Pro's news

Moliwood go to battle

The European Tour will be hoping to match the excitement of the PGA Tour’s finale, with the Race to Dubai close to reaching its season-ending climax. Fresh from their exploits in the Ryder Cup, the ‘Moliwood’ pairing of Francesco Molinari and Tommy Fleetwood are busy occupying the top two spots, with Molinari holding a 1.4 million point lead over Fleetwood, who triumphed in the Race to Dubai last year.

Also in contention are Patrick Reed and Rory McIlroy, with the former looking to prove that his Ryder Cup display is well and truly forgotten. Reed will be more at home in the arid conditions than he was at Le Golf National, so he could be one to keep an eye on. It should be a great ending to what has been a memorable season.

Rules update

Change for the better

Double hitting is a bone of contention for golfers, as it can be difficult to tell when a playing partner has hit the ball twice. The current rule for double hitting (14-4) states that if a player strikes the ball more than once during a stroke, the player must count the stroke and add a penalty stroke for two strokes altogether.

However, with the new rules of golf coming into play on 1st January 2019, Rule 10.1a will state that if the player’s club accidentally hits the ball more than once during a single stroke, there will be no penalty. This is down to the fact that as the double hit was not the intention of the player, it was deemed unfair for the player to be penalised.

A little help from my friends...

Seeing the 'Holy Trinity' of Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas and Rickie Fowler having a great time together whilst playing the best courses in the world can leave you feeling a bit envious. Sure, you and your friends have a good enough time down at the club, but you might want to experience something truly special all together - a golf trip away.

Go the distance

We've all been there - around 75 yards out and faced with a tricky little pitch shot towards a tight pin; danger over the back and a tier just before the flag that will take anything short down to the front edge.

The first stage in overcoming potential card wreckers like this is knowing how far you hit a full shot with each of your wedges. The second is having three different distances that you can comfortably hit with each, adding to your options when faced with this scenario.

Wilson Staff PMP

One wedge which will offer you the versatility required for absolute precision in distance control is Wilson Staff’s PMP. It has wider grooves and laser-etched Micro Spin lines, which are designed specifically for more control on shots into and around the greens. The three sole options - Traditional, Tour Grind and Wide - give you the variation you’ll need to successfully conquer even the tightest of pin locations.
