Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another edition of our newsletter.

The British Masters took place at Walton Heath in Surrey last week and was hosted by the local favourite, Justin Rose. The tournament had a stark weather contrast from start to finish with conditions declining and making it a real grind for the players. The tournament winner was Eddie Pepperell who dealt with the conditions the best and led from start to finish to claim a two shot victory. Eddie’s highlight of the week was his impressive hole in one on Thursday at the ninth hole, earning £20,000 for charity and a celebratory bottle of wine from the tournament host.

Enjoy this week's read.

Accuracy over distance

If you watched the Ryder Cup last month then one thing should have become clear to you: finding the fairway off the tee is a must. Whilst distance does help, there's no point thrashing a drive as far as you can if you don't hit the fairway, finding yourself cutting down trees as a result - as depicted in the illustration below.

Find the short stuff

In order to shoot lower scores, you need to put a premium on finding the fairway, something that a custom fitting for Mizuno's GT180 driver will certainly help with. Twin moveable 7g weights, which have a range of locations to impact spin rates and fade/draw bias, allow us to set up this driver to counter any destructive misses that you might have.

Shake off a shower

As winter approaches, we can expect a lot of things with one certainty being rain, and a lot of it. We all know what this can lead to - feeling soaked out on the course, a barely readable scorecard and, in some cases, just a generally miserable round of golf. Enter, golf-specific waterproofs….

Those disgruntled feelings of being drenched during your 18 holes will be a thing of the past, once you've got your hands on adidas' Climaproof jacket. Designed with a wind-and-water-resistant material, this jacket is perfect for keeping you warm and dry during wet rounds of golf. Its four-way engineered stretch fabric also lets you swing freely, meaning you won't feel hindered by the extra layer.
