Rory creates history

Rory McIlroy wrote his name into the history books once again by becoming the first European to win three World Golf Championship events with a first hole playoff victory over Xander Schauffele at the HSBC Champions in China.

The Northern Irishman executed his second shot to perfection under pressure on the par-5 18th to leave him able to seal the deal with a birdie whilst Schauffele could only manage par to hand Rory his fourth victory in 2019.

 

End of an era

For the first time since November 1993, Phil Mickelson’s name will not feature in the Official World Golf Ranking’s top 50.

A tie for 28th at the WGC-HSBC Champions meant the longest consecutive run inside the top fifty by anyone since the records began in 1986 came to a close.

Mickelson did not seem too perturbed though simply saying – “It was a good run, but I’ll be back".

It's a fair old way

We don’t mean to be gloomy but winter golf can be a little disheartening for several reasons, but none more so than hitting the ball considerably shorter than in summer. A combination of the ball not rolling out as much and it not flying as far through the air results in shorter drives and longer approach shots; so, what’s the best way to deal with it?

Winter vs Summer

First of all, we need to accept that we're going to have to go up a club or two during winter.

We will all find ourselves further back on the fairway than during peak season, which means that you might need to hit a fairway wood off the deck to reach the green.

Fairway woods have been designed to be a lot easier to hit than a decade ago. Take this beauty from Cobra as an example: it boasts Baffler rails (remember them?) to help it glide through the turf for an incredibly easy launch.

It can be a tricky shot to play but with the right hardware and technique, we'll have you hitting greens for fun this winter.

Spotlight | Skechers golf shoes

If we were to ask you what the most important feature of a golf shoe is, we bet the majority would say comfort.

Are we right?

No brand does comfort quite like Skechers and it's something that you'll enjoy straight out of the box - no 'wearing the shoes in' like yesteryear.

We stock a great selection of golf shoes in-store, including Skechers, so make sure you pop by to try a pair on the next time you're thinking about upgrading.
