Welcome to our weekly newsletter bringing you all the latest news, the big story in the golf world this week is that 14 time major winner Tiger Woods has registered for the US Open at Oakmont in June. Woods won his last major in 2008 and the golfing landscape is much changed with a new crop of talented players such as Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth and Jason Day all having won recent majors. After two back surgeries and at 40 years of age if Tiger is to add to his 14 major victories it will certainly be his most impressive feat yet - but with his determination we wouldn't bet against it!
In this week's news:
- Di's major ladies victory - Graham is the special Spring senior - How a low compression ball may change your game - Your last chance to trade in & trade up - get your game in shape in May - upcoming events

Equipment tips
Over the last couple of years we've seen some great low compression golf balls come on to the market such as the popular Callaway SuperSoft and the Titleist DT TruSoft. We've encouraged lots of our readers with slower swing speeds to try these types of ball as they are proven to give more distance on tee shots but also feel nice and soft around the green.
In simple terms to make a ball fly further a golfer needs to transfer energy through their golf club to the centre of the ball, if a ball's cover is too hard you need very high speed to get through to the core so if you have a slow swing it's much more preferable to try a softer compression ball as it will fly further!
Many of you reading this would benefit from a low compression ball - want to try one? Well now you can! Srixon have introduced a new model called the Ulti-Soft and if you buy any 3 pack of Srixon balls we'll give you a 2 ball trial pack of the Ulti-Soft balls that you can try for yourself.
