Simon Corp, PGA professional and brand manager, for John Letters, said: "Jeremy is very skilled at what he does and at John Letters we are always looking to make the game more fun and enjoyable to watch and play.

"One of our challenges is to help grow the game and we feel trick-shot shows can achieve this. It's not about the traditional game all the time; we have to evolve and make the game more interesting. I would love to see all golfers trying these shots on the practice ground and making this great game more fun."

The ambidextrous Dale, who was runner-up in the inaugural World Golf Trickshot Championships, performs his awesome show left and right-handed using John Letters equipment after he decided to do away with the ‘joke' clubs so beloved of trick-shot golfers worldwide.

He explained: "I haven't got adapted clubs now. I haven't for some time. I realised everybody was using the same stuff so I developed material which works with normal clubs. I have left-handed and right-handed Master Model drivers, TR47 irons, and a mixture of Tour Black and Tour grind wedges. I also have a Golden Goose putter in the show for my 200-yard shot. That's all I use - and it's all John Letters.

"My show is less about gimmicks and more about the skills involved using the clubs found in every golfer's bag - and available for every golfer to purchase. The main attraction of my show is that I'm really two golfers in one, with the ability to hit the ball equally well right or left-handed - with the same ball flight and very similar looking swings."

Dale, who is based in the Cotswolds and attached to Heythrop Park GC, added: "I use the Master Model driver and it is the only driver I have ever used that can do everything. I can really shape it - a lot - or bomb it miles. It is good for drop volleys, ‘happy Gilmores', high-tee shots and, of course, the normal shots. It can do anything.

"The wedges are lovely too. I often get comments from other left-handed professionals about how nice they look - and they have a perfect bounce angle for pitching too. John Letters clubs have been great for me and I'm only too happy to continue to be an ambassador for such a prestigious brand."

This year sees the affable Dale celebrate 20 years as a trick-shot artist during which time he has performed in almost 40 countries for golf fans, corporate events and even for professional Tour golfers, who, like everybody else, are awestruck by Dale's uncanny ability to display such incredible skill from both sides of the ball. He has performed with some of the biggest names in golf including the late Seve Ballesteros, Gary Player, Colin Montgomerie, Ian Woosnam and Laura Davies.
