GolfMagic Readers reveal which brands they use across each category!

GolfMagic recently ran its 'Big Survey', of which some of the most notable questions asked our readers to identify the brands they use when it comes to their driver, irons, putter and golf balls as we head into 2021. 

Our survey - reflective of more than 1,000 GolfMagic Readers based in the United Kingdom - also quizzed our readers as to where they are most likely to purchase their next set of golf clubs from. 

To gain an even deeper insight into our readers' choices when it comes to golf equipment right now, we divided each question up into those that were playing with a handicap of 12 or less, and those with a handicap of 13 or more.
