Doesn't he look good?

There’s a well-known phrase: if you can’t beat them, join them. So while it’s unlikely you’ll be challenging for a Ryder Cup place later this year, why not join the world’s best in following the latest golf trends?

This stylish Galvin Green Dawson sweater has been getting a lot of attention in our shop. Like all of Galvin Green’s premium clothing, it’s designed specifically for golf with its Insula fabric creating effective and long-lasting thermal insulation with breathability, so you stay nice and warm but don’t overheat and sweat.

Spikeless or cleated?

Having the confidence to swing powerfully comes from knowing that you have a stable base, which requires footwear you can trust. There are two types of outsole on modern golf shoes – cleated and spikeless – and we stock a range of both here in the shop, including these two fantastic options.

Opt for off-course versatility
With spring finally on our doorstep it’s a great time of year to consider a pair of spikeless shoes. This Under Armour Performance SL model has a waterproof upper and, despite being spikeless, special rotational resistance traction elements deliver all the grip you need on and off the course.

Choose stability and traction
Get the tour look as well as fantastic grip and stability with this Under Armour Spieth 2 shoe. It’s been created with the help of Jordan Spieth and boasts Gore-Tex waterproof protection, lightweight underfoot cushioning and Rotational Resistance spikes that enhance stability and improve traction.

New: Scotty Cameron Select putters

When you choose to put a Scotty Cameron putter in the bag you know you're using one of the best offerings on the market, and in the new 2018 Select line, Titleist has focused on three main areas: sight, sound and sole.

Watch this video to find out exactly what goes into designing a Scotty Cameron Select putter and how they've been made even better for 2018.
