It's impossible not to get excited about the Masters, especially with so many players coming into form. However, one player - who has had his hands on the coveted Green Jacket once before - is perhaps standing out more than anyone else at this moment in time.
Adam Scott won the WGC-Cadillac Championship in impressive style, seven days after claiming the Honda Classic. The Australian has been a world-class performer for many years, so it's not surprising to see a player of his calibre notch back-to-back wins.
What is interesting, though, is that Scott has switched seamlessly from his long-handled putter to a standard flatstick, making a mockery of those fears that he'd be unable to do so following the enforced Rules change. Who'd bet against him adding a second Masters title to his CV next month?
If you're encountering putting issues, or feeling low on confidence on the greens, take heart from the fact that it can happen to the very best. We can help you find a solution by taking a look at your putting stroke, just pop by the shop or get in touch and we'll be happy to advise you.
Driver Fitting Challenge - 32 Yards Gained
Anyone who has been in the shop this week will have seen the large amount of equipment that has arrived. We now have demo clubs available for PING, Taylormade, Titleist, Lynx and Callaway.
We had our 1st fitting yesterday testing drivers with member Adrian Mckay and he gained 32 yards on his drive from his old PING G10 driver compared to his new M2 Taylormade driver.
If you would like to come and test the new equipment and see how many yards you can gain to you drives please get in touch with the pro shop. Remember that any Taylormade Drivers that are purchased before the Masters could potentially be FREE if Justin Rose wins at The Masters.
