Hello golfers,

Welcome to the latest edition of our newsletter. In this week's email, we have an exclusive interview with Rory McIlroy (scroll down to the bottom to watch), look back at the weekend's Solheim Cup and pose an interesting question to you. Enjoy the read.

Outplayed from start to finish

It was a convincing win for the United States over the weekend as they retained the Solheim Cup with a 16.5-11.5 victory in Iowa. The European team found themselves five points behind heading into Sunday’s singles, partly down to a whitewashing in Friday afternoon’s fourballs, but, in the end, they left themselves with too much to do, being outplayed from start to finish.

Watching golf being played in a team format certainly adds a bit of excitement to the game, and hopefully will have prompted a few of you to get back out on the course over the next week or two. With this in mind, we were wondering which time of the day is your favourite to take to the course. Maybe you prefer to tee off early morning and get round before lunch or you might be the opposite and prefer a quiet evening round when you have the course to yourself? Either way, visit our website via the link below and take August’s poll to let us know.
