Jonny’s Your Golf Travel trip

Jonny has been away this week for 3 days to PGA Catalunya near Barcelona. He was chosen by Foremost to represent the South of England with Your Golf Travel. He played The Stadium and Tour course and was asked to review the hotel complex and courses.

“The facilities were all easily accessible and were top class. The courses host the European Tour Q School and were in stunning condition, but with a range of tee selection all levels of golfers can enjoy them.

This complex may have to feature on our Links Pro Shop Matchplay Tour. A big thank you to the guys at Your Golf Travel for hosting me and I would recommend them to anyone thinking of booking a golf trip in the future, they have everything covered.”

If you want to know more about the trip, contact Jonny here.

Urethane cover? So what...

A common phrase we hear here in the shop is: “It’s round and white, it can’t be that different”. The truth is that every single golf ball is unique in some way – whether it’s the ball’s core, layers or dimple pattern – but there is one thing that all premium balls have in common…

Try Urethane with the Z-Star and Z-Star XV
Like all tour-level golf balls, the Srixon Z-Star and Z-Star XV boast a Urethane cover, which sets the bar for cover materials.

Urethane – a soft and flexible polymer – will give you the highest possible spin rates combined with the best feel; benefits you will really notice when hitting chip and pitch shots.

However, if you like to play lower flighted chip-and-runs you might prefer other options in Srixon’s range that are made with Ionomer covers. While this type of cover doesn’t generate as much spin, it is slightly more durable and offers a cheaper alternative.

As you can see on these 50-yard pitch shots, the extra spin from the Urethane cover ball on the right helps it to stop much quicker than the Ionomer cover ball on the left, which rolls out on landing.

Motocaddy: S or M?

Buying an electric trolley is a serious purchase, so it pays to speak to a member of our team about which option would best suit your needs and preferences. To help set you on your way, here’s a breakdown of the key differences between Motocaddy’s S and M series:

M-Series

S-Series

Which trolley is best for you?
The fundamental difference between these two popular ranges is that the Motocaddy M-Series folds 40% smaller, making it the perfect choice for anyone who has space restrictions such as a smaller boot. That being said, the Motocaddy S-Series models offer some smart technology options, like GPS yardages in the S5 CONNECT model and remote control functionality in the S7 REMOTE trolley.
