Berger's victorious eagle | Spieth's comeback continues

Daniel Berger emerged victorious on Valentine's Day after a grandstand finish worthy of a champion. Having double-bogeyed the 18th hole to complete his third round, the young American had a change of fortunes come Sunday as his stunning eagle left him two shots clear of the rest of the field at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

However, the story of the week arguably came a few spots further down the leaderboard as Jordan Spieth competed down the stretch for the second consecutive week. It might not sound like a big story given the phenomenal start to Spieth's career, but the American has been battling with his game for a few years now in a stretch that saw him fall to 92nd in the World Rankings. Could this be the start of a resurgence for Spieth? The signs are certainly there!

Distance Measuring Devices allowed on Tour

In other news, distance-measuring devices (laser rangefinders) will be permitted at the men’s, women’s & seniors’ PGA Championships this year. Whilst this has caused some debate amongst golfers and experts alike, it’s a reminder of just how incredibly useful they can be out on the course, saving time and shots.

If you're still pacing out your yardages from the 150-yard marker, maybe it's time to look at how these fantastic bits of technology could help your game? Send us a message below if you'd like to explore this further.

The value of mid-layers

I’m sure we’re all pretty thankful to be moving towards spring - which means the Masters isn’t too far away (again!) - but we’re not clear of the winter weather just yet. Some days the waterproofs might be needed, whilst other days they can be left at home. So, what’s the solution?

Well, fortunately, some bright spark came up with the idea of a mid-layer. Giving you plenty of warmth and protection from the elements, mid-layers can come in handy both underneath a jacket in harsh weather or as your outermost layer on the milder days.

Under Armour has some great examples, like the Storm quarter-zip pullover with its dual-layer protection and ultra-warm brushed interior. Whatever the weather decides to do, you’ll have the right tools for the job with this mid-layer.

Time to upgrade?

With new products being released each year, it’s hard to know where to look when it comes to upgrading your set. Heck, it’s not too easy for us either! But, together, during a custom fitting, we can discover what the perfect model(s) is for your game; making your investment even more worthwhile.

Mizuno JPX921 Hot Metal Pro irons

On that note, it just so happens that Mizuno’s JPX921 irons are available through us. The Hot Metal model allows golfers of every level to enjoy Mizuno’s cutting-edge engineering, with the Hot Metal Pro coming in a more compact, precise clubhead.

The use of Chromoly 4140M generates incredible amounts of energy in the clubface, making it easy to generate distance. Adding perimeter weighting to create a Stability Frame raises the forgiveness on offer no matter where you strike the ball.

JPX921 in action

What we love most about the JPX921 range is that the four models can be easily mix-and-matched to create your perfect set. For example, having a more forgiving model that's easier to hit in your long irons (Hot Metal) with a more workable option further down (Forged).

This is something we can help you with during a fitting experience. So, if you want to get yourself booked in for when we're back open, send us a message and we'll get back to you.
