Golf on Tour

Westwood and Fitzpatrick taste glory

The season-ending DP World Tour Championship lived up to expectations over the weekend, delivering an incredible tournament with the European Tour’s best golfers battling it out until the final hole. In the end, it was Matthew Fitzpatrick who won the event and took home a cool $3 million for a second time, paring his final hole after a nervy bogey at the 17th to win by one.

But it wasn’t just a one-off event. The Dubai-based finale also saw the Race to Dubai – the tour’s order of merit - come to a close. For much of the week, it looked as though Patrick Reed would secure the title and be the first American to do so. However, after Fitzpatrick’s blistering start on Sunday, he was in pole position. Yet, come to the 72nd hole, it was a certain Mr Lee Westwood who went on to celebrate his third order of merit title at the age of 47.

A fantastic achievement. Maybe his Ryder Cup career isn’t over just yet?

Waterproofs to wear anywhere

It’s no secret that buying a good-quality waterproof jacket is a worthwhile investment; perhaps even more so when it comes to golf since you want to not only stay dry but also move comfortably for 18 holes. That being said, our jacket shouldn’t be restricted to just the course, right?

FootJoy's HydroKnit waterproof jackets

Style is an important factor, too. We want to feel confident in the way we look whatever we’re doing. That’s why FootJoy designed their HydroKnit waterproof jacket to look great both on and off the course.

Whilst the HydroKnit jacket boasts all the golf performance you need, like stretch fabric and breathability, it also has a very smart and stylish appearance that works wherever you go. So, if you’re investing in a waterproof jacket this winter, this is one that you should definitely be considering!

It's in the bag!

You’ve got to be prepared for anything on the golf course, whether that’s somebody shouting ‘FORE!’ behind you or a sudden downpour. Given our local climate, I’d say the latter is a particular worry at the moment.

Video of the Week

There are many people both home and abroad who we'd love to thank for helping us get through the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. This week's video from the European Tour does exactly this, surprising a front-line doctor in Dubai at the season-ending DP World Tour Championship. What a special moment.

Have a great week and remember if you need anything to help you improve your golf come into the shop. Happy golfing.
