It’s here: Masters week.
Some of you may have already had your Augusta fix if you watched any of the final round from the Augusta National Women’s Amateur over the weekend, but it’s not too long to wait for the rest of us.
The buzz around the club in recent weeks has been growing and you get a real sense that the anticipation of this year’s Masters is like no other. Will Rory complete the Grand Slam?
Will Tiger win his 15th major?
Could Spieth regain his form at a course he loves? With so many possible storylines catching our imagination, all that’s left is for you to keep your diaries free on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening to enjoy what promises to be one of the best majors in recent years. Until the coverage starts, scroll down to view our Video of the Week and enjoy some of our favourite moments from recent years at Augusta National. |
A driver is a powerful beast, sometimes too powerful if a hole has a hazard within range. In this scenario, you have a plethero of options to choose from, but there is one that is often overlooked. |
Picture the scene You're stood on a par-4 tee box and there’s a water hazard 240 yards away. What do you do? Many of you will reach for your longest iron on auto-pilot, however a custom-fitted fairway wood might just be the perfect solution; getting you further down the hole and closer to the green. |  |
|
Why is this often overlooked? A lot of golfers don't have confidence in hitting their fairway wood because, quite simply, they don't use it enough. But with technology to help you hit them better - such as the Spin Control System in Lynx's Black Cat fairway wood that offers fantastic control and trajectory - it's time you gave them another go. |
Custom fitting is key We're delighted to see so many of you come to us for a custom fit when you're after a new driver or set of irons, but why does it stop there? A custom fitting is so important in ensuring you get the most from any new purchase, whether that's a driver, fairway wood or putter. |
