Are golfers fore-going safety?

It's time for a rant. From our very first adventures onto a golf course we're encouraged, no demanded, to scream 'fore' if our ball is going off line. We've all had to do it, both for ourselves and playing partners, when we see a miss-hit flying towards another golfer on the course who we're frantically hoping would just move out of the way.

So why is it that when the tour pros skew one left or right, where hundreds of spectators are lined up along the edge of the rough, do they not see the importance of shouting 'fore'? Take Pat Perez for example. On Sunday he saw a stray tee shot clatter into the head of a spectator on the 12th, before firing another loose drive into the leg of another spectator on the 15th. And guess what - no shout of 'fore' on either occasion.

Perez isn't in the minority either, it happens far too often. Shane Lowry's tweet (seen above) hits the nail on the head. Let's hope more players follow his mindset.

FootJoy Pro/SL

I'm delighted to say FootJoy's latest shoe - the Pro/SL has now arrived in store. After much waiting 'The Players' Spikeless' shoe is now available, with superior feel and comfort for on and off the course.

The shoe is fitted with Fine Tuned Foam (FTF) for supple cushioning and a perimeter weighted outsole designed for increased stability.

This shoe will be worn by numerous tour players around the globe, walk in the same foot prints as Andrew 'Beef' Johnson, Lee Westwood and Adam Scott in 2017.


Coming Soon - Odyssey O-Works Microhinge

I'm excited to inform you Odyssey's newest putter line will be in-store from tomorrow - Friday 17th February.

But what is so exciting…. 

The secret comes from the unmatched forward roll with Odyssey's Microhinge Face Insert Technology, this will change the way people look at roll off the putter face forever. The Microhinge Insert Technology provides incredible gains in topspin and roll at impact regardless of your stroke. The stainless steel Microhinge plate is co-molded into a Thermoplastic Elastomer Feel Layer, providing great feel and allowing the hinges to lift the ball into a better forward roll at impact.
