Another scorcher of a week at the club and not a drop of rain in sight, there is certainly plenty of run on the ball at the moment. The forecast for the coming week is quite exceptional with temperatures expected to be greater than the Carribean,

Captain & Pro Challenge

Dave and I took on the challenge of Dave Rouse and Terry Morgan on Sunday, both the Captain and Terry had completed 36 holes the previous day, so should be nicely warmed up.

We were off to a very impressive start as we through a couple of bogies and a birdie at them in the first three holes to surprisingly find ourselves 2UP, a few friendly halves before The Captain silenced the opposition with his 4/3 at the 7th and 3UP, four was good enough at the 8th for a 4UP lead and a potential early bath, Terry then shocked himself with a par at the 9th to claw one back, only to give it straight back at the 10th.

We crossed the road 4UP and a halve at 12 kept the score the same, but then the 'door opened" according to Dave Rouse as we both found the left trap at 13, and Dave hit the green, The Capatin told me how bad his bunker play had been right before he duely holed it for a 2 - that didnt go down to well and 5UP, halves at 14 and the contest was over.

Have you worn Under Armour?

They might be one of the new kids on the block when it comes to golf shoes, but Under Armour has a lot to offer!

The most impressive thing is its HOVR cushioning. As the name suggests, it'll have you feeling like you're gliding down the fairways.

We certainly recommend trying a pair - there are several styles available - and that's why we're giving away a FREE shoe bag with each purchase whilst stocks last.

Golf on Tour

Jon Rahm’s stint at the top of the rankings lasted just a single week. All eyes were on Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson to challenge the Spaniard for that top-of-the-world spot. But it was Justin Thomas, slipping under the radar, who reclaimed it with a win at the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational.

If Thomas had gone under the radar beforehand, he certainly didn’t on Sunday. A combination of pink trousers and outstanding golf saw the 27-year-old steal the show, coming from four shots behind overnight leader Brendon Todd, he overtook the likes of Koepka and Rickie Fowler with a 5-under 65 at TPC Southwind.

With so many golfers battling out at the top of the rankings, we want to know how you think is most likely to make a Tiger-esque run and dominate the game in the next decade. Click the button below to have your say on our website poll.

Control your ball, conquer the course

Golf is a very seasonal sport. At this time of year, whilst harder fairways can have your tee shots running for miles, getting your ball to stop quickly on the greens can become a bit of a problem!

Control your ball

During the height of the summer, lots of golfers will choose to land the ball short of certain greens and run it up close to the hole. This is a great approach if you're confident, but there is another way...

Srixon golf balls

The latest Srixon AD333 offers incredible shot-stopping control thanks to the Spin Skin SeRM coating. Another great alternative is Srixon’s UltiSoft balls, both of which are available through us!
