The Hampshire Golf Club

Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another edition of our newsletter

2019 has been dominated by two things on Tour, slow play and the new rules. This time it was the latter which stole the show after German Marcel Siem failed to realise preferred lies were NOT in play after lifting, cleaning, and placing his ball five-times on the front nine at Le Golf National.

Ten strokes was the penalty and the four-time European Tour winner decided to disqualify himself from the event.

However, that was nothing compared to Lee Ann Walker, who was handed a whopping 58-stroke penalty over two rounds at the Senior LPGA Championship after being unaware that you are no longer allowed to have your caddie line you up.

She won’t make that mistake again!

Enjoy the read.

Don't pack the clubs away yet

October has always been difficult to predict. One minute it's warm enough for just a polo and the next you need an all-singing, all-dancing raincoat. This is why having a lightweight mid-layer is vital to bridge the gap and have you covered whatever the weather.

PING's AW19 range

Luckily for you, the deliveries keep on arriving in the pro shop and some of the recent boxes contained PING's brilliant winter clothing range.

One piece that particularly stood out was this Norse PrimaLoft Jacket II, which is more than stylish enough to be worn off the course too.

Whether you're only wearing a polo underneath or a polo-jumper combination, this jacket will provide fantastic warmth without impeding your swing.

Wear it with these Verve II trousers and you have the perfect winter outfit, and both can be tried on in-store now.

Who had a pair of these?

I'm sure the shoes below will make a lot of you smile. It's been a long time since golf shoes looked like the first image and it's safe to say that comfort, style and traction have all come a long way since then - even if some of us think the overlapping tongues looked great!

Old style shoes

It wasn't just the daring uppers and striking tongue that defined golf shoes from yesteryear; flip the shoes upside down and the hard leather outsole featured single metal spikes that resembled weapons more so than traction pods.

Modern golf shoes

For adidas, it's all about Boost cushioning, which makes the Tour360 XT one of the most comfortable shoes around. Another new shoe for 2019 is the Tour360 XT SL; a spikeless model that has been the main evolution in recent years.
