Titleist Discounts Premium Clubs

Acushnet’s TSR drivers, woods, and hybrids have dropped in price, with drivers now $549 (a $150 discount) and fairways and hybrids $50 off. This move is believed to be a response to TaylorMade’s new Stealth 2 range. Despite positive feedback on the TSR range, TaylorMade’s new models have intensified competition in the driver market. Callaway’s Rogue ST drivers remain at their original prices, while Cobra has introduced the new AeroJet range. Titleist’s discount positions their drivers competitively in the premium sector ahead of the golf season.

Shane Lowry’s advice for pro-am partners is good for every golfer

Northern Ireland golfer Shane Lowry, the reigning Open champion, said it is important for “pro-am partners to be prepared and ensure they can hit it far enough.” “It is very hard to play good golf when you are only hitting it short distances, but they should also know their limitations.” Other advice includes wearing comfortable shoes, playing to their handicap, and not being afraid to ask for help from the pro. Lowry said: “Everybody wants to have a good time at a pro-am and play well. A lot of partners I play with are nervous and tense, and the most help I can give them is to try and make them comfortable, and that helps them to relax, which allows them to enjoy it more and probably play better.”

Rory McIlroy had a lot to say about his Pinehurst collapse

Rory McIlroy’s Pinehurst collapse was a major talking point after the US Open. The Northern Irishman was in contention for the title heading into the final round but shot a disastrous 80 to finish tied for 15th.

McIlroy admitted that he was “very disappointed” with his performance and that he had “a lot of questions” about what had gone wrong, the Telegraph reported.

“I felt like I was playing well all week and I just didn’t get it done on Sunday,” McIlroy said. “I made too many mistakes and I didn’t hit the ball as well as I needed to.”

McIlroy said that he would be taking some time to reflect on his performance and try to learn from his mistakes.

“I’m going to take a few days off and then I’ll start to think about what I need to do to improve,” McIlroy said. “I know that I can play better than I did on Sunday and I’m determined to get back to my best.”

Which short-game shot is better to master: Chipping or pitching?

Which short-game shot is better to master: Chipping or pitching?

Chipping vs. Pitching: Which Shot to Master?

While both chipping and pitching are essential short-game shots, each has its advantages and is better suited for certain situations:

  • Chipping: A lower, shorter shot that travels just a few yards, is ideal for getting the ball up and down quickly around the green. It is often used from tight lies and when the green is firm.

  • Pitching: A higher, longer shot that can carry up to 50 yards, is more versatile and allows for more control over distance and trajectory. However, it requires a longer, fuller swing and can be more challenging from uneven lies.

Determining which shot to master depends on your individual playing style, course conditions, and the specific situation. A well-rounded golfer should be proficient in both chipping and pitching. Practicing both shots regularly is crucial to improve your short-game proficiency.
