The winner of December's Nedbank Golf Challenge shares his thoughts on some of the best ways to lower your scores

1 PUTTING
One of the things I see with amateurs is that a lot of amateurs can't start their putts online. Find a straight 6ft putt and put two tees 2ft in front of you. Start by making sure the two ball-widths apart and just try to roll it between the tees over and over. Then adjust your sight to where you can look at the hole and those tees. You then know that's where you need to roll it through. The better you are, the narrower the gate should be.
2 THE HANDS IN CHIPPING
Many players use their hands too much when chipping. Everyone talks about someone having good hands, but a lot of the best chippers don't use their hands at all. What it is, is very rhythmic motion to keep the triangle between your shoulders and arms together.
Many amateurs drag the club back on the inside with their hands, which leads to timing issues. If you can keep it a little wider on the way back and get the grip end of the club pointing at your left rib cage the entire time, that will lead to far more consistent strikes.

TAYLORMADE SPIDER 5K-ZT PUTTER £449
The TaylorMade Spider family of putters has enjoyed resounding success across all professional tours and is widely regarded as one of the best ranges on the market, so how did the new Spider 5K-ZT model stack up against other zero-torque putters? The first thing I noticed when unboxing the club was its electric blue headcover, and, while it may sound odd, I think this sets the tone for the rest of the putter.

MOTOCADDY QB2 PUSH TROLLEY £219.99
It has taken Motocaddy eight years to replace its incredibly successful Cube push trolley. This kind of product life cycle is a huge rarity in this industry and testament to the quality of the original. So, 2025 finally brings the sequel – the QB2. Can it be the Godfather Part II of the push cart world (an excellent sequel), or will it turn out to be more of a Jaws II (a not-so-great follow-on).

HOW AI COULD BOOST CLUB PERFORMANCE
The prospect of AI-powered golf clubs isn’t just about hitting the ball further; it’s about a personalised, adaptive experience that could completely revolutionise how we play. Don't get me wrong, I'm not claiming to be a prophet here, as we're already seeing the use of AI on products like Callaway drivers. But we could just be scratching the surface.
