Hello golfers,

In this week’s email, we cast our eye over an essential item for golf this year, we give you a run down of some of your driver options for 2018, and we review what was almost a magical round for Ted Potter Jr.

Enjoy the read.

Callaway Rogue driver & iron fitting

We have had a good first week with the new Callaway Rogue product. Two iron fittings, a wedge fitting and a hybrid test all proved successful. I'm looking forward to sharing some testimonial's with you in the near future.

Here's a reminder of what fitting option's we have available:

6 x Rogue Driver heads plus an option of fourteen shafts to get the best fit for your game

Rogue iron Optifit system with eleven heads and fifteen shafts.

All club testing and fitting is charged at £30 per hour but if product is purchased this cost is deducted. We use a Launch monitor to record all club data, this helps us to find the exact club match for your swing.

Bad weather stops play

Last Saturday's competition had to abandoned due to heavy rain.

All who entered will be able to use the entry fee paid against their next competition.

59 watch. Again.

How do these guys manage it? Each week we see tour golfers shooting mid-to-low 60s, with a round in the high 60s seeming to be a disappointment for some. It’s incredible to think that these scores are the norm as us mere mortals struggle to get it around 18 holes without running out of golf balls, let alone carding a sub-70 round with such regularity.

Last week it was Ted Potter Jr’s turn to flirt with a 59. Starting on the back nine, the American was seven under through his opening seven holes and stood on the 16th tee 11-under-par for the day. All cameras were pointing in his direction, needing just one birdie on his final three holes to shoot the magic number but, unfortunately, he came up agonisingly short with two bogeys to sign for a 62.
