In my first blog I found out all about the custom fit process and how it could benefit a hacker like me.
Now, it was time to get out on course to see if having clubs refined for my own game really could make that much of a difference – so, I decided to head north with two NCG colleagues armed with my brand new Callaway sticks.
And where better to try my new gear than the golfing paradise of Fife?
Playing off 21 it is of course unrealistic to just expect my game to dramatically improve by just using new clubs. As I alluded to previously it certainly plays a huge part in giving you the confidence in your equipment.
Confidence in golf is a huge thing and knowing that you have the right gear for your game certainly makes it easier. So, we set off on the mammoth task of playing Monifieth, Scotscraig, both Crail courses, Ladybank and both Archfield courses.
The first course we visited was the home of Tom Watson’s famous first links experience.
Monfieth is just a short hop over the Tay Bridge into Angus and this felt like the perfect opportunity to get going. Although, the weather didn’t comply early on it didn’t dampen my mood as I crashed my opening drive straight down the fairway.
With a slight nod to the railway on the right I was off.
Over the next three days there would be a mix of golf on offer but that was to be expected.
Small improvements
One of the biggest initial improvements I noticed straight away was the dispersion with my driver had narrowed somewhat. My miss was always right, and right big time.
A previous issue that no matter what driver I used was the height in which I was hitting – having changed lofts on more than one occasion I couldn’t find a cure. It was something that we worked on my fitting session and it was genuinely impressive to see it at work.
