Top 5 Moments At The Belfry

We are heading into the British Masters week, one of the most iconic events in the UK over the last few decades and since its revival in recent years it has created some memorable moments!

It’s not just the tournament that’s created some great moments, the venue of this week’s tournament and future events has given us some fantastic memories! 

In this blog we look at our Top 5 Moments At The Belfry.

THE PUTT THAT WON THE 2002 RYDER CUP

Arguably one of the most iconic 18th hole putts at the Belfry goes to Paul McGinley as he held Jim Furyk to claim the decisive half point needed to reclaim the Ryder Cup!

THORBJORN OLESEN WINS THE 2022 BRITISH MASTERS

Play the clip from 8:45. Finishing in style, Thorbjorn eagles 17 before holing a monstrous birdie putt on 18. A putt of that enormity will forever be remembered at the Belfry. 

PHILIP PRICE BEATS MICKELSON

Play the clip from 1 minute and enjoy one of the 2002 Ryder Cup’s best putts from Philip Price as he went on to beat Phil Mickelson in emphatic style. 

A defining moment of the Ryder Cup!

RICHARD BLAND FINALLY DOES IT!

Not the most iconic of putts, however a tricky 2 putt under pressure to FINALLY claim his first tour victory after 478 attempts is stuff of dreams! 

EUROPE FINALLY WIN THE RYDER CUP

The first time since the 50’s Europe (newly formed europe) win the 1985 Ryder Cup thanks to Sam Torrence who got the win over the line. A putt not needed, but iconic all the same!

Our Top 5 Moments at the Belfry are all putts and although we are aware there are some incredible moments beyond the putter, we are showcasing the importance of the flatstick!

Introducing Ping G430 Drivers. Go Farther. Faster.

The next generation of speed is here with their biggest jump in the speed-inducing driver. Introducing Ping G430 Drivers. Go Farther. Faster.

The first week on tour saw record numbers with the new G430 driver, especially in ball speeds, giving their tour staff players to make the transition to the latest model. 

As well as their distance gains, Ping also believe their G430 range of drivers remain unequalled for forgiveness. More distance and unrivalled forgiveness are certainly going to be attractive statements for golfers in 2023.

Following on from the previous models, the G430 keeps 3 heads in the line with the MAX (draw bias) the SFT (Straight flight technology) and LST (Low spin technology).

the top high-speed drivers of 2023

The Technology

Optimised T9S+ Forged Face 

A shallower, variable-thickness face is thinner for generating faster ball speed for our biggest distance gains to date. 

Carbonfly Wrap

Exclusive to the 440cc LST is Carbonfly Wrap, a lightweight composite that covers the crown and wraps into the heel and toe sections of the skirt to save weight and lower the CG for more ball speed and higher MOI.

Sound Engineering 

A new internal rib structure and increased curvature of the crown, skirt and sole fine-tunes clubbed frequencies to produce a desirable sound and impact experience. 

Spinsistency

Contributing to the added ball speed is a variable roll radius that improves performance across the T9S+ forged face by reducing spin, resulting in faster speeds that generate consistently longer drives. 

CG Shifters

In the MAX, a 25-gram, high-density tungsten backweight influences shot shape ±8 yards between Draw, Neutral and Fade settings. The LST (low spin) model provides ±7 yards of movement from a 22-gram tungsten weight in the three settings.

Straight Flight Technology

New to the SFT head is a moveable, 22-gram, tungsten backweight that positions the CG to deliver 13 yards of right-to-left shot bend in the Draw setting and another 7 yards in the Draw+ (20 yards total).

Forgiving Heads

Each of the models is engineered to ensure added distance and forgiveness for a variety of skill levels. The MAX (460cc) is the most forgiving and fits the widest range of golfers with three loft options (9°, 10.5°, 12°). The SFT (460cc) produces right-to-left shot correction in one loft (10.5°). At 440cc, the smaller tour-style LST is available in 9° and 10.5° lofts and best fits faster swing speeds.

Adjust Loft  & Lie

To customise ball flight, Trajectory Tuning 2.0 utilizes a lightweight, aerodynamic hosel sleeve that provides eight positions, adjusting for loft (±1.5°) and lie (up to 3° flatter than std.).

G430 High launch Build

In comparison testing, slower-swing-speed golfers gained an average of nine yards off the tee from faster ball speed generated by the lighter system weight of the HL custom build (11g backweight, lightweight PING ALTA Quick shaft, Lamkin UTx grip). Available in the MAX and SFT only.
