Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another edition of our newsletter.

It's a busy week for news on Tour. Kevin Kisner's wounds from last year's WGC Match Play Championship's final defeat to Bubba Watson (7&6 if you can't remember) have all but gone after the American went one step further over the weekend, beating Matt Kuchar in the final.

Kuchar's run to the final wasn't without controversy though, as the likeable American was caught up in "gimmiegate" with Sergio Garcia. In their quarter-final match-up, the Spaniard went to tap in a putt with the back of his putter on the 7th green before Kuchar had chance to concede the putt. Sergio went on to lip out and as a result lost the hole, which would have been halved if he had just waited for the nod.

Onto the future and this week sees a world-first take place as 40 golfers from each of the Challenge Tour, Ladies European Tour and Staysure Tour (over 50s) gather for the Jordan Mixed Open. Same leaderboard, different tees, same prize fund. Keep an eye on next week's newsletter for our round-up.

Enjoy the read.

Spikeless with a twist

There's been two major trends in the golf footwear market in recent years: the first is the surge in spikeless shoes, and the other is Boa. So, what actually is the Boa Fit System and is it anything to do with snakes?

No, it's nothing to do with snakes. Phew. Rather, the Boa Fit System has revolutionized footwear for the better and we absolutely love it.

Instead of using traditional laces, Boa utilises a steel wire (virtually unbreakable) that is effortlessly tightened via an easy-to-use dial strategically placed on the shoe (seen above). To loosen, simply pull out the dial and open up at the tongue.

With adidas' Forgefibre Boa, which is available in-store now, you will be guaranteed a comfortable fit every time safe in the knowledge that your laces will not come undone or get tangled throughout your round.

If you haven’t already experienced Boa, then we implore you to come down to the store and try on this fantastic option today - no obligation.

Make your putting fun

Have you ever found yourself on the green with an outside shot of birdie, only to go and three-putt? Yep, we’ve all done it, however, if the thought of heading to the practice green hardly fills you with excitement, why not try a putting game to increase the fun?

1st one in wins

Ramp up the pressure with a playing partner on the practice green with a game of first one in wins. The premise is simple:

Pick two holes that are 10-foot apart
You and a playing partner stand at opposite ends (as per the picture above)
Hit putts at the same time to the other hole
Every putt that is holed is worth one point
First to three points wins

You will be amazed at how quickly you dial your putts in under pressure. Just remember, if you’re the winner, make sure you get your playing partner to treat you to a drink in the clubhouse after your round.
