Video Reviews In Golf - Yes Or No?

The R&A and USGA have recently issued a new Decision on the Rules of Golf to limit the use of video evidence in the game, with immediate effect. This refers to evidence that could not be seen with the 'naked eye' as well as when players use their 'reasonable judgement' when applying the rules.

All of this comes after Lexi Thompson was penalised four strokes in a recent major after a TV viewer contacted the LPGA to inform them that Lexi hadn't correctly replaced her ball on the putting green the previous day. Thompson was two clear when handed the four-shot penalty on the 12th hole in her final round, eventually going on to lose in a playoff.

The use of video technology has been fully embraced in several sports, with the likes of tennis and cricket utilising everything that's on offer. But when it comes to people at home calling in and affecting the outcome of an event, is that a step too far?

Get into Golf

The Get into Golf coaching lessons which took place here at East Devon last weekend were a huge success. We had a really good turn out which is great for our sport and it's good to see the new beginners wanting to carry on learning how to play the game as many have booked lessons which kick off next week.

I'd like to give a personal thanks to my assistant Andrew for his great help on the day. 

Don't forget you can still get into golf at anytime and if you would like to book a lesson feel free to do so by clicking here.

Complete Equipment Solution

We want to make buying new equipment from us an enjoyable process, one which leads to you playing better golf in the long run. This is why we've teamed up with PING to offer you the Complete Equipment Solution throughout April to June. 

How does a FREE custom fitting and FREE lesson sound? 

It's so important for golfers of all abilities - particularly amateurs, who have far more to gain - to get custom fitted, as opposed to leaving it to chance, like you'd be doing if you bought standard spec clubs straight off the shelf. 

You really have nothing to lose. We will help you to get the most out of any new equipment through a thorough custom fitting process before you buy, followed by a lesson to see you on your way. 

Come and speak to us in-store if you're interested, but remember this offer is only available until the end of June.

With seven options for you to choose from in Srixon’s range, you’re bound to find a ball which suits your game. Right now you can order a dozen balls with your own bespoke message on, ideal if you want your ball to stand out from your playing partners.
