Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another edition of our newsletter.

It is not only in the UK where the rain has been falling, the pros on Tour also had to endure a downpour or two in the rather pleasant surrounds of Honolulu with one player staying in the hunt to take the victory. You will also find our regular features so take five minutes, grab a coffee and have a look through.

Enjoy the read.

Smith weathers the storm

A wet Sony Open burst into life during the final hour as Cameron Smith came from two back with two to play to force a playoff with long-time leader Brendan Steele.

It was soon over as momentum carried Smith through with a simple par at the first extra playoff hole to ensure he claimed his first PGA Tour victory outside of a team event.

It could - and probably should - have been different for Steele, who had a three-shot lead with just seven to play before it all fell apart. Bogies at 13 and 17 ending up proving fatal to his chances of making it a fourth PGA Tour win as Smith stayed in the game at a rain-soaked Wai'alae Country Club, Honolulu.

Don't let winter deter you...

You won't find anyone who says they prefer golf in the winter than summer. But just because the conditions are not as good, it doesn't mean you shouldn't continue working on your game, meaning you can get even more enjoyment from your golf in the peak of summer.

We're able to offer you lessons on the range to work on your long game, short game lessons as well as putting lessons. And yes this photo was from a putting lesson last weekend - it almost looks like summer...

Evolution...

It’s safe to say that the technology embedded into today’s clubs has helped us hit the ball further without swinging any harder. For some that might mean hitting the ball as far as we did before the effects of ageing started to take place, whereas for others it means booming drives 300+ yards and reaching par-5s in two.

Evolution of golf clubs

Just imagine...

If you hit every club in your bag five to ten yards further, your tee shots will be longer and you'll have less distance remaining to the green. So, rather than standing there with a 6-iron you might now have an 8-iron in your hand, which gives you a much better chance of hitting it close.

We can help you!

This can be the reality for a lot of club golfers today, but only if you make sure your clubs are right for your swing. With lots of new products hitting the shelves in the coming weeks, now's the perfect time to try out a few different options and see if we can make a difference to your game.

Rainy season

Hats off to any weekday and weekend warriors out there. It’s great to see that no matter how cold or wet it is, you still venture onto the course to enjoy some time with your friends. We only have one piece of advice for you: be well equipped for what Mother Nature might throw your way!

FootJoy waterproofs

At least this guy has a brolly! But, when it comes to playing golf in the rain, we're talking about a lot more than simply that. From the latest waterproof suits (jacket and trouser) to bags and umbrellas, it’s all key to staying dry with a smile on your face.

FootJoy waterproofs

When it comes to your clothing, we recommend wearing FootJoy's HydroLite V2 jacket and trousers (pictured above). They're completely waterproof, remarkably unrestrictive and are available for you to try on in-store.
