Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another edition of our newsletter.

Austrian Bernd Wiesberger claimed the throne of Scottish golf on Sunday with a dramatic playoff victory over Frenchman Benjamin Herbert at The Renaissance Club. In a strong Scottish Open field featuring the likes of Justin Thomas, Ricki Fowler and Rory McIlroy, no one could match Wiesberger and Herbert (who fired in a final round 62) as a playoff beckoned.

Three holes it lasted as the pressure told on the Frenchman after scuppering two golden chances to win thus allowing Wiesberger to creep over the line with a simple par at the 18th.

The win marks Wiesberger second victory of the year and sixth European Tour title. However, Herbert will get his chance for revenge as both players will take to the field in this week’s Open Championship in what promises to be a thrilling event at Royal Portrush.

Enjoy!

More bang for your buck

Golf clothing has come a long way from the old-style knickerbockers worn in the early 1900s - you can hardly imagine popping to the supermarket in a pair of those today. Fortunately, these days, golf brands make clothing that is high performing on the course but looks good enough to set the trend off it too.

FootJoy SS19 apparel

Take this polo from FootJoy. The attention is certainly in the detail with the foulard print trim on the button placket offering a classy addition to an already smart-looking polo. Even technology comes to the fore as the top's moisture-wicking properties make sure that, when it comes to the course, you are primed for performance.

This polo is a worthy addition to any golfing wardrobe, so come in and take a closer look at FJ's range next time you're down the club.

You’ve got 40 seconds

Slow play - just saying it makes the hairs on the back of our neck stand up. Since the dawn of time, it’s been an issue on golf courses all over the world but golf’s governing bodies are doing all they can to try and eradicate it, including a change to the Rules of Golf for 2019.

Who remembers Edoardo Molinari’s famous slow play tweet back in April? To refresh your memory, the Italian published a European Tour slow play list after being disillusioned with a round that took five-and-a-half hours at the Trophee Hassan II tournament.

It caused much uproar and once again highlighted the issue of slow play. This is an area golf’s governing bodies are taking seriously and even introduced a new recommendation that a player should take no more than 40-seconds to play their shot once they have reached their ball.

Ready golf is also encouraged in strokeplay, meaning players should play their shot when they are ready rather than adhere to the ‘farthest from the hole plays first’ rule – just make sure to agree this with your playing partners before heading out.
