Hello Golfers,

We hope you enjoyed the first Major of 2020. What an event!

Enjoy the read.

Golf on Tour

The wait was worth it

The long wait for a Major was worth it. What an incredible PGA Championship we saw at TPC Harding Park!

A highly-competitive tournament saw everybody from rising stars to relative unknowns and, of course, Brooks Koepka all have a pop at the Wanamaker Trophy. In the end, it was rising star Collin Morikawa who came out on top.

Usually, pars are enough when you hold the lead on Sunday at a Major, but not this time. A six-under 64, including a chip-in birdie on 14 and an eagle on the 16th, took Morikawa to -13 for the week to claim an incredible victory aged 23 and in just his second Major start.

We had a poll on our website last week that asked who was most likely to dominate golf over the next decade. Jon Rahm was by far the favourite - he's back to World Number One now - followed by Koepka and then Justin Thomas. The egg is certainly on our face for not including Morikawa in our list! Maybe next time…

It might not be your fault...

Throughout any round of golf, we will hit some shots offline. Golf is not a game that can be perfected after all. But what if some of those bad shots could be prevented? It could well be down to your irons and their loft & lies which - did you know - change over time and use, especially with forged irons.

We can check all your irons loft & lies here on-site for £2.50 per club, allowing you to be confident in your lofts improving your distance control and that your lies are the same throughout your set, increasing your approach play accuracy.

#468FCD ;text-align:left">The importance of being fitted

Everyone would like to be told they’re a ‘great iron player’, but you’re making it a lot harder for yourself if you don’t have irons that are matched-up to get the best out of your swing.

All of the world’s best golfers get their equipment regularly tweaked on Tour – you’ve probably seen each brand’s tour van sitting alongside the range when watching golf on TV – which goes to show just how important it is.

We have a fantastic set-up at Bleadon Hill Golf Course that will make the fitting experience a really enjoyable one for you. One of the brands you can try is Callaway, who have a brilliant iron model called Apex, which offers playability in a Tour-preferred shape that you’re going to love.

Think you're not good enough to be fitted?

The number of golfers who have not been fitted for their irons is far higher than it should be. We often hear golfers say they’re not good enough to get custom fitted, but we are here to dispel that myth and explain why getting fitted WILL improve your iron play.

Consistency is critical in your iron play and being fitted for your irons will give you this, plus improve your accuracy and make any errors less extreme.

There are so many factors that influence our ability to strike the ball better and hit the ball where we want it to go. One thing you may not have tried before is Callaway’s Mavrik irons, which feature a Standard, Max and Pro model within the range.

It’s well worth giving these a try, which is something you can do with us down at Bleadon Hill Golf Course. You can also see more about the irons on our website by clicking the button below.

Sink more short putts

Think back to your last round and ask yourself this question: How many shots would I have saved if I holed every putt inside 10-feet? The answer, I bet, is a lot. We all dream of holing those 30-footers, but the short-putts are the most important.

Odyssey Putters

Holing from inside 10-feet is all about being comfortable and confident in your putting stroke. With a one-to-one lesson, we can help you master your own putting stroke and become much more clinical from close-range.

When it comes to the putter itself, do you prefer blades or mallets? Face-balanced or toe-hang? The good news is that Odyssey has something for everybody. The even better news is that we can help you find the perfect putter for your game.
