Pettersen’s perfect closure The Solheim Cup had us glued to the TV over the weekend and in an ending that came close to matching the miracle in Medinah, Europe’s ladies sealed the win with the final putt of the contest - talk about going down to the wire. The USA needed to reach 14 points to retain the Solheim Cup and with 13.5 points on the board and still two matches in play at A/S, it looked likely that USA captain Juli Inkster would be heading back across the pond with the trophy strapped into first class. However, Bronte Law and Suzann Pettersen had other ideas. Once Law had secured a 2&1 victory on the 17th green, the overall scores were tied on 13.5 apiece with the final match A/S on the 18th. Only winning the hole would do for Pettersen and Europe, and she duly obliged by sinking a pressure birdie putt to send Gleneagles into raptures.

Stars flock to Wentworth The golfing action stays on these shores this week (aren’t we lucky?) as the BMW PGA Championship from Wentworth takes centre stage. Later in the year than usual, the calendar change appears to have worked wonders as a jam-packed field of stars is set to take to the prestigious Surrey course in search for the European Tour's flagship title. Paul Casey, Tony Finau, Rory McIlroy, Francesco Molinari, Patrick Reed and Justin Rose are just some of the A-list players teeing it up this week. We'll bring you the best of the action in next week's newsletter.

Make a £99.98 saving! TaylorMade equipment is played by some of the world's best golfers, such as Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson. In fact, they both use TaylorMade's TP5 or TP5x golf balls, too. They're also some of the longest and straightest guys on Tour, which is partly down to the golf balls and the impressive M5 and M6 drivers. So, for a short time only, we're going to give away two dozen TP5 or TP5x golf balls for FREE with every M5 or M6 driver that we sell - just so you can see the results for yourself. |

Goodbye laces. Hello Boa Technology in today's golf equipment continues to amaze us year-on-year, but it's not just our clubs that are making strides in the tech department. Believe it or not, golf shoes are some of the most advanced products in the market thanks to the evolution of the Boa Fit System, which is replacing traditional laces. Not only does it fasten your shoe, but when the Boa dial is on the heel of your shoe, it pulls your foot back and down to provide the perfect fit for extreme comfort and stability out on the course. |

This might sound a little complicated but just give us a chance on this one... Urethane vs Ionomer? Both are materials used on the cover of golf balls but what is the difference between them and how does each affect your game? |
TaylorMade TP5 - Urethane cover You'll usually find that balls at the premium end of the market, like the TP5 and TP5x, have Urethane covers due to its noticeably softer feel and fantastic feedback, which is why they're the go-to choice for many Tour pros.
|
TaylorMade Project (s) - Ionomer cover On the other hand, Ionomer is cheaper to produce which is why you'll find them on less expensive balls, like the Project (s). These balls tend to spin less off the tee, which is why Ionomer features on balls that prioritise distance over feel. |
