, pop by the pro shop for a chat.

The secret to a successful winter

Practice makes perfect, right? But perfect practise gets you there a lot faster. We've said it before - and we'll no doubt say it again - but winter provides the ideal opportunity to iron out some of those faults that have crept into your game.

It starts with a list

Begin by evaluating (out of ten) how close you are to your target for each area of your game. It's always best to be completely honest with yourself when doing this. In other words, forget about the odd time when you've hit a shot like Tiger and focus on what happens consistently round after round.

Where we come in

Now you can see which area of your game needs most work and this is where we will start. Having a lesson tailored specifically to your weakness will make the world of difference. So, if you need a pointer or two from the team, send us a message below. Bragging rights are imminent...

The path to better iron play

Hitting an iron and finding the heart of the green feels great. However, the big change comes when you can repeat that time after time - with the odd exception, of course. Not only will your scores begin to drop, but you'll also be full of confidence every time you pull a club out of the bag.

Timing is everything

First things first, new irons are like a pair of new shoes: they take time to wear in. If you want to be playing your best golf in the spring when the season kickstarts, it’s best to get those new irons in the bag right around…well, now.

Which irons to pick

Well, when it comes to confidence with your irons, PING’s G410 irons are what you need. The irons look clean and reassuring behind the ball, and the perimeter weighting helps you strike the ball cleanly more consistently.

To top it all off, going through our fitting experience will ensure you get the most out of any purchase with us. So, if you're wondering whether new irons is the right move for you, why not send us a message?

Product spotlight

Brand new | Srixon ZX woods

Yes, Srixon is a brand best known for making fantastic golf balls, but its new ZX range of woods and irons is equally as impressive.

We really like the graphic of the ZX5 driver here - one of two options in the range. The added detail suggests a really fast face, which ultimately leads to longer and more consistent drives.

Well, that is exactly what we found when giving it a whack! So, if you're in the market for a new toy we'd recommend giving this a try at Thorney Golf Centre.

Srixon ZX Woods now available in the pro shop
