Hello Golfers,

We hope you're well and finding things to do. Unfortunately, we did all of our decorating during the last lockdown and gardening isn't much fun this time of year. I'm glad we have The Masters to watch this week, this will be the first time I have ever been able to watch all four days, what a treat.

Only 35 tickets were sold in our draw so we will not be able to do the daily prizes, but will do overall prizes to 5th place.

1st £60 | 2nd £40 | 3rd £35 | 4th £25 | 5th £15.

Enjoy the read.

Pro's travels

A beautiful walk...

With so few jobs that need doing around the house and not wanting to waste a glorious Saturday afternoon, Tracy and I took a walk from Hockley into Winchester along the Itchen River and past St Catherines Hill.

If you've not done this before, it's well worth it and for the 'fit' ones, you can walk up St Catherines Hill.

There is also the option of walking across to the hill from the golf course from the path by the 14th green I believe.

A great couple of days away...

I would like to thank James and Adam for holding the fort whilst Tracy and I have been away, they have done a great job.

We had a couple of days in Saunton Sands in North Devon and you can see from the image below our view from the apartment, the other way was the beach, unfortunately, no sunbathing, but great if you like kite surfing.

I was very fortunate to play the East course at Saunton Sands GC on Wednesday last week and it was glorious no wind and I played in just a shirt and jumper, no woolly hat!

Hitting your irons close

Hopefully, you’ll be watching The Masters on TV this week as there will no doubt be plenty of great golf on display. If ever there was a course that put a premium on finding the greens, it’s Augusta National.

TaylorMade SIM Max & Max OS Irons
TaylorMade SIM Max Irons


Augusta isn’t the only course where finding the green is important, though. Whatever course you’re playing, you want to be confident that you can put yourself in a putting position.

In rainy weather, the greens are softer so the ball will stop more quickly, meaning it’s important you can find the right part of the green too. Can you find the exact distances? Are your irons up to the task?

No need to panic if they’re not! TaylorMade’s SIM Max and SIM Max OS irons are designed with a large head that’s shaped to be forgiving, allowing you every chance of catching that ball right. This gives you the confidence to aim closer to the pin, as well as the ability to pull it off.

Video of the Week

Bryson DeChambeau has been the biggest talking point in golf this year (apart from the newly introduced WHS). With nine top-10 finishes and a U.S. Open victory to his name, the vast changes he's made to his body and golf game seem to have paid dividends. Enjoy this week's video from the PGA Tour as we take a look at how he's gone about it, what gains he's produced and what his fellow Tour players think about it!

I hope you have enjoyed this week's update.
We hope to see you soon
Gary, Tracy, James and Adam.
