Pro's news

PGA Championships 2018

What a few years the big-hitting American is having. Since making his debut in the 2016 Ryder Cup, where he won three out of a possible four points, Brooks has secured three Major championships, including back-to-back U.S. Opens and last week’s PGA Championship.

Koepka took a two-shot lead into Sunday’s final round and couldn’t have dreamt for a better start; booming a 325-yard drive down the fairway before hitting his approach to six-foot for an opening birdie. A little wobble in the middle of his front nine was quickly addressed with birdies on seven, eight and nine, at which point a certain Tiger Woods was making a charge.

But Koepka showed his quality by shooting a flawless two-under-par back nine, holding off challenges from Woods, Scott and Thomas to claim his third Major title in his last six Major starts. I was lucky enough to be in St.Louis for this year's PGA Championship and I must say the crowds were fantastic.

There’s always a real buzz surrounding golf's four biggest events, especially in a Ryder Cup year as we eagerly watch on to see who’ll make the respective teams come September, but Tiger’s challenge in last month’s Open Championship and last week’s PGA Championship has got golf back on the front pages once again. Maybe, just maybe, we're beginning to see Tiger getting back to his incredible best, which can only be a positive for the sport.

Here, there and everywhere

We are faced with a whole range of scenarios out on the course, some of which we practice regularly and others that we don’t. When you consider the different types of shots you hit around the greens, it really does highlight how versatile your wedges need to be.

Versatility is key
We ask a lot from our wedges, from opening up the face to hit high lob/flop shots to moving the ball back in our stance to play low flying pitches and everything in between. It’s therefore obvious that you should be playing something you’re comfortable with from any spot around the greens.

If you’re yet to find that wedge, come and try the Titleist Vokey SM7 here in the shop. It comes in lots of lofts so we can discuss your bag make-up, plus we can test the different sole grinds and bounces to see which ones best suit the shots you like to play.

And the award goes to...

Always trying to raise the bar on previous models isn’t an easy job, but it’s for this reason that technology has advanced considerably in the past few years. It means we’ve never been in a better position to help you enjoy your golf, from drivers right through to shoes.

Come and see what all the fuss is about
This award-winning Skechers GO GOLF Pro V3 shoe has been recognised for its affordability, style and lightweight comfort.

If you try these on you’ll immediately notice the cushioned Resamax insoles, as well as Skechers’ 5-Gen lightweight and responsive cushioning. There are also leather uppers and an air-mesh lining for breathability that you’ll enjoy.

We think it’s obvious why this shoe was selected as one of the best of the year, but to see if you agree, drop by the store.
