Hot off the shelf

The new Titleist driver and fairway woods are being launched at the end of this month but being a staff ambassador and a advanced fitting centre we are very lucky to have the woods in now for fitting. The woods are extremely powerful and for the first time they are performing right up there with the other top manufactures.

They have changed the name to TS and they come in TS2 or TS3 in the driver. The TS2 is designed to create spin and help get the ball airborne and the TS3 is designed to create a lower launch and create less back spin. The same goes with the fairway woods.

Hows it been performing so far? We have fitted quite a few members and guest so far and the results have been excellent. Take a look for yourself.

Try a Garmin GPS for FREE

Golf's a game where you need to utilise all the help you're given. One specific way that has seen a huge boom in recent years is the use of GPS devices, which are particularly useful when it comes to knowing distances to the front, middle and back of greens, as well as hazards and doglegs. Throughout September, we're giving you the chance to 'Try Before you Buy' on selected Garmin devices, including the Approach S20 watch. What do you have to lose?

The green have been double sarel rolling and over-seeded. They then have been brushed.

In your sight

Sightlines on putters might seem like a nice design, but they are there for a reason as they help you aim your putts more accurately, and help you centre the ball on your putter. But with so many different styles, it can be hard to know which one will aid you the most.

It’s up to you
If you prefer a more modern look, why not try the TP Red-White Ardmore 3?

Alignment is improved considerably thanks to the red-white contrast, which helps golfers envision a proper path from the ball to the hole. Various head shapes with different sightlines in the Ardmore range means there'll be a sightline to suit every golfer's eye.

Something different
Alternatively, the Spider Tour from TaylorMade is certainly for those who prefer a larger head.

This putter's used by some of the world's very best golfers, such as Jason Day and Dustin Johnson. A recent addition is the sightline on the crown, helping to dial in your focus over every putt as well as act as an extension to the line on your ball when lining up your putts.

Having a ball

When you’re watching the pros you’ll often see them hitting shots with amazing distance off the tee, along with plenty of spin from around the green. The way they strike the ball helps achieve this, but the ball itself is a crucial component of their game.

TaylorMade TP5 and TP5x

Here are two great options worth trying for a round or two. If you want a lower spinning and higher launching ball off the tee, the TP5x is for you. If you're after a softer feeling ball with a lower trajectory then you need to try TaylorMade's TP5 model.

TaylorMade Project (s)

The Project (s) is new for 2018 and is all about speed, which relates to distance. Still offering incredibly soft feel, the Project (s) delivers low driver spin for signficantly longer drives. What's more, it's available in white, yellow and orange.

Video of the Week

If you're considering a new driver in 2018, three drivers that will definitely be on your radar are Callaway's Rogue and TaylorMade's M3 and M4, but which one came out on top in our testing?

I hope you enjoy the rest of the newsletter, have a great week.
