Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another edition of our newsletter

2019 has been dominated by two things on Tour, slow play and the new rules. This time it was the latter which stole the show after German Marcel Siem failed to realise preferred lies were NOT in play after lifting, cleaning, and placing his ball five-times on the front nine at Le Golf National.

Ten strokes was the penalty and the four-time European Tour winner decided to disqualify himself from the event.

However, that was nothing compared to Lee Ann Walker, who was handed a whopping 58-stroke penalty over two rounds at the Senior LPGA Championship after being unaware that you are no longer allowed to have your caddie line you up.

She won’t make that mistake again!

Enjoy the read.

Don't pack the clubs away yet

October has always been difficult to predict. One minute it's warm enough for just a polo and the next you need an all-singing, all-dancing raincoat. This is why having a lightweight mid-layer is vital to bridge the gap and have you covered whatever the weather throws at you.

Galvin Green's AW19 range

Luckily for you, the deliveries keep on arriving in the pro shop and some of our recent boxes contained Galvin Green's winter clothing range.

We know it's a brand that a lot of you would like to wear, and the Dwight pullover might just be your best option.

Not only is it incredibly soft to the touch and stretchy so it doesn't hamper your swing, but it also provides excellent thermal insulation.

We rate this piece very highly so why not come and try one on for size and see if you agree?

Who had a pair of these?

I'm sure the shoes below will make a lot of you smile. It's been a long time since golf shoes looked like the first image and it's safe to say that comfort, style and traction have all come a long way since then - even if some of us think the overlapping tongues looked great!

Old style shoes

It wasn't just the daring uppers and striking tongue that defined golf shoes from yesteryear; flip the shoes upside down and the hard leather outsole featured single metal spikes that resembled weapons more so than traction pods.

Modern golf shoes

Skechers shoes are known for their outstanding comfort, and the Pro V4 golf shoes are no different. For us, there's nothing more important when walking between 4 to 5 miles a round, so be sure to try a pair of Skechers on next time you're at the club.
