Hello everyone,
Well, what did you make of Tiger Woods' return last weekend? As golf enthusiasts, it was a fantastic sight to see Tiger strolling the fairways again and throwing in a few fist pumps that we've all become accustomed to over the years. There were some interesting stats too:
24 - He made 24 birdies over the four days which was the best in the field.
6 - He also carded six double bogeys, the most out of everyone.
Midway through Saturday's round it looked as though Tiger was going to challenge for the title - what a story that would have been - but, rather unsurprisingly, the 14-time Major champion wilted during his final round as mental fatigue no doubt played a role in his fall down the leaderboard.
But the real shining light was Japan's Hideki Matsuyama. He's been a model of consistency of late and victory last week made it four wins in his last five starts, the other result being a lousy runner-up finish. Phenomenal.
It's the type of form that we all crave, but what are you doing to achieve this in 2017? If you think an upgrade to your new equipment might help then come and see us in the shop and we can talk you through which products might benefit your game. Or maybe you're considering some coaching over the winter to cure your game of that destructive shot that keeps creeping in? If that's the case, we certainly have the expertise to rid your game of faults to help you fulfil your goals next year.
Whatever it is, get in touch with the team here and we'll be happy to help.
