Don't put yourself at a disadvantage

We always encourage the golfers we teach to get out on the practice ground between lessons. It’s through this repetition that swing changes start to feel more natural so the pupil can then hit the course full of confidence. We love good habits like this, but there is one habit we see all the time that we certainly don’t recommend…

Hole Illustration

NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE?

It’s not uncommon for us to see members playing a scuffed ball, using it until it eventually gets lost. But ball damage, such as worn dimples or surface cuts, can alter the airflow over your ball, making your trajectory more erratic and causing wayward shots and shorter carries.

You might think this would have minimal effect versus and unblemished ball, but a mark across just a few dimples can make 10 yards difference to a shot, as we’ve demonstrated in the illustration here.

IT'S AN EASY CHOICE

You have the ability to ensure your ball is the same on every hole, which is why we recommend finding one you like and sticking to it to improve your consistency.

One to definitely try is the Srixon AD333 Tour, which has a Speed Dimple pattern that reduces drag for longer carries, plus a SpinSkin cover coating that increases friction for added spin.

Get more bang for your buck

We’re well into summer now, which means we’re likely to see the sun shining (fingers crossed). While we’re all happy to wear sunglasses to see better in the car, we know many of you don’t trust them to not fall off mid-swing when playing golf, but that needn’t be an issue.

PERFECT FOR DYNAMIC MOVEMENTS

As you can see in the images above, your head moves in unison with your swing, so it’s very important when selecting eyewear that offers UV protection that you also choose something with this in mind. These Oakley Radar EV Path Prizm sunglasses have earsocks and nosepads that increase grip, even when you’re hot and sweaty. This also makes them perfect for running and cycling, which adds some great value.

There are a host of other benefits we can discuss too, plus many different styles from wrap-around to stylish lifestyle looks that you can try on here in store.
