Introducing the TaylorMade Project S …

We’re excited to announce that we have upgraded our range balls, and we have the TaylorMade Project S ready for you right now, this week.

We always pride ourselves on bringing you the very best in everything we offer here at Winchester Golf Academy. Our range balls always take a beating through rain, wind, shine, and shanks, but to get the most from your practice, we know that the quality of the ball you use here makes all the difference.

The TaylorMade Project S is the best range ball you’ll find anywhere in Hampshire, and the soft, mid (60) compression and urethane cover are perfect for every level of golfer. Most of all, your shots on the range will replicate the distance performance you’ll be looking for on the golf course.

Come and try them out, and don’t forget to ask our staff if you need more advice on the difference between the balls we stock in the golf shop, and how to choose exactly the right ball for your game.

Find a yellow ball in your basket and WIN a FREE two-ball sleeve…

For those of you who love your tennis as much as your golf, it’s strange not having the main event on the big screen this month. So as a nod to Wimbledon 2020, we’ve dropped a few yellow balls into our hopper. If you’re lucky enough to find one in your basket, come and claim your FREE two-ball sleeve from the front desk!

Golf on Tour

Changes pay off for Bryson

Bryson DeChambeau’s beefed-up new look has had chins wagging since the restart of the PGA Tour. On Sunday, the added muscle mass delivered its first win. A seven-under final round brought his total to -23 for the week and gave ‘The Mad Scientist’ a three-stroke victory at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.

The 26-year-old had decided it was time for a change at the back-end of 2019 and put his famed thinking cap (a Ben Hogan-style flat-cap) on to find a solution. The answer, he decided, was to gain muscle in order to drive further.

After finishing T3-T6-T8 in the first three events, this week DeChambeau was finally able to sink the critical putts. His driving distance (now No. 1 on the PGA Tour) has proven effective, but this week went to show that you can’t win without good putting.

If you're thinking of changing your approach to the game or want some help to take your game to the next level, we can help! Simply, call us on 01962 885254 or send us a message below.

Rules reminder

We all try to avoid bunkers, but inevitably we find ourselves there more than we’d like to admit. As a result, we need to know the latest rules for when we find ourselves in bunkers.

Moving loose impediments

You are allowed to move loose impediments within the bunker, however, you must still avoid touching the sand around your ball with your club of choice.

Taking unplayable lies

Rather than letting frustration get the better of you, don't forget you are allowed to take unplayable ball relief from OUTSIDE the bunker at a cost of two penalty strokes.

If you have any questions about the rules of golf or anything else, please feel free to contact us via the button below or call us on 01962 885254.

The best bags for the course

There’s nothing quite like getting your hands on the latest toys and gadgets, whether it’s the fastest new car or a set of the latest top-of-the-range golf clubs. What a feeling!

You wouldn’t want that speedy new car to look like a dusty old wagon though, would you? We want our new gadgets to get people talking, so appearance is important. That’s why you want to walk the fairways with your golf clubs in a bag that looks great.

PING offers a wide range of golf bags that look great on your back or on a trolley. Every bag, from the Hoofer Craz-E Lite stand bag to the Pioneer Monsoon cart bag, provides everything you’ll need on the golf course, including spacious pockets and waterproof protection.
