Hole-in-one alert... Well played to Old Fold member Vic Leversha who had his first hole-in-one at the 10th hole during yesterday’s TOFFS fixture against Verulam Golf Club, which also sealed victory in his match, 7 and 6 (having started on the 17th). Well done Vic!

Hot weather tips As we are expecting a heatwave over the next couple of weeks, in the professional shop we have a few tips and advice to tackle the hot weather: - Drink lots of water. Hydration is the first thing that will affect your concentration and your golf swing. This is also advice to stop dehydration, which can lead to dizziness. Better to take too much water than not enough!
- Sun cream! Many of you may say you tan easily in the sun, but this is no excuse not to wear sun cream.
- Wear a hat. This will keep the sun off your head and will avoid a sun stroke.
- Wet and cold towel. No this isn’t to help clean your clubs, but having and extra towel with freezing water is another way to cool yourself down during the hot weather.
We hope this helps for your summer golf!

Which bracket do you fall in? |
There’s one thing that you'll always need in abundance when playing golf and that’s balls - and plenty of them. Each golf ball we sell offers different levels of feel and performance at varying price points, meaning we have something to offer all playing preferences and budgets. |
| Bang for your buck Balls at a cheaper price point usually have one key performance benefit rather than offering a little of everything. This Callaway Warbird follows the trend by offering maximum distance with your longer clubs thanks to its aerodynamic dimples and high-energy core, giving you lots of power for little expenditure. |
| The all-rounder If you’re looking for more balanced performance through the bag but without the premium price tag, this Callaway Supersoft ball is designed to be long, straight and soft. It doesn’t spin as much as the Chrome Soft, but its low compression core helps create long, high flights that land softly. |
| Tour performance The saying 'you get what you pay for' certainly applies when it comes to golf balls. Callaway's Chrome Soft is their premium option, and it's easy to see why, with a soft urethane cover for short-game spin and a graphene-infused core that boosts ball speed and provides more iron control. |
