Hello Golfers,

We hope you're well!

As always, this week's email is packed full of useful topics to help you get the most from your game. If you have any questions for the team or would like advice on anything, we're always happy to help! Just drop us an email.

Enjoy the read.

Golf on Tour

It's not over yet!

The golfing season would have pretty much finished by this point if it were a ‘normal year’. The men’s game would have named its four Major champions, the women’s game its five big winners, and another cracking Ryder Cup enjoyed.

Sadly, this hasn’t been the case but the good – okay, great - news is that there are still two Majors left to play: an autumnal Masters Tournament from Augusta National and the U.S Women’s Open from Champions Golf Club.

We'll find out who'll be wearing the Green Jacket in just a couple of weeks, and the world’s best are certainly finding their A-games in preparation. Patrick Cantlay won the weekend’s Zozo Championship by one shot from Justin Thomas and Jon Rahm; Rory McIlroy made a record-breaking 29 birdies over the same four days, albeit he mixed them with 8 bogeys and 3 doubles; Hatton and Fitzpatrick are performing well both sides of the Atlantic; DJ is fresh off the back of his FedEx Cup triumph and Bryson is testing longer driver shafts as his looks to dominate Augusta.

We’d love to know who you think has the best chance of winning this year’s Masters. Also, are you excited to see how Augusta plays in November compared to its traditional April slot? Send us a message via the button here.

Just keep spinning

Picture the scene: It’s pouring with rain, you’re out on the course, wedge in hand, staring at the pin. Hopefully, you’re dressed for the occasion - wrapped up in your waterproofs and woolly hat - but is your wedge ready to perform in the wet?

Available through us

Clothing for the cold

We can’t control the weather, but we can protect ourselves from it. Unfortunately, it is starting to get colder outside but that doesn’t mean golf has to be put on hold, though, does it? Enter Galvin Green's stunning collection for this winter, available at Bradfield College Sports Complex.

When it comes to layering up in winter, there's no better brand than Galvin Green. Two of our favourite pieces are the Dwight sweater and the Denzel body-warmer, both of which boast the Swedish brand's revolutionary Insula technology.

This technology keeps you insulated, retaining your body heat during cold weather. The stretch fabric also allows you to swing the club without restriction. Of course, if you want to explore the full range, visit our website using the button below.

Mizuno ES21 Wedges

If you're in the market for new wedges, here are two reasons why you need to seriously consider Mizuno's new ES21 option, available at Bradfield College Sports Complex:

A more central sweet spot increases spin shot after shot
Unique grooves release moisture in wet conditions to reduce performance drop off

Given that we're heading into winter, the second point could be vital in saving you shots around the greens!
