Greetings golfers,

Welcome back to the weekly newsletter. This week, we discuss the European Tour's novel idea to stop slow play and I remind you of my new Winter Coaching incentives. Enjoy the read!

Is slow play coming to an end?

The Rules of Golf are undergoing dramatic change at the moment as the R&A and USGA – golf’s two governing bodies – look to bring the game inline with today’s needs. Their Rules Modernisation initiative includes several updates that’ll hopefully bring about a faster speed of play and shorter rounds of golf; no one wants to be taking 4+ hours to play 18 holes.

Well now the European Tour want to do their bit and to be fair to them, they’ve been at the forefront of modernising golf with innovative events such as Super 6 and GolfSixes. This week they’ve introduced a new event onto the 2018 calendar – the 2018 Shot Clock Masters. As the name suggests, players will have a strict 40-second shot clock on each stroke in an aim to cut round time by at least 45 minutes. The punishment if they take too long? A one-stroke penalty.

Will it work? Let us know your thoughts.

Winter coaching offer

Last week we mentioned the winter packages available. The unlimited offer was snapped up by 3 golfers within 24 hours, so as this offer is limited to 5 people, only 2 spots remain. The Fore in 1 offer showed a lot of interest as well, but below are some more winter offers which will be available all the way up to Christmas.

Christmas is coming

With Christmas less than 60 days away I thought it would be a great idea to plant a few seeds for you to think about. We have some great items in store and also still to come in. Also, as part of Foremost Golf the Uk’s largest golf buying group, we have access to lots of different products that we may not stock.

We can order them for you or you can go online and use ‘Click and Collect’, which you can access by clicking here.

One gift no golfer should be without is a DMD (distance measuring device) either a GPS or Laser. Any purchase of one of these up until Christmas will come with a FREE Gapping session, because let’s be honest - what’s the point in owning one if you don’t know how far you hit the ball with each club?
