Anyone else get caught out by the false dawn of spring this week?
I woke up on Thursday morning, the sun was shining, I put a t-shirt on and headed to work with the intention of playing a few holes at lunchtime.
Between the car park and the first tee, I was forced to add two further layers as the biting Yorkshire wind wiped the early golf season optimism off my face.
My week actually started with a trip to Tour X in Wigan as four NCG competition winners were given the ultimate tour experience with a Nippon shaft fitting.

It’s a fantastic place for gear perverts and, whatever your ability level, I’d recommend getting your clubs fitted by Nick Hibbs and his team. You can find out how our readers got on here.
As I returned to the office, I noticed my ‘gear to test’ pile had grown a bit so stay tuned for plenty of reviews over the coming weeks.
There was also a healthy selection of new gear releases in my inbox so read on to find out what’s coming to a pro shop near you soon…
Rickie Fowler Puma hi-tops inspired by The King
These probably wont be coming to a pro shop near you but they are more than worthy of a mention here.
Only two pairs of these eye-catching shoes have been made in honour of the late Arnie.
