| | | | | | | | Srixon have developed and evolved a proprietary SpinSkin technology. The cover of the golf ball has a skin that literally allows the grooves of your club face to grip the ball. That creates additional friction and MORE SPIN. | | | | | | | | | | | | Those looking for tour performance with leading spin rates? | Tour performance for moderate swing speeds. The most spin for your money? | A 2-pce ball with SpinSkin has distance AND great greenside performance. | | | | | | | | | | If you haven’t played a Srixon golf ball with SpinSkin technology, then give it a try. Practice around the greenside. Feel the ball remain on the face for longer. Notice how much extra spin you can create. | | | | |

| | We’re two weeks in to some simple advice on how to improve your scorecard using the Par 3 holes. They’re an opportunity for everyone. Removing risk helps. Simple Tip #3 Where’s the easiest and safest target? Before you even look for the flag, find the point on the green that gives you the largest room for error. | | | In this example, even going over the back of the target area marked will leave you a chip and putt for a 3, so you’re looking at a 4 at worst. Go at the flag and the consequences of a miss could be much greater. Even if you fly the flag and land in the bunker, you’re then faced with a bunker shot back towards water. Going at the flag is a 2 or bust! | | | You’ll be faced with a course management challenge on all approach shots, not just Par 3’s. Try playing a round where you take a ‘safety first’ approach to every shot. Check out your score. Is it an improvement if you play within yourself? Course management is an important part of your game; if you’d be interested in an accompanied round to help with your course management, | | | |
