Hello Golfers,

Well, what a Ryder Cup that was! A fantastic course that was perfect for the event, Thomas Björn must be delighted with his Captains picks as they contributed to half of the team’s 17.5 point tally.

Competition news

You against the course!

The Crowther Cup par/bogey competition was played last Sunday, this different format played against the course is always a popular event. David Ahmad led the way with a fine +5, he narrowly pipped Dean White on +4, Paul Fitzgerald a further shot back on +3.

A two last weekend was worth a whopping £26.57, Steve Clarke made two 2s on 13th and 18th for £53.14!

Highland Links Pro Am

This week I was very kindly invited to play in the Highland Links Pro Am with Dave Grannell, Chris Gimson and Malcolm Watson. The event is played over Royal Dornoch, Nairn and Castle Stuart.

We had three fantastic days, on three great courses, playing the usual format of best 2 scores from 4, Stableford. We managed 86 points at Dornoch with Dave having a great day on the links, Chris improved dramatically after topping his first tee shot! We scored 76 at Nairn in a three club wind with Dave deciding he would have a rest until the16th. Finally we had 90 points at Castle Stuart where we all played nicely, even Malcolm appeared with a couple of birdies to finish in a very creditable 7th spot out of 85 teams. In the individual event I scored 71, 73, 71 for a share of 26th spot.

Sweep winners at Castle Stuart and runners up at Nairn!

To sleeve or not to sleeve

Being underprepared when you're out on the course is a blunder which we've all been guilty of making. As the cold weather starts rolling in, you need to start thinking about some layering pieces that keep you warm and dry, but also lets you have freedom of movement during your round. Luckily for you, we have just the answer.

Under Armour Storm Daytona 1/2 zip

Under Armour has given you a perfect solution in the form of this pullover. The stretch panels at the shoulders allow for added mobility in the swing, whilst the double-knit insulation panels pack incredible warmtha and are still soft to the touch. The material also wicks sweat and dries quickly, ensuring a constant body temperature through the whole round.

Under Armour Storm Daytona vest

If you prefer the gilet look, why not try this Storm Daytona vest? It has all the same features as its 1/2 zip counterpart, making for minimal distractions during your round. The three colourway choices are all distinctive and unique in their own right, and add a nice dose of style into the mix.

The best of the best

Some fantastic iron sets have been released over the course of 2018, but it's still Titleist's range of 718 irons from 12 months ago that continue to impress many of you during custom fittings.

Distance and Forgiveness
Titleist AP1

If you're looking to see your handicap tumble, this model from Titleist should be on your list.

Yes, you'll get maximum distance and forgiveness from the AP1, but what we love most is the attention to detail: the 5 and 4 irons have a hollow body design, making them easier to launch along with being more forgiving on mis-hits.

Playability and Precision
Titleist CB

If you're a low handicap golfer looking to upgrade your set, come and try out the impressive 718 CB.

A tour-preferred profile gives these cavity back irons a clean look for the better player, whilst the forged heads also make for a more responsive feel, giving you the feedback you need as you look to hone in on the pin.

Players' Distance Iron
Titleist AP3

The AP3 is the newest model within Titleist's line-up, aiming to fill a gap within their range.

Traditionally, you'd have to compromise on looks if you wanted a distance-orientated iron. However, the AP3 from Titleist maintains the classic players' shape and feel for enhanced playability, whilst offering impressive distance.

Spotlight: New Srixon balls

When you've got a great product, there's no need to make wholesale changes just for the sake of it but, instead, little refinements can go a long way.

This is exactly what Srixon has done in the new Soft Feel and UltiSoft golf balls for 2018. The Soft Feel is ideal for golfers looking to maximise distance, whereas the UltiSoft is the choice for slower swinging golfers - both of which are available in-store now.
