Tour news

Entering His Prime?

“I’m getting older, but I feel I’m getting better” – Paul Casey.

There’s hope for us all yet then. 41-year-old Englishman Paul Casey claimed his own piece of PGA Tour history by becoming the first man to successfully defend the Valspar Championship at the weekend.

For Casey, it seems victories are like buses; you wait nine years between tournament wins and then two come along in the space of 12-months, and it could not have come at a better time. Three weeks out from The Masters, the entire field toiled during windy conditions on the Copperhead Course but, despite shooting a 1-over 72 on Sunday, Casey held his nerve to steal a one-shot victory.

Before Sunday's play commenced, many thought it would be a Ryder Cup-style shootout between world number one Dustin Johnson and Casey. However, this never really materialised as DJ struggled to his first over-par final round since the Genesis Open (mid-Februray!) with a three-over-par 74.

With no birdies, it also proved to be the first time since the 2017 WGC HSBC-Championship that Johnson failed to record a single hole under par in a final round. Despite this, the American still ended tied-sixth for his fourth straight top-ten finish; not bad for an off day.

Look good, feel good

It's certainly a lot easier to play better golf when you feel good about yourself and your game. Whilst you might not always be 'on-the-money' with your swing, you certainly have no excuse when it comes to what you're wearing.

Glenmuir SS19 clothing

Glenmuir's latest collection for spring/summer '19 oozes style and is, without doubt, one of their best clothing ranges to date.

The main thing we love this year is Glenmuir's combination of striking colours and subtle styling, enabling them to create a fashionable range that wouldn't look out of place off the course either.

We've got Glenmuir's fantastic collection displayed in-store for you to try on, as well as some beautiful club-crested garments too.

Video of the Week

Best known for their beautiful forged irons and impeccable craftsmanship, Mizuno is a brand that has released outstanding product year-on-year for decades. This year, it's the turn of their metalwoods to get an update and the ST190/ST190G drivers for 2019 are hugely impressive, as this video shows.

I hope you enjoyed our newsletter. If you need any further help or advice please pop into the shop and one of our team will be happy to assist you. Richard and the golf team.
