Welcome to another edition of our newsletter.
This week we couldn’t ignore touching on the R&A and USGA’s eagerly awaited Distance Insight Report which is a summary of golf governing bodies' stance on the sports distance problem. On a lighter note, we also look at some of the latest golf shoes available through us as well as include our regular features. So, take five minutes, grab a coffee and have a look through.
Enjoy the read.

A little throwback
To celebrate my 40 years, I've also dug out several pictures from the early 80's at AGC. Check out the cars in the background! Does anyone know the golfer getting some attention to his grip?
There's a prize waiting for the first correct answer! Let us know who you think it is here! |

Breakaway league In a bid to combat a packed global schedule, the World Golf Group outlined a proposal that would bring together 48 of the best players in the world in an 18-event season with a total prize pool of £183 million. Already Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson have been approached about joining the Premier Golf League as it is being called although it is important to note that the league is nothing to do with either the PGA or European Tour’s with both making it clear that players would have to choose between one or the other. Could we be about to see a divide at the top of the game?

A recent golf survey highlighted some very interesting statistics regarding golfers' habits and their equipment, two of which you can see in the image below. |
These stats might not mean a lot to you at face value, but the general recommendation is that you change your grips once a year, especially if you play regular golf. The truth is, grips lose their efficiency over time and when they do we end up gripping the club too tightly, which restricts our ability to swing the club freely. Just something for you to think about... |  |
|
It's not only important that your grips are regularly replaced, but you need to ensure you get the correct sized grips. Our FREE grip fitting promotion has just started in-store and we recommend everyone giving it a try. Call us on 01942 724229 to take advantage. |
