It's Masters week!
I'm going to put my neck on the line and go for Jon Rahm this year. Rahm is playing some awesome golf and does not appear to be fazed by the big event. He is going to be a major player in world golf in the future and why not let it start at his first ever Masters.
Due to how busy his schedule has been, Rahm has not actually seen his invite to the tournament yet, so let's just hope that he gets let through the gates on Thursday!
My other bets are, Brooks Koepka and Ricky Fowler and Alex Noren all of whom I think have a chance of getting the job done. There has been a lot of rain at Augusta, so the course will be playing long and this will suit the big hitters, so let's now sit back and let it all unfold.
This is the official start to the 2017 golf season!

Are you struggling with arthritis in the fingers?
We see a few players each month who come to us looking to put thicker grips on to their clubs help them hold the club easier due to arthritis in the fingers. Although thicker grips can help by reducing the amount you must bend your fingers to grasp the club, you still have to apply a reasonable amount of pressure to hold the club in your hands.
Arthritic grips are designed with a special tread type pattern to help the grip actually 'grip' your hands so that much less pressure needs to be applied.
If this is something of which you would like some more information, then just pop in and speak with one of the team.
PING fitting event We had a very busy night at Wednesday's PING fitting event with both G series and the new i200 proving very popular. We have now had our first wave of fitting events from PING, Callaway and Cobra.
We have been pushing both TaylorMade and Titleist to get dates arranged and should hopefully have these organised in the near future.
Get the most out of your hybrid 
The majority of golfers now have at least one hybrid club in their golf bag, but are you getting the most out of this very versatile little club?
In this week's video, I show you just how to play the hybrid to produce a nice consistent ball flight.
