Hello golfers,

In this week’s email, the latest news and products here are Herons Reach and we also review what was almost a magical round for Ted Potter Jr.

Enjoy the read.

• Having Grips that are too big or too small will cause errant shots. If your grips are too big then they will restrict hand movement, too small and you will have too much hand movement

• Having slick and worn grips will mean you need to hold the club tighter, creating tension in the forearms, leading to bad shots and loss of distance.

Most golf manufactures recommend changing your grips every 40 rounds, or every 30 rounds if you spend a lot of time on the practice range.

When was the last time you changed yours?

59 watch. Again.

How do these guys manage it? Each week we see tour golfers shooting mid-to-low 60s, with a round in the high 60s seeming to be a disappointment for some. It’s incredible to think that these scores are the norm as us mere mortals struggle to get it around 18 holes without running out of golf balls, let alone carding a sub-70 round with such regularity.

Last week it was Ted Potter Jr’s turn to flirt with a 59. Starting on the back nine, the American was seven under through his opening seven holes and stood on the 16th tee 11-under-par for the day. All cameras were pointing in his direction, needing just one birdie on his final three holes to shoot the magic number but, unfortunately, he came up agonisingly short with two bogeys to sign for a 62.
