We are all missing this sight

Let's hope we can be back on the course and enjoying some golf soon. I must say we are blessed with a great layout at Newark and I am sure Alex and his team will prepare the course in excellent condition for the coming season.

Can anybody tell me what hole this is?

The first person to respond will receive a 20-minute assessment lesson (free of charge) with one of the team.

Hatton outshines McIlroy

Rory McIlroy opened the new European Tour season in an all-too-familiar fashion last weekend. The Northern Irishman was part of a fascinating tug-of-war battle with Tyrrell Hatton at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, only to be completely outplayed by Hatton during the final 18 holes.

Just about every player’s bag was brimming with new, exciting-looking equipment; both Hatton and McIlroy heading into battle with brand-new drivers and fairway woods from their respective brands.

Did you catch a glimpse of any clubs that got your blood pumping? Keep your eyes peeled, because we’ve got plenty on the way too. And, if you can’t wait, feel free to ask us what’s new & coming soon by getting in touch below.

Measure & conquer the course

A lot of things can go wrong in a golf shot and lots stem from the pre-shot routine. Figuring out how far it is to the hole, followed by which club to use, can be tricky. Getting it wrong can mean the shot is doomed before you’ve even swung the club. In the not-too-distant past, this was an issue. Now? Not so much. We have solutions in the form of Garmin GPS devices.

Garmin distance-measuring devices and launch monitors

Garmin GPS devices

Garmin’s products have been immensely popular in recent years, and 2021 promises to be no different.

They're renowned for fantastic accuracy and detail, helping you get precise distances on over 41,000 golf courses, along with a range of other incredible tracking features for your round.

You can get hold of stylish watches, like the sleek Approach S40, packed with distance to the green as well as hazards and doglegs. Taking it up a notch, the Approach S62 watch has a Virtual Caddie, which suggests which club you'll need to hit, as well as handy off-course features such as heart-rate readings and contactless payments.

Alternatively, if watches aren't for you, then the Approach G80 not only gives you key distances on the course but also doubles up as a launch monitor to enhance your practice!

Well, if you could only use one club to complete a hole from tee-to-green, which would you choose? Enjoy this week's video from the European Tour as Hatton, Kaymer and Morikawa take on the One Club Challenge!
