Hello Golfers,

Welcome to this week's edition of my weekly newsletter. We hope that you're having a fine week both on and off the golf course.

Enjoy the read.

Studio news

Georgia Hall 2018 Ladies British Open Champion comes to Bradfield…

Wow...what a privilege for not only myself but all our golfers who were fortunate to attend this amazing experience, picking the brains of one of the best female golfers in the world. The girls and boys golf team(s) came up with some great questions to ask Georgia in the 90 minutes she was inside the Performance Studio.

Then they witnessed first-hand why she is one of the best in the world by hitting about a dozen 8 irons on TrackMan that you could throw a blanket over how precise and accurate she was. Then she wowed everyone why she’s one of the best drivers of the female game by easily hitting her tee shots accurately 250-265yds.

To cap off the experience, the students challenged her to a nearest the pin challenge (the boys 163 yard 12th at Royal Birkdale and the girls 98 yard 15th at PGA National) with Kiko Dar and Arabella Cuming coming out on top.

So, what a great afternoon for Bradfield Golf and once again, major thanks goes to Georgia Hall, her caddy Harry and Vicky Cuming for their precious time in arranging what was one of Bradfield’s great golf experiences.

The art of putting

‘Drive for show, putt for dough’. No doubt you have heard this one a few times before but considering putting equates to between 30 to 50% of our shots on the course, it also has a large element of truth in it.

Odyssey Stroke Lab Triple Track putters

There's some clever technology out there to help you putt better. For example, Odyssey has taken the Triple Track Alignment from the ERC Soft golf ball and combined it with their Stroke Lab shaft to create this stunning range of putters.

If you're someone who struggles to line up correctly on the greens, come and try Odyssey's Triple Track putters at Bradfield College Sports Complex. Better putting might just be around the corner.

The whole puzzle

If you're considering buying new irons this year, have a think about how they are going to blend into the rest of your set. The idea is to have equal yardage gaps between each club in your bag so, if you are going to treat yourself, it might be worth replacing a long iron with a hybrid that is easier to hit.

Take danger out of play

The illustration here is a good example of where a hybrid comes in handy. When our driver brings danger into play and a long-iron leaves us too far to the green, a hybrid is the perfect option.

One hybrid that we particularly like is the TaylorMade SIM Max. They've added the popular V-Steel sole to a hybrid for the first time, helping to improve turf interaction for better strikes. Call us on 07508 079100 if you fancy trying it out.

Video of the Week

Lots of drivers have been launched already this year but there's one model that has really taken us by surprise! If you're in the market for a new toy in 2020, we couldn't recommend Mizuno's ST200G highly enough and here's why…

I hope you enjoyed this edition of my newsletter. If you need any more help or advice please contact me in the shop or reply to this email and I'll be delighted to help. Best regards Simon McGreal
