When it comes to finding out how far you have left to the green or to a particular hazard, you’ll find it hard to beat Garmin’s GPS devices - and they have something for everyone. If you prefer wearable technology then you have the choice between the extremely popular X40 band and S20 watch, both of which provide precise distances to the front, middle and back of the green as well as activity tracking information such as steps and distance travelled. In the handheld category the impressive Approach G30 touchscreen device comes with full-colour mapping, which allows you to view the entire hole as you play.

How often do you use yours?

Take a moment to think about this question: what is the most underused club in your bag? If you’re answering truthfully, our money is on your fairway wood, which could easily become one of your go-to clubs if you carefully consider the different test each hole provides.

Play for position

Are you guilty of always pulling driver with barely a thought to the hole you’re on, the day’s wind or ground conditions? If some of you considered the challenge more carefully, we’re sure a fairway wood would be a wiser play more often. For example, you can take a hazard completely out of play or leave a full shot to the green instead of an awkward pitch - as illustrated by the graphic here.

PING G400 fairway

Do you trust your fairway wood?

Of course, you can only rely on playing a safer
shot if you trust your fairway wood to be a consistent option. If yours often leaves you in trouble, perhaps you should consider a fitting to find a model more suited to your swing?

Try this option from PING

We’ve had a lot of success with the new PING G400 fairways that were launched to fly further than PING’s previous models but without sacrificing the forgiveness you need. Click on the image above to learn more about the different options available.

The start of autumn signals the time of year when many golfers begin to hibernate for the coming colder months. However, 2017 is going to be different because we’ve just received a brilliant selection of mid-layers that will keep you warm and swinging freely as the temperature drops, meaning there’ll be no excuses for you not to play.
