THE GAMECHANGER There is a reason why the face of a golf club has slots in it and a reason why a golf ball has dimples arranged in a certain way, they are not just there to make things look pretty and technical, and they’re there to aid your game. What’s the point of buying a set of irons worth £700 and a pack of balls at £40 if you let the tech fill up with mud and dirt? Well most amateur golfers allow this to happen, especially in the winter. All that should now change with the arrival of the Green Sleeve. You’ll never see a Pro play with grubby equipment and you’ll hardly ever see a low handicapper play with ball covered in mud, the simple reason being that the smallest imperfection has an impact on a game that is played with the smallest margins for error. Green Sleeve is a must have piece of equipment that you never thought you would need, it’s simple, it’s small and it doesn’t cost the earth but it can genuinely help you improve your scores. Oliver Nimenko the designer of the Green Sleeve made the simple observation that all the better players he played with had spotless balls when they putted, so he started doing the same, it instantly transformed his game, the ball rolled truer and more putts were sunk. Rubbing the ball on your golf trousers isn’t enough and Oliver didn’t want have to drag his golf towel on to the green on every hole so he got to work on creating a small “put in your pocket” product that was quick and easy to use. The Green Sleeve was born. The Green Sleeve is a pocket ball cleaner with a deep cleaning microfiber center that easily removes dirt from your club face and golf ball, helping to keep you gear in tip top condition. It comes in a range of off the shelf designs but the product can also be personalised for the individual or corporate golf client. The product is only as good as its users so if you don’t use it to look after your clubs and balls it won’t help you look after and improve your game. If the action of cleaning your kit is built in to your pre shot routine then the Green sleeve helps the technology at your disposal work at its optimum. Simply run your ball through the sleeve before your putts, or clean the face of you club as part of your pre shot routine and the microfiber center effortless removes the excess dirt from your equipment. The product has already sold incredibly well in the US and Ladies European Tour player Liz Young rates the product so much she has recently become and ambassador for the brand but where the Green Sleeve really does come in to its own is on the winter/spring fairways of the UK’s courses. For the small price of £8.99 it’s definitely worth grabbing one of these from their website or your pro shop, if you’re looking to shave a few shots of your round, the Green Sleeve can truly help.
