The Masters

DJ's Masterclass

We had to wait a long time for the 2020 Masters, but Dustin Johnson made sure it was worth it with a stunning 20-under tournament record.

The quiet-mannered American stalked the course with the swagger and calmness of a true champion. His golf was out of this world. DJ avoided the big mistakes (unfortunately, the same couldn't be said for Tiger after a 10 on the par-3 12th) and took birdies as they came.

At one stage his lead was cut to just a single stroke on Sunday afternoon, giving the chasing pack and a resurgent Rory a glimmer of hope, only to put his foot down on the accelerator and never look back.

A fully deserved Green Jacket and he'll rightly be the favourite once again come April. DJ's story speaks for itself: four times he has led in a Major going into Sunday but never converted.

Well, I guess it was fifth time lucky! And, as Butch Harmon said during the coverage: "he's the closest we've seen to Tiger".

Pro's news

Lola Adventures

Last week where we saw my dog Lola getting warmed up on the practice ground.

Well, here she is this week on the 15th hole where she has taken too much club off the tee and is weighing up her chip shot to try and save par.

What are her chances of getting up and down?

Course news

Making the most of a quiet course...

Lockdown 2.0 is giving Will and his team a chance to start some projects they have been wanting to do for a while, but with the course having been so busy this has been difficult to do.

Here below is the team leveling off the mens yellow 17th tee and lots more is planned to make the course even better for your return!

Scratch your golfing itch

After an amazing Masters tournament, we don't blame you for wanting to get out on the course at the next possible opportunity (hopefully, it won't be too much longer). So, why not prepare now for when the time comes by ordering anything you need from your local pro shop?

Thank you for shopping local

Not going the extra yard

Golfers have enough hoops to jump through on the course if we want a respectable scorecard at the end of it. With golf balls not travelling as far in cold air and not getting the usual run out off the tee, it feels like the winter is just throwing even more obstacles our way!

Clubbing-up in the winter

Rather than trying to rip the skin off the ball by swinging extra fast - especially when it's into the wind - the better option is always to club up. What we would usually see as say 7-iron range, suddenly becomes 6 or even 5-iron range.

Long irons and hybrids can be very useful at this time of year, especially the latter. Being able to swing the club normally opposed to trying to hit it harder will impart less spin on the ball and give you a better chance of finding the centre of the clubface.
