Tour news

Back in the winner's circle...

It was a 9th PGA Tour win for tour favourite Matt Kuchar, as he claimed victory at the Sony Open in Hawaii. Kuchar carded a final round of 66, finishing on -22, four shots clear of Andrew Putnam in second place. It wasn’t all plain sailing for Kuchar, with bogeys in three of his first five holes on Sunday, but a resurgent back-nine saw a comfortable win in the end.

It was Kuchar’s second win on tour this season, just 64 days after winning the Mayakoba Classic in November; a real change in fortunes, when you consider he had to wait four years between his seventh and eighth PGA Tour victories.

On the Ladies European Tour, England’s Charley Hull took a wire-to-wire triumph at the Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies Open in Abu Dhabi, for her second win on tour. It was a real test of nerve at the finish, with Hull splashing out of a bunker on the 18th, before saving par with a great putt to give her the win by one stroke.

The perfect layers

There’s no such thing as bad weather for golf – just a poor choice of clothing. You might have got away with the old ‘raincheck’ excuse a few years ago, but golf clothing has come a long way since then. All you need to do is make sure you’re properly layered up with golf-specific garments and you’re good to go.

First layer
Marty Tour polo

Mid-layer
Dwayne Tour pullover

Outer-layer
Lance jacket

One such garment is the Lance jacket from Galvin Green; totally windproof, water repellent and high breathablility makes this full-zip jacket a serious force to be reckoned with. It works best with a stylish polo, like the Marty Tour, and a lightweight mid-layer, like the Dwayne Tour, layered underneath.

Nothing but progress

When you’re working out how you want to take the first step to improving your golf game, you can often hit a roadblock straight away. After all, you might have heard every piece of advice from your golfing mates about how to cure that nasty slice, but you’re still carving it right off the tee. Well, we’ve got two foolproof ways of getting your golf ball in play and that handicap tumbling...

Golf Lessons

Doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results is foolish. So, if there’s a part of your game that always lets you down, come and have a lesson with a member of the team – we’ll be able to tailor the session to your exact needs and make sure you leave happy.

Custom Fitting

Lots of new products will be getting released over the coming weeks, so if you’re after something new, make sure you come for a custom fitting to get the most out of any new purchase. You'll really get the VIP treatment and will leave with a much better understanding about your game.
