Loving Spoon 2018 (Seniors vs Ladies)
18 players from the Ladies section played against the Seniors section in glorious conditions on Monday. Several of the matches had only two points determining a win or loss, however the Seniors once again avoided defeat winning overall 6.5 to 2.5. As a result, the Loving Spoon stays put on the left side of the fireplace. All the games were played in a good sporting manner with lots of humour throughout. Congratulations to everyone that played today, perhaps 2019 will be the year for the ladies to move the spoon to the other side of the fireplace? |

Best Ryder Cup ever? So that’s it – as quickly as it started, it’s all over. The 2018 Ryder Cup at Le Golf National will go down as one of Team Europe’s best ever performances on home soil, as they came away with a comprehensive 17.5 – 10.5 win over a much-fancied Team USA. Whereas everything seemed to go right for Europe’s captain Thomas Bjorn – from wildcard picks, to pairing Tommy Fleetwood with Francesco Molinari to form the formidable “Moliwood” – his American counterpart Jim Furyk was left to rue some poor decisions. Tiger Woods, fresh from his TOUR Championship win last week, failed to win a single point, whilst Phil Mickelson was woeful for the whole tournament. Both were captain’s picks. |
The standout player for the home team however was surely Francesco Molinari. Having won this year’s Open Championship, the Italian no doubt fancied his chances on a course which placed a premium on shot-making as opposed to bombing huge drives down the fairway. Molinari won all five of his matches, becoming the first European to win five points in one Ryder Cup. What makes this achievement even more remarkable is the fact that prior to this year's contest, Molinari had played six matches across two previous editions without winning a match. He now truly belongs amongst the world’s elite golfers. Special mention should also go to Sergio Garcia – the Spaniard was a controversial wildcard choice from Bjorn, but was a crucial component of Team Europe’s victory. Garcia’s win over Rickie Fowler in the singles saw him become Europe’s leading all-time point-scorer in the Ryder Cup with 25.5 points, overtaking Sir Nick Faldo’s record. |
Have you seen these prices? If you don't already own a Distance Measuring Device then you really are making this game a lot harder for yourself. Not only do they provide accurate distances to the front, middle and back of every green, but they can also double up as a lifestyle watch, too. Until Sunday, we are discounting Garmin's S10 watch by £20 and its S60 watch by £50, so act fast if you wish to take advantage! |

To sleeve or not to sleeve |
Being underprepared when you're out on the course is a blunder which we've all been guilty of making. As the cold weather starts rolling in, you need to start thinking about some layering pieces that keep you warm and dry, but also lets you have freedom of movement during your round. Luckily for you, we have just the answer. |
Under Armour Storm Daytona 1/2 zip Under Armour has given you a perfect solution in the form of this pullover. The stretch panels at the shoulders allow for added mobility in the swing, whilst the double-knit insulation panels pack incredible warmtha and are still soft to the touch. The material also wicks sweat and dries quickly, ensuring a constant body temperature through the whole round. |
