It's not just about hitting the green…

If you really want to lower your scores this year it's important that you don’t just settle for hitting the green, but instead focus on hitting the right part to avoid three-putt territory. This will be a key consideration for the pros at Royal Birkdale this week, just take the 17th green for example:

THREE-PUTT TERRITORY

While aiming for the middle of the green is usually a safe bet, if the flag is on a tier an approach to the wrong level (red zone above) will often lead to a three putt.

TRUST YOUR CLUBS

Having faith in your clubs and knowing their yardages allows you to be confident and aggressive when you need to go at a flag that is hidden by a hazard or tier (green zone above).

CUSTOM FITTING WITH WILSON STAFF

One way to enhance your confidence and learn all your yardages is to have a fitting session with a member of our team.

If you’ve not upgraded in a while, you’ll also notice that new sets like the Wilson Staff D300 irons can offer a lot more distance and forgiveness in a relatively small head, helping your mishits fly much straighter.

Come and speak to a member of the team next time you're at the club or get in touch via the button below.

Playing a new course isn't easy

A lot of golfers get excited about going to play at new courses - whether that's in club matches, invitation days or just a game with friends - but usually they go ill-prepared and find themselves struggling when it comes to judging new holes and hidden hazards. Take the below illustration for example:

A GARMIN GPS DEVICE CAN HELP

When you tackle a new course it can be very tough to gauge how far you have to hazards and to greens that sit above or below the fairway, which is why it's often difficult to play to your handicap.

However, with a GPS golf watch like the Garmin Approach S60, you can have a caddie on your wrist that identifies trouble via large colour maps on its touchscreen display.

It also delivers precise green and lay-up yardages for over 40,000 courses worldwide and you can get distances to any point on the course using Touch Targeting.
