Hello Golfers,

We hope you're well.

Two dates for your diary: 29th March and 12th April!

It was great to hear the news that - amongst other things - playing golf has been given the green light from the 29th of March, just in time for the four-day Easter weekend! Not only this, but non-essential retail can open its doors just a couple of weeks later on the 12th of April. Hooray!

We can't wait to welcome you back to Stevenage Golf & Conference Centre and will have more news for you in the coming weeks. Until then, we are still here if there's anything golf-related you'd like to discuss or purchase - there's no reason to go anywhere else.

We really do appreciate your support!

Enjoy the read.

Golf on Tour

Max enjoyment at Riviera

With Fitzpatrick and DJ both in Sunday's final group within touching distance of leader Burns, you could be forgiven to assume the winner is nailed-on to be from that stellar three-ball.

Well, it was a close contest with a two-hole playoff needed to decide the eventual champion; however, none of these players took part. Instead, Max Homa - who missed a three-footer to win on his 72nd hole - battled Tony Finau at Riviera Country Club, with Homa coming out on top.

It just goes to show the importance of putting. So, if your putting is a part of your game that you simply can't trust when the pressure's on, get in touch with the team via the button here.

All chips, no yips

How many hours have you spent hitting wedges in the back garden or around the house during the past 12 months? It can be fun, therapeutic and should help your game (if you’re doing it properly!). But you might be wondering why you’re not a short-game wizard after the last year or so. Perhaps, in this case, a worker can really blame their tools.

TaylorMade Hi-Toe Raw wedges

A return to golf is on the horizon, so we want to make sure you’re geared up with the right equipment to get off to a fast start. When it comes to your wedges, ensuring your grooves are still up to the task can get you closer to the flagstick, and they don’t come any better than TaylorMade’s full-face Hi-Toe Raw wedges.

Hi-Toe's full-face grooves

Thick-thin engineering allows them to thin out the topline and redistribute weight for more precision, but it’s the radically-unique full-face scoring lines that has everybody talking: Grooves across the entire face. When you hit a high-lofted shot or play out the bunker, these grooves give you more contact and spin as the ball glides across the face.

Putting perfect

Picture the scene: You’re playing your first hole after being forced not to play for what seems like ages. What’s the last thing you want to do? Three-putt, right? Especially when it’s a three-putt bogey! So, let’s focus on how we can eradicate that from our game.

Must try - Cleveland Frontline putters

For starters, don’t overlook the role confidence plays when it comes to holing out, whether it’s a 30-foot lag putt or a must-make 3-footer.

Much like in the garden, I’m sure many of you have been practising putting around the house. Can you honestly say, after that practice, that you trust your putter time after time, or is now the perfect time for a change?

If it’s the latter, look no further than Cleveland’s stunning Frontline range.

Using Forward Tungsten Weighting, Cleveland can position the centre of gravity closer to the face and give you plenty of stability through impact. Plus, its Speed Optimised Face produces a more consistent speed for better distance control with every putt you hit.

Whether you're the type of golfer who upgrades their driver each year or you have one in the bag from decades back, you need to see just how good the new Epic range is from Callaway! Wow.

I hope you enjoyed this week's newsletter. As always, if you have anything that you'd like to contribute please speak to one of the pro shop team. I'll see you at the club over the coming days.
