The start of the golfing season is here

As you know, each month we run a poll on our website to get your views on the latest golfing stories or upcoming events.

Last month we asked you to vote on who you think would win this week's Masters and it was the most answered poll we've ever run, so thank you.

There were only a few votes between the top two answers, with 'A.N. Other' just beating in-form Dustin Johnson to the top of the poll. It's not surprising that the world number one is right up there as one of your favourites with just under 25% of the votes considering he's won his last three events, with Rory McIlroy leading the British charge with over 20% of you voting for him.

The Masters signals the start of the golfing season for many golfers, meaning it's time to dust off those golf clubs and come down the club for a bit of practice or a few holes. How else will you play like the pros this season? Enjoy the weekend's viewing, and in the meantime why not have a look at April's poll on our website?

Off The Shelf Vs Custom Fit

I have spoken many times within my newsletter about the importance of being custom fitted for clubs and the huge benefits this has given, and can give, many of you. With gains of over 30 yards achieved this year in distance and huge improvements in dispersion (how straight you hit it!).

So, hopefully, you now know why you should be custom fitted, but what actually differs when being fitted compared to an 'off the shelf set'?

Please see below everything we can alter in a set of irons to customise them to you, your game and your swing. 

• Loft - to make sure you are achieving optimised launch angle with each club
• Lie (the angle between shaft and club head) - to make sure the leading edge/bottom of the club come square through the ground
• Length - customised to your height, wrist to floor measurement and your swing type
• Grip Size- customised to your hand size and finger length
• Grip Material - Multi Compound, corded or rubber to match your preference
• Shaft Material and Flex - to match your swing to maximise performance
• Manufacturer's Model - Mizuno, TaylorMade, PING or Titleist

What are the chances every one of the above factors will be standard (as off the shelf clubs are) for you? And, even if one or two are, how would you know if you haven't been custom fitted? 

If you are thinking about new clubs then take the first step today, click here to ask any questions or to book a custom fitting.
