Pro's news

Best Ryder Cup ever?

So that’s it, as quickly as it started, it’s all over. The 2018 Ryder Cup at Le Golf National will go down as one of Team Europe’s best ever performances on home soil, as they came away with a comprehensive 17.5 – 10.5 win over a much-fancied Team USA.

Whereas everything seemed to go right for Europe’s captain Thomas Bjorn; from wildcard picks, to pairing Tommy Fleetwood with Francesco Molinari to form the formidable “Moliwood”, his American counterpart Jim Furyk was left to rue some poor decisions. Tiger Woods, fresh from his TOUR Championship win last week, failed to win a single point, whilst Phil Mickelson was woeful for the whole tournament. Both were captain’s picks.

The standout player for the home team however was surely Francesco Molinari. Having won this year’s Open Championship, the Italian no doubt fancied his chances on a course which placed a premium on shot-making as opposed to bombing huge drives down the fairway. Molinari won all five of his matches, becoming the first European to win five points in one Ryder Cup. What makes this achievement even more remarkable is the fact that prior to this year's contest, Molinari had played six matches across two previous editions without winning a match. He now truly belongs amongst the world’s elite golfers.

Special mention should also go to Sergio Garcia, the Spaniard was a controversial wildcard choice from Bjorn, but was a crucial component of Team Europe’s victory. Garcia’s win over Rickie Fowler in the singles yesterday saw him become Europe’s leading all-time point-scorer in the Ryder Cup with 25.5 points, overtaking Sir Nick Faldo’s record.

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.

Glenmuir Munro Zip Neck sweater

Glenmuir has given you a perfect solution in the form of its Munro Zip Neck sweater. The cashmere-cotton combination makes it a great choice for those of you looking for a soft and warm jumper when you're out on the course. Plus, its lightweight fabric enhances your freedom of movement with minimal restriction, making this the perfect golfing mid-layer.

Glenmuir Thurso Padded gilet

If you prefer the sleeveless approach, why not try this sleeveless gilet? Made from a stretch fabric, it not only helps you swing the club easily despite the extra layer, but also allows for a superior fit. It comes in a choice of three stunning colourways, and is flexible enough for you to wear a pullover underneath on the chilliest of days.

The best of the best

Some fantastic iron sets have been released over the course of 2018 and here are our top picks for everyone from high-handicappers to scratch golfers. We stock multiple brands in-store so do come and speak to us about which clubs will be best suited to your game.

Game Improvement Irons
PING G700

If you want to see your handicap tumble then be sure to take a look at this model from PING. It's been designed to offer a higher launch and more forgiveness on mishits - something that will benefit all golfers. But this doesn't come with a compromise on looks, as the G700's sleek design will boost your confidence at address.

Players' Irons
PING i500

This iron model is ideal for any single-figure golfers looking to take their game to the next level. Its forged face results in faster ball speeds and longer, higher-trajectory shots - meaning you'll be hitting one club less into the greens. Couple this with its compact, blade-style finish and you have the perfect players' iron.

Ladies Iron Model
PING G Le

We've had plenty of female golfers leave the pro shop satisfied after being fitted for PING's lady specific G Le range. These steel irons have been optimised for women's swing speeds, making it easier to square up the face and hit straighter and longer shots, even if struck off-centre.

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.
