If you are like us in the pro shop, January is the time to remove the indulgences of the Christmas period from your waistline and improve your fitness. 

Golf is one of the ideal ways to burn off those calories, you can lose up to 1500cals from a round of golf and that steady 3-4 hour country walk is the ideal long slow burn that can really keep the weight down and off. But we may have one more option for you if you fancy taking it to another level; speed golf! 

Leyon and I are keen to enter an event or even host own qualifier? Let me know if you might want to give it a try. It will be a dusk type event as the best players take less than an hour to play 18 holes. 

The scoring is interesting too… Every minute is a point and every shot is a point so let's say you take 70 mins and go round in 80 your score is 150. So there is this tradeoff between taking your time and running as fast as you can and taking little time as possible over the shot. Check out this video of the 2015 SpeedGolf World Championships... What do you think, worth a go?




New 2017 equipment starting to drift in The New M2 and M1 range from TaylorMade lots of demo clubs to try as well as some new Titleist 917 drivers and Vokey wedges. 50 pairs of FootJoy shoes have landed too! 

2017 promises to be one of the most fascinating years in recent time. The world's top five golfers - Day, McIlroy, Johnson, Stenson and Spieth - are all major winners over the past couple of seasons as they continue to battle it out to be the world's best.

Hot on their heels is Japan's Matsuyama who had a quite phenomenal end to 2016 with four wins in his last five starts - the other being a runner-up finish. But one man who builds excitement even more than the aforementioned guys is Tiger Woods. The 41-year-old has already signed up to four events by end the end of February as he looks to continue his climb back up the rankings in his comeback season.

It's so hard to call what's going to happen this year, but be sure to watch our video of the week below as we preview potential storylines of 2017 in the golfing world.
