Reader opportunity...Do you want to improve your wedge play?

[PaulOHagan]

Hi all

We are looking for golfers who feel like they would reduce their handicap if they improved their wedge play. If you play off a handicap of 16 or less and feel like your game from 100 yards and in needs improving then we want to hear from you. You must be available on May 16th and able to make your own way to a golf course in Surrey.

The selected two applicants will take part in a unique Golf Monthly feature. They will receive wedge and ball fittings from a Titleist expert before being given tips and advice from European Tour player and renowned short game expert Bret Rumford. They will also be sent a set of Vokey wedges and a dozen of the balls you were fitted for. The event will take place at one of the most exclusive courses in the country and will feature in the magazine later in the year.

If you are interested in taking part please send the following information to paul_o'hagan@ipcmedia.com

Love to but bit of a trek for me to get to deepest darkest Surrey

 

[Evesdad]

Wish I had a 16 or lower handicap full stop let alone for this!! Homer this could be one way of sharpening that short game up!!

 

[viscount17]

I'll be getting a cut after today's medal but sadly I doubt that it will be enough

 

[Jaymosafehands]

Bloody hell, I'm going to have to play well this weekend to get under 16. Hmmmm

 

[drawboy]

I'd love to, I qualify but Surrey that's near France isn't it?

 

[need_my_wedge]

One for Timgolfy.........

sent, fingers crossed, and toes

Pretty sure a previous fitting by Titliest through the mag specified a H/cap of 16 or less. They seem to be the only manufacturer to specify this requirement.

Why is this? Do they feel anyone above this h/cap should really not be using their gear?

Just curious.

It’s a bit too far for me anyway and feel that I have had my share of these events recently

If forum votes count. I'd definately say Tim and Homer. But then again our Tim doesn't have a handicap!

Another nice little one from the mag. Just one question though. When's the Mizuno day?!!!!

 

[Mightymoose]

Too far for me. Shame as I could do with some tips!

 

[john0]

I really do wish that you would have some of the opportunies a bit further up north

is it because this is a roughish handicap where consistency is almost there, im not saying its the same for everyone, but i miss a few greens in GIR, and struggle with up and down saves as do most of my playing partners around the same hc

I have always felt that, traditionally, Titleist have focused on the Lower Handicap golfer whilst using the Cobra brand to cater for everyone else. With the sale of Cobra, however, they seem to be making a few steps towards prodcuing clubs for the higher handicap market.

Souds good to me, but I'm not sure that one day is enough to cure my shank.

Just one question though. When's the Mizuno day?!!!!

I think they're saving that for the 16+ handicappers

Have sent details, but as i already use Vokey Wedges don't hold out much hope. Mind you i am useless with them.

Just spotted it is the 16 May. I'm free !!!

 

[kinhell]

I'd definitely go down if it wasn't for the fact I play off 24 !! My problem is off the tee so if they ever do one with drivers and over 16 handicaps include me in. I could easily wip 8 shots off my game if I tamed the driver.
