Golf on Tour

Augusta's in full bloom

Back in November, we watched a totally unique Masters unfold. Dustin Johnson broke the tournament record, DeChambeau called Augusta a ‘par-67’ opening with 70-74 and Rory went from 3-over on Thursday to 11-under on Sunday. Madness! So… More of the same?

Absolutely not! Augusta National will have its bite back, for one thing. The return to the usual April date feels like we’re welcoming back an old friend in the form of a brutal golf course. It’s trickier than ever to call a winner, but why not have a go anyway?

We're sure you’re just as excited as us to watch the Masters this weekend and, if you do, it'll no doubt raise a question or two about your own game. Whatever it is, we can help! Just send us a message below.

Mind the gap

If we asked you what club you hit 150 yards, you’d likely have an easy answer. However, when it comes to 100 yards and in, it all gets a little messy and unclear. The funny thing is, this is the part of the game where our scores are made and lost, so maybe we all need to focus a bit more time on getting it right?

Do you have any yardage gaps in your set?

To start with, make sure your wedges are evenly gapped.

What is gapping?
It’s the fun process where we make sure each club in your bag goes a specific distance and that there are even gaps between one club and the next. This is particularly helpful when it comes to your wedge system!

So, rather than having to try and manipulate your swing-length to hit the ball a certain yardage, let’s look at things a different way.

Instead, make a note of the distances you most commonly face on the golf course but don't have a club that matches up. Then, we can help find you a club that goes that distance. If this is something you'd be interested in, send us a message.

Wicked & wonderful wedges

Whilst you might not be chipping out of the Augusta-style rough, having wedges that can really grab hold of your ball at impact can make the world of difference. You'll enjoy more spin and control no matter the shot at hand, giving you the confidence to attack pins at will – even at Augusta!

TaylorMade's Hi-Toe Raw Wedges

Modern engineering in wedges has focussed on creating grooves that hold contact with the ball for longer. This gives you more spin and, crucially, more control over that spin thanks to the increased feel. You won’t find a better example of this than the brand-new TaylorMade Hi-Toe Raw wedges.

Full-Face Scoring Lines & Raw Face Technology

Not only are the grooves of these wedges incredibly deep, narrow and sharp, but they extend across the entire face to maintain that spin out of deep rough (maybe Augusta is on the cards after all!) and when you open the face. Also, these grooves rust over time to maintain their spin, something we really love.
