Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another edition of our newsletter

2019 is proving to be Austrian Bernd Wiesberger’s golden year after making it three wins on the European Tour in the last six months.

His latest triumph at the Italian Open sits nicely next to his Scottish Open and Made in Denmark trophies already in his cabinet from this year.

Wiesberger now sits proudly at the top of the Race to Dubai standings and in pole position for a Ryder Cup spot. Impressive stuff from a man who missed the last seven months of 2018 with a wrist injury!

Enjoy the read.

 
 
The round white thing...

Since the game began in the 15th century, there is one thing that has never changed – the ball being the only piece of equipment used on every shot. Despite this, it still gets a raw deal with some golfers viewing it as less important than the clubs used to hit it. So, we decided to take a look back and see how modern golf balls compare to those of yesteryear.

In the beginning

Feathery balls reigned supreme for over 200 years in the early days of golf, but even they are relatively new compared to the original hairy balls (guess what they were stuffed with!).

It's hard to imagine what it would be like playing with those balls these days, and even the later-developed Gutty and Haskell balls left golfers with little-to-no room for error.

Where we are today 

There was no such thing as compression 100 years ago, yet today Wilson Staff is producing golf balls that lead the way in this department, providing an incredible feel for the golfer.

One such ball is the DUO Professional, which also boasts impressive distance and is available in more than just the normal white finish that we've come to expect as standard.

Find your sole mate

See what we did there? Finding your sole-mate is no easy task and, yet, as our shoes are the only part of our body that stays in constant contact with the ground during the golf swing (well they should do anyway!), getting it right is crucial for both performance and comfort.

Let those stats sink in for a moment or two. Do they surprise you?

If you're wondering whether your shoes are the right size, here are some tell-tale signs to look out for:

  • Creasing on the upper
  • Wear on the inside heel
  • Stretching around the side

Just because you wear certain sized trainers or smart shoes doesn't mean your golf shoes will follow suit, and that's why we're here to help.

Come in to see us and we'll make sure that you not only walk away with the correct size but also the model that gives you what you want, whether it's stability, comfort or a pair that simply look great - like FootJoy's UltraFIT Boa above.
