FATHER'S DAY SHOP IS OPEN

FN9 | 2

As Father's day is quickly approaching, let dad go out in style with a pair of all new Swim Trunks from Peter Millar. Let's face it, all dad's need a good pair of swim trunks. Whether it's an afternoon in the backyard, a small family get-together, or a weekend by the pool. These trunks are clearly the move! All are made from soft, quick-drying stretch fabric and feature a nuanced novelty motif for a unique aesthetic. Designed with a mesh lining, quarter-top pockets, and elasticized drawstring waist. We can assure you that all these trunks are "dad NOMADIC | 24 approved."


IT ALL COMES BACK TO THE GRIP No two hands or swings are the same, that is why it is so vital to properly get fit for the correct grips. Several years ago, Golf Pride conducted a study that revealed a set of worn, two-year-old grips can cost a golfer 3-4 shots, on average, over the course of a round. If you really think about it, you begin to see the importance of changing your grips regularly. Heat, dirt, and oil are the biggest contributors to the natural degradation of a grip. Once the grip wears down, bad habits start to creep in, and your confidence level starts to plummet. If your grips are worn down, we've got you covered. Take a look at the grip to the right, that is the all new Golf Pride Tour Wrap MicroSuede golf grip. This grip features a proprietary brushed surface finish that delivers soft feel and added traction. For those needing new grips and want a soft feel, take a look at the all new MicroSuede grip or let any member of the Professional Staff assist you in selecting the right grip. Remember, it may shave a few strokes off your game!

WHICH PUTTER LENGTH SHOULD YOU USE? Â Without question, putter length factors into the equation of a consistent reliable stroke. Could changing the length of your putter actually improve your performance on the green? The answer is yes! Let's dive in. If your putter length is too short, your eye line will typically be way too far over the ball. This leads to a reduction in face rotation and can cause the putter to be too upright. Consequently if your putter is too long, you will naturally stand further away from the ball, which in turn will move your eye line inside the ball.

This will create more arc in your stroke, increasing face rotation, and decreasing your chance of having a square clubface at impact. The correct putter length varies for each player depending on factors such as height and stroke type. The most common way to determine a baseline for length is to measure your wrist to the floor. Once this length is established, selecting a putter becomes a little bit easier. The most important aspect in putting is making sure you have the correct setup. If you seem to be struggling on the greens, check to see if your putter is the correct length for you. Altering your eyeline can make a huge difference in your game.

“So it looked really good on video and it felt good, but once I got out there, just that inch difference in the putter, it moves your eye line and you stop seeing your lines the way you usually do." -Rory McIlroy
