Hello golfers,

Welcome to the latest edition of our weekly newsletter. This week's email recaps a one-sided match between GB&I and the United States, we take a look at a simple way to bridge the gap between your long irons and woods, whilst our video of the week focuses on Rickie Fowler's warm-up routine - how similar is yours to his? Enjoy the read.

The next generation of stars

The Walker Cup is a fiercely contested match between the best amateur golfers from GB&I and the United States, consisting of foursomes and singles matches across two days. The 2017 contest took place over the weekend and the end result was a convincing win for the American team, rectifying their biggest ever loss in 2015.

It’s a fantastic chance to see some of the upcoming stars of our game and is certainly a good indicator of future Ryder Cup players. For example, 2007’s match saw McIlroy, Dustin Johnson, Danny Willett and Rickie Fowler compete for their respective countries, whilst Jordan Spieth defeated Andy Sullivan in 2011’s final singles. If you go even further back you’ll find that the likes of McDowell, Casey and a certain Tiger Woods have all featured in years gone by.

Will any of 2017’s crop make the transition from top amateur to world beater like some of the guys above? Only time will tell...

Do you know how far you hit your clubs?

How many of you have purchased some kind of GPS distance finder or laser over the last few years? I’m guessing the answer is quite a few, but how many of you, hand on heart, actually know how far you hit all your clubs? I’m guessing the answer is not many as, according to a recent study, the majority of golfers surveyed said they guess their yardages.

If this sounds like you, don’t worry as we can help you find out exactly how far you hit all the clubs in your bag by conducting a gapping session.
