Hello golfers,

In this week’s email, we cast our eye over an essential item for golf this year, we give you a run down of some of your driver options for 2018, and we review what was almost a magical round for Ted Potter Jr.

Enjoy the read.

We can look at the following areas:

• Loft and Lie Check on all irons
• Grip Check
• Spike check
• Distance check with wedges 
• Swing Check
  

59 watch. Again.

How do these guys manage it? Each week we see tour golfers shooting mid-to-low 60s, with a round in the high 60s seeming to be a disappointment for some. It’s incredible to think that these scores are the norm as us mere mortals struggle to get it around 18 holes without running out of golf balls, let alone carding a sub-70 round with such regularity.

Last week it was Ted Potter Jr’s turn to flirt with a 59. Starting on the back nine, the American was seven under through his opening seven holes and stood on the 16th tee 11-under-par for the day. All cameras were pointing in his direction, needing just one birdie on his final three holes to shoot the magic number but, unfortunately, he came up agonisingly short with two bogeys to sign for a 62.
