Oxford Golf Club

Hello Golfers,

We hope you're safe and well.

In this week's newsletter, we're rolling back the years as we take a look at one of golf's most famous drivers of all time and compare it to today's equivalent. We'll be working our way through the bag over the next few weeks so be sure to keep an eye out for our weekly emails!

As always, if there's anything that tickles your fancy, reply to this email and we'll be happy to help.

Enjoy the read.

Golf on Tour

Bryson's dominance continues

Austin Ernst stormed to victory at the LPGA Drive On Championship, going wire-to-wire to finish on -15 and cruise past Jennifer Kupcho by five strokes, despite the 2019 Augusta National Women’s Amateur Champion’s 72nd hole eagle.

Meanwhile, Bryson DeChambeau was anything but cruising as Lee Westwood forced a straight shoot-out on Sunday at the Arnold Palmer Bay Hill Invitational. The American was victorious, though, thanks in part to driving 370+ yards over a lake on the par-5 sixth hole on both Saturday and Sunday. Talk about entertainment!

If you can drive 370 yards, you’re welcome to teach us! If not, however, you can get in touch with us via the button below to discuss how to improve your driving or any other part of your game.

The golfer's new clothes

You know what this time of year means... New styles! And if there was ever a golf season that we want to make the most of it's this one. What better way to kickstart a long-anticipated summer on the course than with a fresh look?

Our brand-new adidas clothing range

You can walk the course with confidence thanks to adidas’ super-stylish new threads. A multitude of mid-layers and polo shirts in a variety of styles are available through us.

On top of their incredibly smart looks, adidas is carrying out an ongoing mission to end plastic waste by making more and more of their clothes using recycled materials. Not only will you look good in any of the new spring-summer pieces, but you will also feel great about wearing them for years to come.

Then & now!

Whenever a brand new driver comes out, it’s hard to imagine things getting any better. There have been some incredible innovations in recent years and who’s to say where we’ll be in 15 years? Why don’t we take a deeper dive into how old drivers compare to the latest models?

PING drivers from 2006 vs. 2021

If we take PING drivers as an example, we can look at the 2006 G5 driver – a beloved figure on courses around the world in its heyday - compared to the various models in the brand-new PING G425 driver range. The G5 did give you a higher, more forgiving launch than most clubs at the time, and even came in an offset version to appeal to a wider range of golfers.

PING G425 drivers

Taking that to another level, the G425 comes in a Max (maximum MOI), LST (low-spin technology) & SFT (straight flight technology) models, meaning all players are catered for. The Max version is PING’s most forgiving driver ever; leaps & bounds beyond our old-favourite G5, whilst the LST is compact and adjustable for workable ball flights and the SFT is weighted to help fight the slice.

Brand new | FJ UltraFIT SL shoes

It's not long until the clocks spring forward, the temperatures rise a notch or two, and the serious club competitions get underway.

When this time comes, why not take to the course in a brand-new pair of shoes?

One of our favourite models this year has to be the UltraFIT SL shoe from FootJoy. Not only is it both waterproof and spikeless, but the Boa Lacing System will give you the perfect snug fit each time you slip them on!
