Hello Golfers,

Academy news

WIN unlimited range balls for a year …

Launching this Thursday, 5 December for four days only is the brand-new Toptracer GLOBAL 9-Shot Challenge. And it really is GLOBAL with 25 countries and 200 driving ranges taking part, and it might just be the most addictive challenge ever run.

Hit your best approach shot on 9 virtual holes and each distance to the pin adds up to give your overall score. The lowest score from 9 shots wins. It’s completely free to enter and you can play as many times as you like.

Of course, we’d love to see all our Winchester Golf Academy customers on the Global Leaderboard but if one of you lands the overall top spot by close of play on Sunday, 8 December, we’ll give you a whole year’s supply of practice balls to use on the range! If that can’t tempt you, we don’t know what will!

Just remember to download the app before you start so that your scores are recorded and ask the staff team if you have any questions or need help to get started.

How times have changed

We've got a little task for you. Next time you're down the club on a busy day, have a look around and count how many golfers are using an electric trolley compared to those that aren't. We think the number might surprise you...

Waterproofs. Mittens. Woolly hat.

Golf at this time of the year requires the lot, which can make carrying your golf bag an absolute nightmare!

However, utilising an electric trolley - like 66% of club golfers - allows you to pack your bag with everything you need and more without it weighing you down for 18 holes.

One trolley we really like is the M-TECH from Motocaddy, which was released earlier this year and shows just how far electric trolleys have come.

Luxury polished chrome detailing, a super-lightweight design and an electronic parking brake are just three of its features that we love, but click the link below to view more.

Prepare for winter

Believe it or not, winter golf can be just as enjoyable as golf in the heat of summer – as long as you’re well prepared! So, here are our top tips to help you survive out on the course this winter.

Get your waterproof kit out

Don’t get caught out by a shower or the early morning dew. Ensure you are wearing waterproof clothing – including your shoes – with a wet weather bag to keep you and your equipment dry.

Club up

Don’t be afraid to be a little more aggressive and go a club up. The ball won’t travel as far through the denser air and there is less rollout so playing one club up may prove to be the difference.

Play a distance ball

It’s no secret that the course plays longer in winter, which makes distance key. A two-piece ball is the ideal way to get that extra speed and longer distance from the tee when you need it most.

Video of the Week

For all the clubs in your bag, having maximum confidence in your wedges is key when it comes to your performance out on the course. One brand that we recommend trying is TaylorMade, and here's our review video on their new wedges for 2019. Enjoy!
