Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another edition of our newsletter.

The last major of the LPGA season for 2018 was played over the course of last week, with American Angela Stanford coming out on top. Stanford finished on -12 to win the Evian Championship, one shot ahead of compatriot Amy Olson, who double-bogeyed the last. Stanford's first major win comes at the age of 40, proving that determination and desire does eventually pay off.

Enjoy this week's read.

 
 
Pressure putts

With the Ryder Cup coming up next week, we can expect plenty of tense moments, particularly on the greens. You’ll probably notice that players on both sides will have the ability to hole out under huge amounts of pressure – who can forget Ian Poulter’s clutch putt on the 16th green at Medinah in 2012?

Hole out

Find a putter you can trust
To replicate these kind of putts, whether that's in the monthly medal or playing for money with your friends, you need to choose a flatstick you can trust.

Why not try out TaylorMade’s TP Red-White Ardmore 3 putter, which enhances performance thanks to an enhanced alignment system after feedback from some of the Tour's best putters. 

It also found its way into the bag of a certain Tiger Woods earlier this year, so is definitely worth a go if you want to start holing putts like a 14-time Major champion.

A sticky situation

The proposed changes to the Rules of Golf are less than four months away, so we thought we’d take a look at one introduction that you may not have been aware of…

Rules of Golf

Under the current Rules of Golf, if a player makes a stroke on the putting green and the ball then hits the unattended flagstick that was left in the hole, the player gets the general penalty (17-3).

However, under the proposed changes, there will be no penalty if a ball played from the putting greens hits a flagstick left in the hole (13.2b). Players will be able to choose whether they want the flagstick left in, removed or attended.

The R&A say this change will improve the general speed of play but be careful, the ball can easily bounce out of the hole when hitting a flag!
