Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another edition of our newsletter. This week, we look back at the European Tour finale in Dubai, give you the lowdown on how important dimples are to your golf ball's performance, as well as give you the results from a recent poll on our website.

Enjoy the read.

Tour news

The will to win

The European Tour season came to an end last week in Dubai, It was really good to see Danny Willett win it too. He’s had a tough couple of year’s golf wise since winning the Masters so to see him back winning was really good to see. As quick as the season was over, it’s started again In Hong Kong so there’s no rest! Paul Waring is back out early next year hoping for another great season.

Fellow Englishman Tommy Fleetwood needed to secure victory to have any chance of overhauling his close friend Francesco Molinari at the top of the Race to Dubai standings. As a result, the Italian was confirmed as Europe’s number one golfer, capping off a truly memorable season with two tournament wins (including The Open Championship) and a record-breaking Ryder Cup performance in Paris.

Competition news

Men's Waltz

The men’s competition on Saturday was a Waltz so if you saw groups of men dancing down the fairways, that was why. The best dancers of the day were Steve Stewart, Neil Dermott, John Dermott and Paul Barlow with 75 points.

Second place was taken by the Captain, Mark Richards, Les Flanagan and Gary Molyneux with 72 points.

A single point further back were the team of Richie Barzu, John Parry, Andy Dillon and Tony Humphries.

I’ve seen Tony’s Waltz and it’s pretty special! No one really had a clue what a good score was in that format so take note of the winning score for next time.

Ladies results

The ladies played in a very cold wind on Tuesday whilst I was sat by the heater on full blast which I think was the best place. I think everyone who played deserves to win but there can only be one and that was Pam Darch with 56 points. Enid Roberts was the runner up with 55 points in the Hidden Holes format.

The results are in...

A couple of weeks ago we asked you to think about which part of your game had let you down the most in 2018. Well, the results are in and it looks like finding the fairway off the tee is the biggest cause of concern, with 30% of you choosing driving as your answer. Short game areas also feature heavily; with wedges and putting combined racking up over a third of the votes.

It's probably a good time to remind you that we can tailor your lessons to focus on the area of your game that you want to work on the most – everything from putting through to driving. So, if you want to make 2019 your best year yet, get in touch via the link below to book your lesson.

I know the weather has turned a little ‘cool’ recently but we hope to see you out on the golf course over the coming weeks.

Stars in your eyes

We all want to emulate our golfing heroes. From the shots they manage to hit on the course to the latest apparel they wear with such great style, we'd give anything to be in their shoes for a day. Whilst the former might take a little longer to accomplish, you can certainly look like them in an instant.

The ProQuip Pro-Flex EVO jacket is one of the most stylish products on the market today. Its classic design will have you looking extremely sleek out on the course, plus it's packed with golf-specific technology such as four-way stretch and Teflon coating for complete waterproofing you can trust. What's not to love?

New balls, please

Sometimes we can overlook the small details. Take your golf ball for example; you might be getting by on picking any old ball from your bag, but have you ever wondered just how much of a difference a brand new golf ball will make to your overall performance?

Believe it or not...

Tour professionals change their ball every three to four holes - some even after every hole - so why would you want to use a golf ball that you found on the course sometime last year, that has been from tree to tree with the scuff marks and discolouration to prove it?

Here's the answer...

A ball's dimples are designed to make it more aerodynamic and fly further through the air, so when they're worn it will affect each shot. We particularly like Callaway's Supersoft ball, which features a special dimple pattern that reduces drag and increases stability in the air.
