Holmes brings it home

J.B. Holmes had to master the cold and windy weather whilst navigating 33-holes of golf on a treacherous Sunday to win the Genesis Open over the weekend.

The tournament looked like it belonged to Ryder Cup star Justin Thomas after the American had built up a four-shot lead through 54-holes. Three bogeys in his first five holes soon wiped out Thomas’ advantage and let Holmes through to secure victory by a single shot - despite a brutal three-putt from inside four-feet at the 11th.

Rory McIlroy was on form once again with a top-five finish, whilst Tiger Woods produced the shot of the day when he holed his bunker try at the 16th to rapturous applause.

Holmes showed brilliant resilience to stay on top of his game and overcome the tricky conditions in California, something which we could all learn a thing or two from when the going gets tough. The mental side of the game might not be as glamorous as a textbook swing or new equipment, but is definitely just as important and shouldn't be overlooked if you want to lower your handicap in 2019.

Get a grip. Literally...

We all love new golf equipment – be it balls, clubs or shoes; there’s nothing like stepping out onto the course knowing that everything in your bag is in pristine condition. Except, for the majority of golfers, there’s always one thing which is often forgotten about...

How old are your grips?

Losing control during your swing?

If you pulled a club out of your bag now, what state would your grips be in?

You’ll probably notice that they’re at the very least losing some of the tackiness they once had or, in the worst cases, worn away so badly that they’re completely unrecognizable - a clear sign they need to be replaced.

The benefits to getting your clubs regripped are huge, and they can even improve your performance. Take the ALIGN grips from Golf Pride; these have a raised edge on the back (red part of grip seen here) to perfect your hand placement every time.

As you can see, we're currently running a promotion where you can get your 7-iron regripped for FREE; all you need to do is pop in-store and decide which of these grips you want to try out.

The winds of change

As we make our way through February, you may begin to notice feeling warmer at the end of a round compared to previous weeks. Yes, spring is well and truly on its way, and that means you’ll need to dress accordingly – after all, no-one wants the faff of continously putting on and taking off layers when searching for the ideal outfit.

The perfect layering piece

We present to you this incredibly warm Pro-Flex EVO jacket from ProQuip, which is also available as a stylish gilet.

Yes, it looks great and fits perfectly too - not too tight that you'll feel self-concious and restricted, but not too baggy that the butt of the club gets caught during the swing.

But our favourite feature is its quilted panels with Thinsulate lining, which is not only ultra lightweight but also provides cosy warmth throughout your round.

Spotlight: TaylorMade Spider X putter

If you're after a club that has been a true 'game-changer' then the Spider putter from TaylorMade certainly fits the bill.

Instantly recognisable by both its colour and innovative head shape, the new Spider X putter comes with the brand new True Path alignment and improved stability to help you line up your putts better, as well as offering fantastic forgiveness through impact.
