Helping you enjoy better golf this year

Most of you will be familiar with the survey we ran last year to try and help us improve the service we offer you, and we had some interesting feedback. These results brought to mind the saying, 'A bad workman always blames his tools'. There's a certain amount of truth in this saying, but when it comes to golf, there may be more to it…not that we're saying you're bad golfers, because what we're about to say applies to players of all abilities.

For example, we discovered that nearly half of you haven't been fitted for your irons. Not bad tools, just not the right shafts for you, perhaps? Similarly, we can say with some certainly that 50% of you have a gap in your wedge system. Again, the wedges themselves may be fine, but if you haven't got the right ones for the distances and shot types you're attempting, you'll encounter problems, even if you do have a fantastic short game.

We'll be bringing you more over the coming months on the results from the survey with lots of advice and tips on how we can help, so look out for this graphic. The survey was intended to help us understand your game even more, and if we can do that then better golf is just around the corner - and no more blaming your tools.
