We didn't see that one coming
The hype surrounding last week's PGA Tour event at Torrey Pines was far bigger than usual, mainly due to Tiger's return to a familiar hunting ground where he has dominated in the past. He was grouped with Jason Day and Dustin Johnson for the opening rounds so to say this was a marquee group would be an understatement.
It is often said that playing alongside someone who is playing well can benefit your game and vice versa, and this was certainly the case last week as all three golfers missed the cut after 36 holes. Leading the way going into the weekend was Englishman Justin Rose, only to succumb to Spain's Jon Rahm who secured his maiden PGA Tour title by nailing a 60 foot putt for eagle on the final green. Talk about keeping your nerve under pressure.
We'll be on Tiger watch over the next few weeks so keep checking our newsletters to find out how he got on. In the meantime, make sure you dust off your clubs and take to the course. When you do, pop your head in the shop and take a look at all of the new stock that has started to arrive.

This season we have signed up with FootJoy as a Shoe Fitting Specialist. An incredible statistic tells us that 70% of golfers are wearing the wrong size shoes? In testing it has been shown that there is a 6-21% increase in performance by simply wearing properly fitted shoes.
It is going to be very interesting fitting shoes and finding out the correct fit for each golfer. FootJoy even give the option of having different sized left and right shoes via their MyJoys program.
U.S Tour Pro Steve Stricker wears uneven pairs through the MyJoy program as his left foot is an 11 medium fit and his right is a 12 narrow fit.
