Hello golfers,

Welcome to the latest edition of our weekly newsletter. In this week's email, we ask you whether you've noticed something different on your putter, we have our second video from Ian Poulter, and we discuss a fantastic achievement by one man and his caddie. Enjoy the read.

The longest hole in history

We all love a challenge; beating a personal best or doing something outside of our comfort zone. That feeling of having achieved something beyond what we normally would.

In an attempt to raise $100,000 for children’s charities, one man and his caddie (subsequently joined by an adopted dog on their journey) set out to complete the longest hole in history; a par 14,000 carved out of difficult Mongolian terrain, culminating at the 18th green of Mt. Bogd Golf Club.

It took them 82 days to trek the 2011km hole, facing rocky ground, swamps, icy water and desert in the process – click on the link below to view their video. With only 134 balls lost – with one ball lasting 65km! – the man holed a nervy seven-footer to complete the longest hole in history in 20,093 shots, just the mere 6,093 over par. A really special achievement for some fantastic charities.

Watch their journey here.

 

A trip of a lifetime

Some of you may remember one of my emails back in August advertising next years Thurlestone US Masters Trip. I’m sure you don’t need telling that this truly is the trip of a lifetime of which every golfer has to do at least once in their lifetime.

We have only 5 places left on this years trip so if you are interested in the 2018 trip please come into the pro shop for more information or call me on 01548 560715.

Briefly, we will be staying for 8 nights in the Hyatt Place Hotel in Columbia SC on a bed and breakfast basis. The Hotel is perfectly placed for travelling to Augusta and playing the local courses. The package includes admission to Augusta on the Tuesday for the Practice Day and also admission on Friday’s Tournament Day.

You will play 4 rounds of golf at various local courses all within a 30 minute drive of the hotel, and the cost includes car hire shared between 4 people. The proposed itinerary is as follows:

- Sunday, 1st April 2018 - Fly from London Heathrow to Charlotte NC
- Monday, 2nd April 2018 - Play Golf
- Tuesday, 3rd April 2018 - Attend US Masters Practice Round
- Wednesday, 4th April 2018 - Play Golf
- Thursday, 5th April 2018 - Play Golf
- Friday, 6th April 2018 - Attend US Masters Tournament Day
- Saturday, 7th April 2018 - Day at Leisure
- Sunday, 8th April 2018 - Play Golf
- Monday, 9th April 2018 - Return to Charlotte for flight home to London Heathrow

The cost of this trip is £3600 per person excluding flights. To secure your place on the trip all I need at this stage is a £250 deposit per person and then the balance will be paid 10 weeks before we travel.

Please note that this is only a proposed itinerary and you may wish to extend your time in the US or indeed if you have less time a shorter trip can be arranged.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Look down and what do you see?

Have you ever noticed the difference in looks between various putters that you’ve tried in the past? We’re not just talking about the head shape, but also the sightline each model has to help you aim accurately at address. Take a look at these two putters below…

PING Sigma G Wolverine

PING Vault Anser 2
PING Vault Anser 2

As you can see above, PING’s range of putters covers not only different shapes of blades and mallets to suit different stroke types, but also a range of alignment designs to suit your different personal preferences when it comes to aiming your putts.

The best way to find your perfect match is to come and try a few models and while you do that we can take a look at your stroke and help narrow down your best options.

Keep your options open

As the weather takes a turn for the worst, it’s important to have a few different layering options that can combat the cold, wind and showers. The below tops are just two items we sell in-store that can do just that:

Under Armour Storm Sweater Fleece Patterned ¼ zip
Rain beater

This sporty Under Armour Storm SweaterFleece Patterned ¼ Zip offers performance and comfort in tandem thanks to Storm fabric technology that repels water from this soft, lightweight and comfy fleece material.

Under Armour ColdGear Reactor Hybrid ½ zip
Warmth with stretch

We think this Under Armour ColdGear Reactor Hybrid ½ Zip is an ideal option for the winter. Its lightweight quilted material delivers evenly distributed warmth, plus its stretchy side panels will aid a free flowing swing.
