Hi Reader,

What Can We Actually Learn From The Pros Club Choices?

The golf season is well and truly back in full swing!

Rory McIlroy has made more history winning another green jacket and Matt Fitzpatrick has got his hands again on that signature red tartan blazer at the RBC Heritage.

Scottie Scheffler's wardrobe meanwhile remains bare having been pipped at both events!

And with all that Golfing Focus is also back with our in-depth updates analysing the bags of the top 100 players on the PGA Tour.

Here's what we've found so far and the reasons why that although hybrid use has fallen at the elite level, the same logic often points average golfers in the opposite direction!
