The Golf Team

Hello Golfers,

Welcome to our weekly newsletter.

The debate on slow play reared its ugly head once again over the weekend, as Edoardo Molinari tweeted a list of timings after playing a five-and-a-half-hour round at the European Tour’s Trophee Hassan II event.

Northern Irishman Graeme McDowell was quick to dismiss Molinari’s clear frustration, saying he is ‘flogging a dead horse’, claiming players can’t get around any quicker. But what do you think? Should the pros be leading by example in the hope that play quickens up at club level? Or should Molinari stop worrying about everyone else and focus on his own game?

Enjoy the read.

What's your routine?

Prior to any round of golf, it's important to warm up correctly to avoid injury and enable you to be at your peak ready for your opening tee slot. So, what do you do? We thought it wise to look at one or two ways you can help get yourself off to the best possible start.

Dynamic stretching
Next time you have a spare moment, Google Miguel Angel Jimenez’s warm-up routine prior to a round. The 55-year-old has the suppleness of someone half his age despite his clear love of fine wine and expensive cigars. The 21-time European Tour winner has perfected a dynamic stretch routine, which involves constant movement through each stretch action.

A few shots to loosen up
Nothing quite gets the eye in than hitting the ball. Start off with your wedge before moving up your bag to a few mid irons before getting the big gun out. Make sure you try to replicate your opening tee shot with the last few practice shots.

Chipping and putting
You play more shots with the putter than any other club so it makes complete sense to sink a few putts prior to your tee time. Not only will it help to boost your confidence, but hitting some longer putts will give you a sense of speed for that day.

Oh, for putts sake

Well played! You’re on the green in two, outside chance of a birdie, just knock it close and walk away with the perfect par. Only that isn’t always the case, is it? Three putts later and you’re walking to the next hole cursing, but it doesn’t have to be that way…

Introducing TaylorMade's Spider X putter

Confidence is key when it comes to putting better and the revolutionary Spider X putter will give you the feeling of making any putt you're faced with.

How so? I hear you ask...

Well, the answer lies in walking the path of true alignment (see what I did there?).

TaylorMade has added a thicker True Path Alignment line on the top of the putter (50% a golf ball width to be exact) to help golfers line up putts with amazing ease.

Plus, the addition of an updated Pure Roll insert promotes confidence through a better sound and feel straight off the putter face.

Lots of golfers are benefiting from custom fitted drivers and irons, but still neglect their putter.

As the most used club in your bag, surely improving your game begins with the very club you use to put the ball in the hole?
