Golf on Tour

Alfred Dunhill and Pedersen's Hat-Trick

For most people, 2020 has been a tough year. For Emily Kristine Pedersen, it’s been one of golfing glory. The Dane stormed to her third Ladies European Tour victory in a row at the Spanish Open, winning the season-long Race to Costa del Sol as a result. Thrilling stuff!

The men’s European Tour headed out to South Africa for the Alfred Dunhill Championship, with home favourite Christiaan Bezuidenhout rallying on Sunday’s back-nine to claim the title. Bezuidenhout’s journey, overcoming the adversity caused by a childhood accident, is an incredible one and this is certainly a heart-warming victory.

If these heroics have inspired you to improve your game, send us a message and we can discuss how we'll be able to help.

Decide to drive

Most golfers will know that tee-box toss-up of whether to take the driver out or not. How far can you hit it? Can you hit it straight enough? Put simply: Is it worth it? You’ve got to be sure, but many golfers aren’t.

TaylorMade’s SIM drivers are designed to make you feel confident. The Thru-Slot Speed Pocket maximises distance, whilst Twist Face technology keeps your drives straight. That means you’re gaining more and risking less by putting this in the bag.

Alongside the standard SIM model, we offer the SIM Max for a larger, even more forgiving clubhead and the SIM Max D for a draw bias, helping golfers who tend to go too far right.

Keeping calm on the course

If you’re reading this, you probably love golf. I certainly do. Why? There are far too many reasons to count. However, whilst we enjoy the sport, we can also sometimes get nervous or frustrated out on the course. Let’s look at how to deal with these issues…

Nerves

He may not look it, but Tiger will have been nervous in every one of his 82 PGA Tour wins. For a recreational golfer, remembering the bigger picture on that first tee – That a mistake on the course wouldn’t be the end of the world – can be very useful.

Frustration

Taking your mind away from the source of frustration, whether it’s hitting your ball out of bounds or missing a short putt, is key. That could be talking to a playing partner about something unrelated or simply focusing on your next shot.

Video of the Week

The dreaded shank might just be one of the most soul-destroying shots in golf! Well, it might please you to know that they happen more frequently than you expect to the world's best too. So, enjoy this week's video from the European Tour - is this the best shank ever seen?

Hope you enjoyed the newsletter and have a great weekend. Steve, Lorraine, Jack and Joan.
