Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another edition of our newsletter

2019 has been dominated by two things on Tour, slow play and the new rules. This time it was the latter which stole the show after German Marcel Siem failed to realise preferred lies were NOT in play after lifting, cleaning, and placing his ball five-times on the front nine at Le Golf National.

Ten strokes was the penalty and the four-time European Tour winner decided to disqualify himself from the event.

However, that was nothing compared to Lee Ann Walker, who was handed a whopping 58-stroke penalty over two rounds at the Senior LPGA Championship after being unaware that you are no longer allowed to have your caddie line you up.

She won’t make that mistake again!

Enjoy the read.

 
 
Keep on chipping away

There is always more than one way to play a shot. Take the chip below as an example, which could be played with several different clubs, each of which requires you to land the ball in a slightly different place.

Chipping
Pick your landing zone

The higher lofted the club you choose to use, the closer to the pin you can afford to land the ball. This is because it'll impart more backspin on the ball than a lower lofted club, so will stop quicker if struck correctly.

Some of you may see this as an advantage, whereas others might prefer using an 8-iron as it behaves more like a putt and has more room for error. Whatever your choice, we're here to help make sure you execute the shot correctly.

Who had a pair of these?

I'm sure the shoes below will make a lot of you smile. It's been a long time since golf shoes looked like the first image and it's safe to say that comfort, style and traction have all come a long way since then - even if some of us think the overlapping tongues looked great!

Old style shoes

It wasn't just the daring uppers and striking tongue that defined golf shoes from yesteryear; flip the shoes upside down and the hard leather outsole featured single metal spikes that resembled weapons more so than traction pods.

Modern golf shoes

Extreme comfort is a given with today's shoes (thankfully) and that's certainly the case with FootJoy's UltraFIT Boa. They also boast Boa's Fit System, which is controlled by a dial on the heel that replaces traditional laces for the perfect fit.
