Tour news

Hat-trick hero Rahm

Spaniard Jon Rahm declared his love for the Irish after becoming the first man to claim three Rolex Series titles in 2019 with a scintillating two-shot victory at the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open:

"I love this country, I love the people and feel like I'm at home every time I come”

Those feelings were evident on Sunday as Rahm fired an eagle and eight birdies in his final round 62 to leave England’s Andy Sullivan and Austria’s Bernd Wiesberger tied second on 14-under-par. The win was Rahm’s second success at the Irish Open having won in 2017 at Portstewart and sees the 24-year-old move back into the world’s top 10 as a result. Someone get that man a Guinness.

Hands up...

...if the only time you 'practice' your wedge play is when you hit a few shots at the start of your warm-up routine? Sadly, this isn't going to lead to a dialled in wedge game, which is one of the fastest ways to see your scores come tumbling down.

1 club. 3 swings. 3 distances.

Sounds easy, right? Well, it could be but first there are two things you must do in order to start saving shots.

1. Correctly gapped wedge system - What we mean by this is having an equal gap between each club in your bag, so you're never left trying to 'manufacture' a shot on the golf course (this is where large numbers start). PING's Glide 2.0 Stealth wedges are perfect for exactly this reason, coming in a range of lofts from 46 (PW) to 60 (LW) degrees so you have every distance covered with your wedges.

2. Have 3 distances with each club - As per the graphic above, if you became comfortable with full, three-quarter and half swings with each of your wedges, you’ll find that your wedge play becomes seriously more effective.

So now you know the secrets to lower scores, it’s time to utilise our expertise and professional advice in order to start unlocking your full potential with your wedge play. Come and speak to a member of the team next time you're at the club.
