The Hampshire Golf Club

Hello Golfers,

Last Sunday was Australia Day and so it proved to be on Tour too, as Aussie duo Marc Leishman and Lucas Herbert wrapped up the Farmers Insurance Open and Omega Dubai Desert Classic respectively.

Leishman kept a host of big names behind him to record his fifth PGA Tour title whilst Herbert held his nerve to defeat Christiaan Bezuidenhout to record his first European Tour win and add to the pair’s national celebrations.

Anything that makes golf that little bit easier is a good thing in our eyes and if improving your iron play is up there on your to-do list then you’re in luck, as we have a treat we want to share with you.

Lynx Prowler VT irons

When we're over the ball with a short iron in hand, it's time to be thinking about hitting it close. However, when we're about to play a shot with a long iron it's more about just finding the green.

This is why we love Lynx’s Prowler VT irons; The variable thickness hollow head features a forged face and cast steel body which offers a tour-inspired look that delivers remarkable distance and control from the long irons right through to the short irons.

If you're using irons that are several years old, we're certain you'll enjoy some performance gains with the Prowler VT irons. Come in-store and speak to a member of the team if you're interested in giving them a try.

I would walk 500 miles

Okay, the title is a slight exaggeration but the simple truth is that we all cover a good distance when playing a round of golf, especially those playing army golf! But, how far do we actually walk? Well, we got the calculator out to have a go at figuring it out for real.

Golf courses average between 6,500 and 6,800 yards. For argument’s sake, let’s split that down the middle at 6,650 yards, which means you would cover 3.78 miles (6.08km if you prefer) if you walked in a straight line.

However, factors such as the distance from green to tees, your ability, and how often you're searching for lost balls all come into play. So, in most cases, you can expect to walk between 50 and 70% further than the yardage length of the course!

All of this means one thing in our eyes - make sure you're wearing comfortable footwear out on the course. We have a great selection in the pro shop so come down and try on a few pairs before your next round.
