Hello golfers,

In this week’s email, we ask you to consider what's most important to you in a golf shoe, we take a look at how you voted in January's poll, and we look ahead to what's coming in February.

Enjoy the read.

Don't start the season with worn grips...

Why would you risk poor ball striking by having to grip your clubs tighter? With different sizes and textures, there are a number of superb options from Golf Pride that I can advise you on. We can consider feel, traction, the size of your hands and how often you play in the rain. So are your grips shiny? Perhaps they've hardened and cracked, well no wonder if you're playing regularly.

Don't risk poor ball striking, come and see me in the pro shop and let's get you re-gripped! Click here to find out more.

Don't practice your faults

There is no substitute for good proven basics, let your professionals improve your game this winter. It may just require a ''Quick Fix'' or perhaps a more long term structured approach.

Let's work together to make 2018 a golfing year to remember.

It's a new era

Our January poll captured the imagination of many of you as we asked you to consider whether Tiger Woods would make a triumphant return to the fairways in 2018. Here are the final results:

• 58% think Tiger will fail to win a tournament this year
• 33% believe the American will win a PGA Tour event
• 9% believe he’ll get one closer to Jack Nicklaus’ major victories record

As we head into February, keep an eye out for our new poll later this week. With lots of the major brands releasing new products over the coming weeks, we want to know which one you’d like to try the most. Of course, we will be receiving lots of exciting bits next month so be sure to pop your head into the shop next time you're at the club.
