Winter Wheels
The Winter Wheel rule is now in place at Brampton Park, just a reminder that if you haven’t done so yet pop into the pro shop and ask the team which wheels are right for you. If you are not using hedgehog or winter wheels the please can we remind you that golfers must use the 90 degree rule, pushing your trolley in the rough, then walking across to your ball. The support of winter wheels has been fantastic so far and it’s great to see so many people doing their bit to protect the course throughout the winter.

Big Phil takes the bragging rights The long-awaited match between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson took place last week and, with a combined 19 Majors between them, sparks were expected to fly. Las Vegas was an apt setting for the winner-takes-all event, and there was drama right up to the very last, as Big Phil came away with the $9m prize on the fourth extra hole after Woods had forced a play-off when he chipped in on the 17th. Whilst the quality of golf wasn't quite up to what we expected, it was certainly a unique way of playing the game and could even be done again in the future - get in touch and let us know your thoughts! Elsewhere, the European Tour got underway at the Hong Kong Open, with Englishman Aaron Rai fending off a strong challenge from compatriot Matthew Fitzpatrick to win his first title on the tour. Fitzpatrick was within touching distance, but a bogey on the 17th allowed Rai to take the victory on -17, with Fitzpatrick one shot further back. The Belgian pair of Thomas Pieters and Thomas Detry secured the World Cup of Golf event down under in Australia over the weekend. The Belgian bombers finished three shots ahead of the home favourites Marc Leishman and Cameron Smith, and sealed victory for the first time for their nation. |
In the past, golf clothing has had the reputation of being “for the golf course” with a call to the fashion police needed if you were to wear it anywhere else. Thankfully, times have changed, and we now have a vast selection of fashionable pieces in-store that you’ll be able to confidently wear both on and off the golf course.

We know some of you are still wearing your baggy golf jacket from years gone by, so here's our suggestion to replace it: FootJoy's DryJoys Select jacket. |
If you're shopping on the high street, you'll no doubt be looking for something to keep you dry. Well, this jacket is made from specially engineered fabrics for maximum waterproof protection. |
Its stylish design means it can be worn both on and off the course, with golf-specific features such as extra stretch on the shoulders making this the perfect solution to combat the elements this winter. |
