2019 has been quite the year for golf and 2020 promises to be no different as we welcome the new World Handicap System (WHS) to the UK.

How will it impact you?

The nuts and bolts say that the best eight scores from your previous 20 rounds will form the basis of your handicap, whilst your scores from the previous 12 months will play a role to prevent wild fluctuations in handicap.

Interestingly, abnormal course and weather conditions will also be taken into account after each round.

It all sounds a little complicated but we'll keep you updated with the latest information and what it means for you as we draw closer to its introduction in November 2020.

Adapt your game for winter

Just because the weather has turned chillier and course conditions are beginning to get trickier, it doesn’t mean you need to hibernate your clubs for the winter. In fact, quite the opposite, as a couple of simple adaptations to the way you play will ensure you continue to get the most out of your game.

Putting

The putting surface is finely cut throughout summer and although our greenkeepers continue to do an excellent job in winter, the grass tends to remain slightly longer in the colder months thus requiring a bit more oomph to get the ball to the hole.

Clothing

The latest golf-specific clothing retains heat whilst remaining incredibly lightweight so you have complete freedom of movement on the course. So, leave the baggy jacket at home and make sure you have some of the latest golf attire in the bag.

Change your ball?

Maybe it’s time to go for a golf ball that prioritises distance in the winter? We all know that the ball doesn’t travel or roll as far in the wetter months, so pop in to see us next time you are at the club and we can guide you through the best options available.

A new ball from Titleist

It's not uncommon for brands to launch their products as the greatest thing since sliced bread, however, if you like to play a ball that has an ultra-soft feel and doesn't shirk its responsibilities off the tee or around the green, then the brand new TruFeel could well make a justified claim to that title.

Who says you can't have everything all at once?

We were pleasantly surprised when we gave the new TruFeel a try. It not only replaces the popular DT TruSoft in Titleist's range, but we think it's a considerable upgrade too.

We'll leave it to you to make your mind up when you give this ball a try, but it certainly combines an incredibly soft feel with impressive distance.

Pop in-store to pick up yours today; in the meantime, click the link below to find out more.

Video of the Week

The flop shot is one of the best looking shots in golf, which is made to look incredibly easy by the world's best. Unluckily for Tyrrell Hatton, his first take here didn't quite go to plan…

Enjoy the rest of my newsletter and have a great weekend.
