Make 2018 your best year yet

After Justin Thomas’ FedEx Cup triumph back in September, he showed the media a list of his goals for the 2017 season and it's safe to say he pretty much nailed all of them. How did your game hold up this year? Did you manage to achieve what you set out to?

Coaching 1

Want to improve next year?

Regardless of how your game fared in 2017, everyone wants to improve and now is when the hard work should begin. The best time to work on your game is over the winter so that any swing changes we make will hopefully feel natural in time for the new season in the spring.

Coaching 2

Our professional team offers a wide range of coaching services, from group and individual swing lessons to quick short game fixes and on-course strategy sessions. So if you want to play your best golf in 2018, please get in touch with us below and we can talk through your goals and the ways we can help you to achieve them.

How many do you carry?

Some people like to load the top end of their bag with a driving iron or a couple of hybrids, whereas we know others prefer to give themselves more options at the bottom end, carrying several wedges to cover different yardages and shot types. Which one are you?

Crunch the numbers

As the chart above helps highlight, when you break down the number of shots you hit with various clubs during a round, it’s clear to see why your wedges are so important. Giving yourself more options in this area will ensure that you’re covered for every scenario and distance.

So if you currently find yourself making inconsistent swings when stuck between clubs, do drop by and take a look at our latest wedges, like the Mizuno S18 here.
