Tour news

Big Phil takes the bragging rights

The long-awaited match between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson took place last week and, with a combined 19 Majors between them, sparks were expected to fly. Las Vegas was an apt setting for the winner-takes-all event, and there was drama right up to the very last, as Big Phil came away with the $9m prize on the fourth extra hole after Woods had forced a play-off when he chipped in on the 17th.

Whilst the quality of golf wasn't quite up to what we expected, it was certainly a unique way of playing the game and could even be done again in the future - get in touch and let us know your thoughts!

Elsewhere, the European Tour got underway at the Hong Kong Open, with Englishman Aaron Rai fending off a strong challenge from compatriot Matthew Fitzpatrick to win his first title on the tour. Fitzpatrick was within touching distance, but a bogey on the 17th allowed Rai to take the victory on -17, with Fitzpatrick one shot further back.

The Belgian pair of Thomas Pieters and Thomas Detry secured the World Cup of Golf event down under in Australia over the weekend. The Belgian bombers finished three shots ahead of the home favourites Marc Leishman and Cameron Smith, and sealed victory for the first time for their nation.

Style for all occasions

In the past, golf clothing has had the reputation of being “for the golf course” with a call to the fashion police needed if you were to wear it anywhere else. Thankfully, times have changed, and we now have a vast selection of fashionable pieces in-store that you’ll be able to confidently wear both on and off the golf course.

We know some of you are still wearing your baggy golf jacket from years gone by, so here's our suggestion to replace it: FootJoy's DryJoys Select jacket.

If you're shopping on the high street, you'll no doubt be looking for something to keep you dry. Well, this jacket is made from specially engineered fabrics for maximum waterproof protection.

Its stylish design means it can be worn both on and off the course, with golf-specific features such as extra stretch on the shoulders making this the perfect solution to combat the elements this winter.

Divide and conquer

Sometimes in golf, it's the little things which really grind your gears. Take golf bags, for example - the game can be difficult enough when you're not playing your best, but it becomes downright frustrating when you go to take one club out of the bag and the whole set decides to come out with it. It goes both ways, with sometimes just trying to slot a single club back in proving difficult and time-consuming.

Luckily, there's a solution - the Deluxe cart bag from TaylorMade. This bag has a spacious 15-way top making it a must-have if you're struggling to fit your set of clubs into your current bag. The two access handles are perfectly placed for portability, whilst the padded shoulder strap also makes it incredibly comfortable if you want to carry the bag around the course. What’s not to love?

Video of the Week

Hands up if you've failed to get out of a bunker first time before. When the ball's plugged it becomes even harder, so this week's 'Tip from the Tour' is about how to conquer this tricky shot first time, every time.

I hope you enjoyed the newsletter. If you have any questions or need help please pop into the golf shop. Paul and the golf team.
