Tour news

Get shorty

Spaniard Pablo Larrazabal held on to win the Alfred Dunhill Championship by a single shot from Joel Sjoholm despite a final round 3-over-75.

However, that was not the story making the headlines.

For the first time on the European Tour, the competing players were allowed to wear shorts during the tournament due to the sweltering temperatures at Leopard Creek, South Africa.

Shorts had previously been restricted to just practice rounds and pro-ams across the board but discussions between players, European Tour CEO Keith Pelley, and tournament host Johann Rupert led to the decision to relax the rules - but for this tournament only!

So, what do you think? Was this the right call? Or would you rather golf at the elite level stuck to the long-standing tradition of trousers only?

How times have changed

We've got a little task for you. Next time you're down the club on a busy day, have a look around and count how many golfers are using an electric trolley compared to those that aren't. We think the number might surprise you...

Waterproofs. Mittens. Woolly hat.

Golf at this time of the year requires the lot, which can make carrying your golf bag an absolute nightmare!

However, utilising an electric trolley - like 66% of club golfers - allows you to pack your bag with everything you need and more without it weighing you down for 18 holes.

One trolley we really like is the M-TECH from Motocaddy, which was released earlier this year and shows just how far electric trolleys have come.

Luxury polished chrome detailing, a super-lightweight design and an electronic parking brake are just three of its features that we love, but click the link below to view more.

Don't let the rain spoil your game

Don’t let a little rain stop you from getting out on the course and exercising this winter. With ProQuip’s range of wet weather clothing, you can be assured that you’ll remain dry and comfortable throughout your round, no matter how long it decides to rain for.

ProQuip Pro-Flex EVO waterproof jacket

If you’re wearing a waterproof suit that's several years old, it might be time for you to consider upgrading to a new and improved version.

Not only do you need something that is fully waterproof, but it needs to fit well without being too restrictive during your swing.

This is why we love ProQuip's Pro-Flex EVO jacket, because it's lightweight, versatile and stylish enough for you to wear every day.

This really is one of our favourite jackets of 2019, so come in-store to try it on the next time you're down the club.

For all the clubs in your bag, having maximum confidence in your wedges is key when it comes to your performance out on the course. One brand that we recommend trying is TaylorMade, and here's our review video on their new wedges for 2019. Enjoy!
