Whats in the bag - JOEL SAUNDERS

Each week we will be showing you what clubs and why each one of our professional staff use.  This week is the Head Professionals.

Callaway Mavrik Sub Zero driver (heavy weight at the front to reduce spin) - 9 degrees (set at 10 degree draw) - AD DI 6 stiff flex

Callaway EPIC Flash 3 wood (set at draw) - Tensei white 70 X stiff

Callaway Apex 20 degree hybrid - AD DI 85 stiff flex

Callaway Apex UT 24 degree - catalyst 100 stiff flex

Callaway Apex Pro 19 5-PW - Modus 120 X shafts - 1 degree flat - +1/4 inch length - Plus 4 grip with 3 extra layers of tape

Callaway Jaws 5 50 degree - PM Grind 54 and 58 degree wedges - 2 degrees flat - standard length

LAB Golf Zero torque lie angle balanced putter - 1 degree flat - 34 inches

As you can see my set makeup is bespoke to me.  My tendencies vary from club to club and i need a set makeup to help. For example my bad shot with a driver is a high right shot (reason for the low spin draw setting head) and with my irons my miss is to the left (reason for having a flatter lie angle)

Click below and let us know what your set makeup is and why.

Golf on Tour

The UK Swing begins

The British Masters finally gave European Tour fans something to cheer. Whilst the Tour had technically resumed with a couple of weakened fields in Austria, this was the first ‘proper’ European Tour event since lockdown began all those months ago. Renato Paratore was the eventual winner, with the young Italian going 62 holes before his first bogey on the 9th in the final round.

Paratore’s incredible golf came at a soggy Close House course, hosted by Lee Westwood, in the first of a six-tournament “UK Swing”. This week, players high enough in the World Rankings can choose between the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational or the English Open. Next week, it will be a choice between staying put for the English Championship or heading to San Francisco for the first Major of 2020; the PGA Championship. Things are about to get interesting!

If the European Tour restart has given you the golf bug once again, you can speak to us about professional coaching by clicking the button below or calling 01727 861401. We’re here to help!

Easy, fun & enjoyable golf

We’ve all felt the pain of lugging a heavy bag around the course. It’s not fun! Having an electric trolley out on the course makes life so much easier. From easing the weight on your shoulders to speeding up your round, it’s a huge bonus.

But, whether you’re cramming it into your car boot or struggling to keep it upright when the wind blows, they can cause problems. That is, until Motocaddy’s genius M-Series range.

The amazingly compact fold-away designs are perfect for your car boot. Also, the EASILOCK bag system (in all models) and Downhill Control (in DHC models) prevents your trolley or bag from toppling over on any terrain.

Motocaddy trolleys are in popular demand at the moment so if you're interested in ordering one, come and visit us at Verulam Golf Club. In the meantime, click on the button below to explore the full range and watch our video.

Time to update your wedges?

That moment when you pitch the ball close to the pin and stop it on a dime for a tap-in putt is like no other. It dramatically reduces your score whilst looking awesome. As with all shots, it requires both technique and confidence, not to mention wedges with sharp grooves.

A recent survey highlighted that a third of golfers carry wedges that are over five years old. We appreciate that everyone has a club or two in their bag that they love but grooves will gradually deteriorate over time.

If you are one of these golfers, it's worth coming to see us for a chat. We can get you testing some new wedges against your current ones to see if it's time for a change. 

One wedge that we're particularly big fans of is Titleist's Vokey SM8. The brains behind these wedges have worked incredibly hard to ensure the grooves maintain their sharpness and spin for as long as possible, giving you the best chance around the greens.

Video of the Week

This European Tour challenge is pretty simple: pick your favourite club and play the entire hole with it. Close House was the venue ahead of last week's British Masters, but how did the players get on? There were certainly a few surprises!
