The recent lockdown had been very difficult for all of us. We are all clinging to the hope that some restrictions may be lifted or eased a little on the 5th May, particularly those of us from the golfing community. Golf was one of the last activities to stop when the full scale lockdown came into place and by logic we are hoping it will be one of the first activities to be lifted.

Izzo have launched their latest handheld GPS unit, the Swami 6000. The new 6000 is a simple to use GPS unit whilst maintaining its value for money price tag. There have also been a number of improvements on the GPS functionality. Izzo have a reputation for designing simple, straightforward, easy to use devices and they have built on that whilst adding some useful tools and info.

There are very few of us who naturally pick up a golf club for the first time and hit it miles down the fairway! Golf like any other pursuit takes a little bit of time and patience. If you think back to when you started learning how to drive a car you probably didn’t drive like you do today!

There is only one name that comes to mind when writing our latest instalment of the Legend Series and that is The King, Arnold Palmer. The word legend can sometimes be overused or referred to somebody in passing; however this cannot be said of Arnold Palmer who really is a true golfing legend.

As golf was part of the Olympics this year the golfing schedule was amended resulting in the Ryder Cup being played slightly later in the year and the British Open and USPGA being played within two weeks of each other in July.

The new Wilson Staff Dry Tech Cart Bag has a similar design and look to the Ogio Aquatech Cart Bag. We stocked the Aquatech Cart bag back in 2014 and it proved to be a popular bag, so much so that it was one of the first bags in the Ogio range to sell out that year.

A lot of people ask us in the shop what are the main differences between the Skymax Cube and Skymax Qwik Fold trolleys. We thought it would be a good idea to write a review comparing both trolleys and outlining the benefits of both.

Buying your child, grandchild, niece or nephew their first set of golf clubs is a fantastic gift as golf is one of the few sports that can be played from 4 to 84! Getting them started on the right track with the right set of clubs is half the battle.

The Swami Sport golf GPS from Izzo is simple to use, fast and very effective, in other words it does exactly what it says on the tin. The Swami is nice and compact measuring only 80mm x 60mm (at its widest point) and weighing 59 grams.

The build up to the first major of the year is at a fever pitch and it’s the majors that mean the most to the players. Ultimately at the end of a player’s career they are judged by how many major wins they accumulated. To this day there are many column inches dedicated to whether Tiger will overhaul Jack’s haul of 18.
