Hickory golf is enjoying a revival in some parts of the world with players re-living the challenge of playing with wooden shafted clubs. These clubs were widely used up to the 1930’s when club makers started using more modern materials. However, despite their lesser performance, the attraction of dressing up in old-fashioned golfing garb and hacking around 18 holes with mashies, niblicks and cleeks — the evocative names given to the clubs used by Bobby Jones, Walter Hagen and Henry Cotton — has endured. The format has a huge following in the U.S. where devotees gather at historic courses to play an “authentic” round of golf. There’s a saying about modern golf clubs that you can buy any shot out of the shop but playing with hickory makes people think more about their swing and be clever about their shots. Read 
Cleveland Golf’s new range of wedges the CG15’s are now available. The main feature of these wedges is the bigger grooves, achieved through their breakthrough milling technology. Another new feature of note is the laser precision milled face which increases spin by improved surface roughness and optimizing ball-to-face friction. The wedges also have wider soles and heels to improve bunker recovery performance. The CG15s come in an wide range of lofts, bounce options and finishes.

Three finishes are available Black Pearl, Satin Chrome and Oil Quench. Get more information on these wedges at 
Golf can be tough playing in cold conditions, so just imagine what it would be like to play on a golf course made of ice at temperatures well below minus 12 degrees. At the World Ice Golf championship in Greenland they play with orange balls as they are easier to find, the greens are actually white, and the holes are twice the size of a normal golf hole. Its all part of the fun, but they are serious. Trolleys are not permitted and a ball may dropped within 15cm of where it landed, without a penalty. Gigantic icebergs form a key part of the 9 hole course layout and players are known locally as icegolfers. Golfers with a handicap of up to 36 may take part, so to get your participation form and learn more about this spectacular championship read on……
