Boa constrict your footwear

There's been two major trends in the golf footwear market in recent years: the first is the surge in spikeless shoes, and the other is Boa. So, what actually is the Boa Fit System and is it anything to do with snakes?

FootJoy UltraFIT Boa golf shoe

No, it's nothing to do with snakes. Phew. Rather, the Boa Fit System has revolutionized footwear for the better and we absolutely love it.

Instead of using traditional laces, Boa utilises a steel wire (virtually unbreakable) that is effortlessly tightened via an easy-to-use dial strategically placed on the shoe (seen above). To loosen, simply pull out the dial and open up at the tongue.

With FootJoy's UltraFIT Boa, which is available in-store now, you will be guaranteed a comfortable fit every time safe in the knowledge that your laces will not come undone or get tangled throughout your round.

If you haven’t already experienced Boa, then we implore you to come down to the store and try on this fantastic option today - no obligation.

I can see clearly now

Bubba Watson, now there’s a man who knows a thing or two about style when it comes to the eyewear department. Oakley's golf-specific sunglasses don't just look great though, they also serve a very useful purpose that you can benefit from too.

Traditional vs Prizm lens

Bubba’s Oakley Targetline shades are fitted with Prizm lens technology. As you can see from the image above, the enhanced colour contrast from standard lens (on the left) to Prizm lens (on the right) is quite remarkable.

This will enable you to see course undulations with greater ease - a particularly useful benefit when it comes to reading your putts on the green.

Targetline sunglasses are available in both white (as Bubba is wearing here) and black, but click on the link below to browse Oakley's full range and Click & Collect to our shop.

Spotlight: Callaway Apex (2019) irons

Irons usually get updated every couple of years, so why did it take Callaway over three years to bring a new Apex iron model to market? Well, quite simply, the Apex CF16 was a brilliant iron that took a while to improve upon.

However, the brains at Callaway have done it and what a special option the new Apex CF19 is; not to mention the Apex Pro irons too. Watch this video to find out why this iron has us so excited in the shop.

Video of the Week

Some of you might recall Colin Montgomerie's driver off-the-deck on the final hole of the 1996 Omega Dubai Desert Classic. Well, 23 years on, can Tommy Fleetwood, Rafa Cabrera-Bello or Matt Fitzpatrick repeat Monty's tournament-winning shot?

We hope you enjoyed our newsletter. If you have any queries or questions please pop into the shop and feel free to ask. Regards Richard.
