82 not out

"As far as playing until 52, I hope that's the case.” – Tiger Woods

Back into the ring for the first time since knee surgery, Tiger Woods once again proved that class is permanent by equaling Sam Snead’s PGA Tour record of 82 wins with victory at the inaugural Zozo Championship.

A typhoon named Bualoi (which wiped out play on Friday) and the requirement for a fifth day couldn’t stop Tiger from dominating an impressive field in which he led home Matsuyama by three on 19-under-par.

Snead was 52 years old when he won his 82nd PGA Tour title and Tiger equalled it at 43 - impressive stuff!

Rain, rain go away

In 2018, only January saw more rainfall in the UK than November. Not the happiest of stats to highlight, but one that indicates we'll be experiencing a few downpours in the coming weeks, making a waterproof and spacious bag vital to tackle the unpredictable British weather.

PING Hoofer Monsoon Stand Bag

We know there are times when you want to walk a brisk nine and using a trolley can get in the way. Well, this stand bag is the perfect alternative as it'll protect your clubs from the elements whilst being incredibly lightweight as to not strain your body.

PING Pioneer Monsoon Cart Bag

But for the rounds you do use an electric trolley - and we know plenty of you love doing so - this spacious cart bag is a brilliant option. Eight seam-sealed pockets, 15-way divider and nifty cart strap channel, this is one of the best cart bags around.

Which do you prefer?

Golf apparel is famous for taking a bit of a knock from other sports and, in all honesty, in years gone by, it did deserve it. However, today’s golf-specific clothing often sets the tone for smart, high-performing sportswear that is versatile enough to be worn anywhere.

Spot the difference

If you've ever been to a fancy dress party, we're sure you would have seen someone dressed as a golfer from the 19th century - plus fours, knee length socks and flat caps.

It does look great and certainly results in a few giggles, but today's golf clothing couldn't be further away as Under Armour's stylish pieces for this winter show.

When it comes to polos, mid-layers and jackets, we have plenty of choice for you in the pro shop. Two of our favourite pieces are Under Armour’s Storm Playoff 2.0 pullover and the matching ColdGear Rush Mock, which you can see above. Click on the blue button below to explore the range or pop by the shop to try a few pieces on.

Spotlight | Callaway JAWS MD5 Wedges

What we love most about Callaway is that each time a new product comes out, it performs better than the one it replaces in the range - something we certainly noticed in the latest Mack Daddy wedges.

Last time out they introduced Groove-In-Groove Technology, which is proven to produce more spin on your wedge shots. Now, they've combined this with a JAWS groove design for even more spin around the greens!

We all know how important our short game is, so pop down the shop to give these a try.
