Pro's news

40 years later…

If someone were to ask you to name the first caddie that popped into your head – or the name of any caddie for that matter – our money is on Steve Williams. Are we right?

It’s not surprising given the fact he was on the bag of a certain Tiger Woods during his supreme dominance between 1999 and 2011, not to mention winning the Masters again with Adam Scott thereafter. Well, in a recent interview, the New Zealander confirmed that he “absolutely” plans to stop caddying in 2018, rounding off a fruitful 40-year career at the top of the game.

This makes us wonder: How important do you think a caddie is? How influential is a caddie on a professional’s ability to play their best golf?

Let us know your thoughts.

Gift ideas from Motocaddy

As we said last week, we know that over 70% of you use some sort of trolley to transport your clubs around the course, with many of you opting for an electric trolley. If you haven't done so already, why not consider asking for one of these Motocaddy accessories for Christmas this year?

Deluxe trolley mittens

Deluxe trolley mittens

Designed to fit any Motocaddy trolley, this gift provides maximum warmth and improves your trolley control through the winter’s coldest conditions. The fleece-lined mittens securely fit to the handle and also allow for both left and right-handed use.

Hedgehog winter wheels

Struggling to control your trolley and seeing it spit up mud all over your clothes can put a downer on winter golf, so consider the gift of these durable winter wheels, which reduce turf drag in wet ground conditions so your trolley doesn’t skid and dig up the course.

Deluxe seat

Deluxe seat

A gift that will keep on giving all year round is that of your own personal seat! Easy to fit, this comfortable padded seat has spacious internal storage and allows you to take the strain off your feet while you’re waiting for the group in front.

So many options

When it comes to golfing accessories, a GPS device should definitely be high up your priority list as they really do take away a lot of the guess work during a round. Garmin have several great options in their current range, including both handheld devices and wearables.

Approach G30 handheld
Approach G30
Approach S20 watch
Approach S20
Approach G8 handheld
Approach G8

There are many ways a GPS device will help improve your scores. All three of these Garmin devices provide accurate distances to the green, plus yardages to key hazards, giving you the knowledge you need to make safer shot decisions so you avoid making big scores.

Having your yardages ready each time will also help speed up play, while you can use the handheld units’ colour hole maps to guide you on blind holes when playing new courses.

So with both handheld and wearable options available at a range of prices, now could be the ideal time to suggest that perfect Christmas present.

Which type of wedge suits you?

Cleveland's CBX wedge brings about a whole new way to look at your short game.

The vast majority of wedges today are bladed and Cleveland's RTX-3 wedge is a perfect example. However, 84% of golfers use cavity back irons which are ultimately more forgiving than bladed irons, so Cleveland has brought to market a cavity back wedge that delivers remarkable spin and control around the greens whilst remaining highly forgiving for the golfer who uses cavity back irons.

The only question left is: which type of wedge suits you better?
