Tour news

The Odd Couple

Here’s a question for you…

What do a 42-year-old Texan and a 24-year-old Spaniard have in common?

The answer is they paired up to win the Zurich Classic of New Orleans last weekend - the PGA Tour's only team event.

Ryan Palmer and Jon Rahm stormed to a three-shot victory at TPC Louisiana in the Crescent State, scooping just over $1 million each in the process. Once the duo had found the top of the leaderboard after the second hole on Sunday, they never relinquished the lead on their way to a comfortable three-shot victory.

Palmer admitted he was surprised when Rahm accepted his offer to pair up, but both will no doubt be glad he did after Palmer claimed his fourth PGA Tour win and Rahm his third.

Molinari Highlights Slow Play

Once again, the debate on slow play reared its ugly head over the weekend. Edoardo Molinari tweeted a list of timings after playing a five-and-a-half-hour round at the European Tour’s Trophee Hassan II event, making it clear he wasn't happy.

Northern Irishman Graeme McDowell was quick to dismiss Molinari’s clear frustration, saying he is ‘flogging a dead horse’, claiming players can’t get around any quicker. But what do you think?

Should the pros be leading by example in the hope that play quickens up at club level? Or should Molinari stop worrying about everyone else and focus on his own game?

From green to tee

Be honest, how much thought do you put into the golf ball that you play? Probably not as much you do your clubs but considering the ball is in play on every single shot, using any old thing that you find at the bottom of your bag could be leaving you paddling uphill.

Which Titleist ball to play?

The first question to ask is:

What do you want from your ball?

Obviously, getting the thing in the hole in as few shots as possible is the ultimate goal, but there are many paths to getting there.

There are balls that offer impressive distance, such as the Titleist Velocity, whilst others that provide incredible feel, such as DT TruSoft. But if you are looking for total performance without sacrificing on any one element, Titleist's Pro V1, Pro V1x and AVX balls are truly phenomenal.

With subtle differences between each, this is where having a chat with a member of our PGA qualified team will have you leaving with the best ball for your game - what will yours be?

Oh, for putts sake

Well played! You’re on the green in two, outside chance of a birdie, just knock it close and walk away with the perfect par. Only that isn’t always the case, is it? Three putts later and you’re walking to the next hole cursing, but it doesn’t have to be that way…

Introducing PING's Sigma 2 putter line

Confidence is key when it comes to putting better and the revolutionary Sigma 2 putter will give you the feeling of making any putt you're faced with.

How so? I hear you ask...

Well, the answer lies in the shaft, with 8 out of 10 golfers using putters that are the incorrect length for their game.

The Sigma 2 features an adjustable-length shaft, which enables us to fit you into the perfect putter length.

Incorrectly matching your shaft length to your stroke and posture is likely to be one of the reasons why those mis-putts occur and is a bigger problem than many realise.

Lots of golfers are benefiting from custom fitted drivers and irons, but still neglect their putter.

As the most used club in your bag, surely improving your game begins with the very club you use to put the ball in the hole?

Speak to a member of the team next time you're down the club.
