Rory McIlroy wins the 2025 Masters in a playoff, completing the career Grand Slam 🏆 [LINK]

Why it matters if you’re new to golf: The Masters is golf’s Super Bowl, held every April at Augusta. Rory’s win makes him only the 6th player ever to capture all four majors. Keep an eye on him all season—broadcasters will mention the “Grand Slam” every five minutes, and you’ll instantly understand the hype.

RBC Heritage this week: betting panels like Patrick Cantlay’s “Harbour Town redemption” 🏖️ [LINK]

Why it matters if you’re new to golf: Harbour Town is a narrow, target-golf course—pros hit irons off the tee to stay safe. Try that strategy on your home track: fewer lost balls, lower scores.

Madelene Sagström claims the LPGA T-Mobile Match Play title 🏅 [LINK]

Why it matters if you’re new to golf: The LPGA is the women’s pro tour. Match Play = hole-by-hole knockout. Sagström went bogey-free for four rounds—copy her calm tempo next time you feel the first-tee jitters.

TaylorMade unveils the Qi35 driver—robot tests show 10 extra yards vs. last year’s model 🚀 [LINK] 

Why it matters if you’re new to golf: High-MOI heads = more forgiveness. If your drives spray left and right, a club like the Qi35 keeps off-center hits in the fairway. Now you’ll know the buzzword when you hit a demo day.

Weekly🏌️‍♂️Drill — Up-&-Away ⬆️🎈

Two summers back I topped four drives, pouted like a soaked Labradoodle.

Old-timer Dan said, “Kid, your tee’s afraid of heights.”

He lifted the ball half above the crown ⚙️, pressed my trail shoulder one finger lower 👇.

“Now high-five the sky,” he winked.

1️⃣ Tee height: half-ball above.

2️⃣ Set-up: drop trail shoulder 1 cm.

3️⃣ Feel: “swing up like tossing confetti” 🎉.

4️⃣ Rehearse twice slow; swing 80 %.

Five swings later my drives flew coin-solid, Dan cackled loud enough for the marshal.

Try it—bets on cart-path bounces not included 😉.

🛠️ Gear Insight — Callaway Supersoft 🎯

Bet a buddy a burger I’d break 90; he laughed at my scuffed range rocks 🍔.

Switched to Supersofts—38 compression, Hex dimples—shot 88 💪.

• Easy launch for <95 mph swings 🚀.

• Side-spin tamed, confidence untamed 🤘.

• €25 per dozen = water balls hurt less 💧.
