World of golf

It starts with a UK Swing

Since our last newsletter, Rory McIlroy – the number one ranked golfer in the world – has said he “had a hunch” that September’s Ryder Cup will be postponed.

Whilst no decision has been made, the European Tour has confirmed it'll be returning 'behind closed doors' in July. The first event will be the British Masters at Close House; the first of six consecutive tournaments on British soil.

Who knows, maybe by the time the second UK Swing comes around in October – Dunhill Links, Scottish Open and BMW PGA Championship – things may look a little different.

Let us know what you think by sending us a message here.

It's quiz time!

Golf's greatest comebacks

Everyone loves a comeback. Europe's remarkable victory in last year's Solheim Cup immediately springs to mind.

But, as much as we love watching it happen at the time, can you remember the details? Our monthly quiz for June will test your knowledge in this department.

If anything, it's a great excuse to relive some of golf's most memorable moments.

Good luck!

Thoughts for the course

Chipping is a fine art. It requires precision and skill, both of which may need sharpening after a few months away from the golf course. No shame in that! So, here are a couple of points to remember.

Landing Spots

Don’t focus on the hole. Instead, pick out a spot – a patch of grass on the green – to land your ball on. Consider how the slope and speed of the green, the lie of the ball and the club you choose may affect where the ball finishes after landing.

Practise makes perfect

When on the chipping green, place a towel on your landing spot (as seen in the above image) and take aim. As you get the hang of it, you can fold the towel to give yourself a smaller, more challenging target to work with.

Attacking the pin with a wedge shot is one of the most enjoyable components of a round of golf. It’s a chance to really make some magic happen, especially when it results in a tap-in birdie or par.

The choice is yours

Cleveland RTX 4 wedges

Be it a delicate flop shot or an aggressive, one-hop and stop pitch, we all love knocking it close to the flagstick. However, a great chip shot requires a great wedge.

Cleveland’s RTX 4 wedges boast Tour Zip Grooves, which provide the most precise, controlled spin Cleveland has ever developed. Plus, they're available in a vast array of loft & bounce combinations, with Tour Satin, Black Satin & Tour Raw finishes (pictured above) for you to choose from.

Carrying on from our story above, one of the great things about chipping is that there are so many different ways you can play a shot. From high-lofted flop shots to simple bump-and-runs, the choice is yours!
