Winter rules

Please note that winter rules will remain in play until further notice.

Any ball lying on a closely mown area may be lifted and cleaned, then replaced within six inches of where it lay, not nearer the hole.

The ball must be marked before being lifted.

On the move

You probably think of your trolley as just a handy way to take the weight of a full golf bag off your shoulders as you walk the course (which it is), but nowadays your trolley can also take a huge weight off your mind as you play.

New Motocaddy GPS trolleys

Last year marked a significant upgrade in the world of GPS electric trolleys, and this year is set to follow suit.

To begin with, Motocaddy has added GPS technology to its highly popular M3 model for the first time! As the screen below shows, you will be able to view key yardages to the green at the quickest of glances.

If you want more then the M5 GPS gives you all of this but on a larger, higher-resolution touchscreen. In addition, you'll be presented with a dynamic green view that allows you to drag & drop the pin to match what you're faced with on the course.

Golf is an up-and-down sport in more ways than one, but with Motocaddy’s Downhill Control (DHC) models your trolley will be cruising at a constant speed no matter the terrain!

1-iron or hybrid?

No matter how good you are, it’s easy to feel intimidated when placing an old-school 1-iron or 2-iron behind the ball. With the compact, ultra-thin head, you’d be forgiven for having a crisis of confidence at address… But that can be an issue. With a hybrid, however, the larger head and the shape of the sole give you a real safety net as you strike the ball.

Which would you prefer?

Perhaps the biggest game-changer of the 21st Century, the popularity of hybrids has soared in recent years. Why hit a 1 or 2-iron when the benefits of a hybrid – higher, more forgiving launch - are staring you in the face? The more shots you hit, the more you’ll notice the consistency and forgiveness you’re gaining, with the versatility to strike the ball from anywhere and any lie adding another benefit over traditional long-irons.

Srixon ZX hybrids

At the pinnacle of this modern engineering is Srixon’s ZX hybrids. The stepped crown lowers the club's centre of gravity to really optimise that desired launch, whilst the Rebound Frame generates plenty of speed at impact for as much distance as possible. The head shape is also designed to help you strike the ball cleanly from tight lies, deep rough and even from bunkers. What more could you ask for?
