Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another edition of our newsletter. In this week’s mail we cast an eye over some great golfing destinations abroad to help you beat those winter blues, we take a look at some products that will really help your game, and we'll also be discussing the Ryder Cup teams with one pick remaining.

Enjoy the read.

Club news

What a week!

It’s been a great couple of days at the Club with Michael Hebron conducting an amazing coaching seminar. Some of the best PGA Professionals in the UK & Ireland were in attendance. It was also great to see a good number of our club members attending too. Thanks so much to Michael for his insights, knowledge and taking the time out to come over and share with us in Scotland

PS Not even some escaping cows could put the great man off his stride! See pics below!

Tour news

All roads lead to Paris…

The finale of the Made in Denmark tournament was an all-English affair, with a four-way play-off between Lee Westwood, Jonathan ‘Jigger’ Thomson, Steven Brown and eventual winner Matt Wallace. The tournament was played at the home course of Ryder Cup Captain, Thomas Bjorn, and the event has become a firm favourite with both players and fans alike. Due to the European Tour tournament rescheduling that will take place next year, the Made in Denmark will move to the week of BMW PGA at Wentworth and hopes to attract even more big names.

The automatic picks for Europe’s Ryder Cup team were also decided in Denmark, but I’m sure you are all now talking about the Captain’s wildcard picks that took place on Wednesday. The American team still have one pick remaining with the finale of the FedExCup unfolding over the next few weeks and all eyes on East Lake for the next 10-million-dollar man!

Let me know your thoughts here on the wildcard picks.
