Further down the newsletter, we have a couple of fascinating articles that are definitely worth a few moments of your time, as well as a Video of the Week from the weekend's action.

Enjoy the read.

Guess who’s back?

Rewind to May 2018 when Francesco Molinari had just lifted the BMW PGA Championship; he was only two months away from his first Major victory (The Open, of course) and without doubt the golden boy of European golf.

At that very same time, Englishman Danny Willett was going through a dramatic loss of form that saw his World Ranking drop from ninth following his Green Jacket in 2016 to 462nd just after Molinari was finishing up his champagne on Wentworth’s eighteenth.

After going through a raft of changes to find a way back to golf's elite, two huge wins have followed in the last eleven months with the second of those on Sunday at the BMW PGA Championship. A final-round 67 enabled Willett to pull away from Jon Rahm (who he shared the overnight lead with) by closing out with birdie-birdie to win by three and make it seven Tour titles in the 31-year-old’s career.

Welcome back, Danny.

Quiz of the week

Not long left to have your say

Sorry if you're reading this having already completed our Customer Survey - which we know many of you have - but we'd love it if we could get a few more people to fill it out.

It involves answering a series of multiple-choice questions about your golf equipment, both what you currently use and what you'd be interested in using in the future.

Glide into action

Without further ado, let us introduce PING’s scintillating third generation Glide wedge and look at why it's such a good option to be putting in the scoring part of your bag.

PING Glide 3.0 wedges

PING told us that these wedges spin more than previous models, are more forgiving and feel incredibly soft off the face, and we have to agree with them on all three fronts.

They look stunning, they perform superbly and there are plenty of options available. All that's left to do now is to come and try them out yourself the next time you're down the club.

Winter is coming

Have you ever noticed how much harder you need to hit your putts in the winter compared to summer? As surfaces begin to slow due to longer grass and wetter greens, the need for a little extra effort on your putting stroke becomes clear.

Should you change your putter?

As putts need to be hit harder to get the ball going the same distance as they do in the summer months, using a heavier putter certainly won’t do you any harm.

The thought here is that a heavier putter will do more of the work for you, allowing for a smooth and more controlled putting stroke.

Whilst still being relatively lightweight compared to some putters in the range (Valor is 30g heavier), PING's Sigma 2 Wolverine putter is certainly an option we'd recommend you trying.

Come and see us in the pro shop and we'd be happy to help you find the perfect putter this autumn.
