New rules, new rules… The new rules set by the R&A and USGA are now in play and as you would have seen at the most recent PGA tour event, there are quite a few changes. Principally, they are designed to help simplify and more importantly speed up play! This week’s new rule change of the week is……. Water hazards and bunkers are now known as penalty areas. You may now ground your club in a water hazard with no penalty, but you still cannot ground your club in a bunker. In addition, you may now also remove loose impediments from any penalty areas. We will bring you another rule change next week.

75 yards? Up-and-down for me... |
The majority of golfers know how far they hit their driver and irons with a full swing, but wedges require you to be a lot more accurate if you want to start shooting better scores. So, whilst it can be useful to know how far a full PW or LW goes, you'll benefit far more from dialling in your wedges so you can hit specific distances that you regularly find yourself with on the course. |
Give yourself options You'll notice that different swings with each wedge will result in yardages that overlap - see table above. This is important as it'll give you options when considering the conditions. For example, if you're facing a strong breeze, we'd suggest going up a club and utilising a shorter swing so the ball flies lower with less spin, helping it to penetrate through the wind. |
Dial in with Callaway We'd recommend having a wedge system of the same brand and model, so you remove any variables in feel and spin across wedges. One model that we love is Callaway’s Mack Daddy 4 wedge. Its new Groove-In-Groove technology provides brilliant control and spin no matter if you're playing from the rough or the fairway, whilst 21 loft-bounce combinations give us a fantastic array of options to pick from when finding you the perfect set-up to improve your wedge play. |
