Tour news

Lucky number 17 for Reavie

If Chez Reavie plays the lottery this week then we recommend one of his picks is 17.

The American claimed the Travelers Championship by four shots with a total 17-under-par but despite shooting a joint back-nine record at TPC River Highlands on Saturday with a 7-under 28, a charging Keegan Bradley had his lead down to just one with three to play come Sunday.

Lucky number 17 came to the rescue though as Bradley shot a double bogey at the par 4 seventeenth whilst Reavie sunk a birdie at the same hole to stretch the lead to four where it stayed.

It was Chez Reavie’s second PGA Tour win and first since claiming the Canadian Open in 2008 – a tournament he won with a total score of (yep you guessed it) 17-under par.

Spooky.

All or nothing

Playing a par-3 over water is as much a mental test as anything else. After all, if it was just light rough between you and the green, would you still hit panic mode? Of course not, so what can you do to keep the nerves at bay and ensure your ball sails safely over the drink?

Stay calm and don't panic!

The biggest obstacle to overcome when playing over water is not actually the H2O, but rather your own mental barrier. Here's our advice:

Focus on a point behind the green that is in line with the flag. This can be a tree, branch, it could even be a leaf – anything just so long as it pulls your eye-line away from the wet stuff and closer to the pin
Stay relaxed. You have hit the ball a million times before so there is no need to panic now
Stick to your pre-shot routine. This is the best way to stay in the moment and make your next shot seem like any other

These tips will have you relishing those watery par-3s but if you find yourself still struggling with some of the tougher shots in golf, then speak to a member of the team about a lesson so we can iron out any kinks in your game.

Lost your groove?

Much like the tyres on your car, there comes a time when the grooves on your wedges have worn away so much that they need replacing. This process occurs slowly over time and is something that you might not notice at first glance, but when the wear becomes apparent it can have serious consequences on your game.

Fresh vs worn grooves

It might seem a little extreme, but the graphic above illustrates the impact worn grooves can have on shots into greens - a lower ball flight that rolls out farther compared to a wedge with fresh grooves.

Yes, you might be able to adapt by pitching the ball shorter and letting it roll out, but when you don't have much green to work with or are playing a delicate shot worn grooves will be of no use.

What do we suggest?

If dirt, grit and water have visibly harmed your wedge face, it’s time to get your groove back with a new wedge set-up.

One model that we'd certainly recommend trying is PING's Glide Forged wedge. Wheel-cut grooves produce a sharper edge to increase contact with the ball at impact for improved spin and control around the greens.

PING wedges are trusted by some of the world's best golfers, including Bubba Watson and Lee Westwood, so you can guarantee they'll add performance to your game.
