Max enjoyment at Riviera

With Fitzpatrick and DJ both in Sunday's final group within touching distance of leader Burns, you could be forgiven to assume the winner is nailed-on to be from that stellar three-ball.

Well, it was a close contest with a two-hole playoff needed to decide the eventual champion; however, none of these players took part. Instead, Max Homa - who missed a three-footer to win on his 72nd hole - battled Tony Finau at Riviera Country Club, with Homa coming out on top.

It just goes to show the importance of putting. So, if your putting is a part of your game that you simply can't trust when the pressure's on, get in touch with the team via the button here.

All chips, no yips

How many hours have you spent hitting wedges in the back garden or around the house during the past 12 months? It can be fun, therapeutic and should help your game (if you’re doing it properly!). But you might be wondering why you’re not a short-game wizard after the last year or so. Perhaps, in this case, a worker can really blame their tools.

TaylorMade Hi-Toe Raw wedges

A return to golf is on the horizon, so we want to make sure you’re geared up with the right equipment to get off to a fast start. When it comes to your wedges, ensuring your grooves are still up to the task can get you closer to the flagstick, and they don’t come any better than TaylorMade’s full-face Hi-Toe Raw wedges.

Hi-Toe's full-face grooves

Thick-thin engineering allows them to thin out the topline and redistribute weight for more precision, but it’s the radically-unique full-face scoring lines that has everybody talking: Grooves across the entire face. When you hit a high-lofted shot or play out the bunker, these grooves give you more contact and spin as the ball glides across the face.

Putting perfect

Picture the scene: You’re playing your first hole after being forced not to play for what seems like ages. What’s the last thing you want to do? Three-putt, right? Especially when it’s a three-putt bogey! So, let’s focus on how we can eradicate that from our game.

Just landed - Odyssey White Hot OG putters

For starters, don’t overlook the role confidence plays when it comes to holing out, whether it’s a 30-foot lag putt or a must-make 3-footer.

Much like in the garden, I’m sure many of you have been practising putting around the house. Can you honestly say, after that practice, that you trust your putter time after time, or is now the perfect time for a change?

If it’s the latter, look no further than Odyssey’s all-new White Hot OG range.

Their heralded White Hot insert has been a long-standing fan-favourite thanks to the incredible feel & consistent performance. Well, Odyssey has merged this tried-and-trusted putting formula with modern technologies for all-time great performance on the greens in 2021.

Product spotlight

Brand new - Titleist TSi hybrids

Out of all the products that have already been launched in 2021, this is one of our favourites.

Why? Well, anything that makes this devilishly tricky game easier is a good thing in our books!

Titleist released the new TSi woods late last year and this range of hybrids (TSi1, TSi2 and TSi3) are an extension to that family. And, as you can see from the image, all three models are significantly different in shape and size.

Visit our website to find out more.
