Totally bunkers!

The proposed changes to the Rules of Golf are less than three months away so we thought we'd look at one introduction which will put your mind at ease when you find yourself in a tricky situation within a bunker...

You may not be aware but under the current ruling, you cannot take relief outside the bunker once you've already made an attempt to play the ball from inside. However, under the proposed changes (19.3b), and for two penalty strokes, you will have the additional option of taking relief outside the bunker by dropping a ball back on the line from the hole through where your ball was at rest in the bunker. Phew.

Go the distance

We've all been there - around 75 yards out and faced with a tricky little pitch shot towards a tight pin; danger over the back and a tier just before the flag that will take anything short down to the front edge.

The first stage in overcoming potential card wreckers like this is knowing how far you hit a full shot with each of your wedges. The second is having three different distances that you can comfortably hit with each, adding to your options when faced with this scenario.

Callaway Mack Daddy 4

One wedge which will offer you the versatility required for absolute precision in distance control is Callaway's Mack Daddy 4. The MD4 has its main grooves horizontally milled for that extra precision when hitting towards tight pins. You also won't have to worry about shooting the ball over the back either, thanks to the club's Micro-Grooves, which help to boost spin further, letting you attack the pin with confidence.

We hope you enjoyed the newsletter and have a great weekend. Gary and Emma.
