I'm Back!

Oops - it's been a while, but I'm back! Got any golf news or found any great offers? Let me know!

The Open

It's finally here! The oldest Golf Championship returns this week – that’s right, it’s time for the 150th Open Championship! The only Major held outside the USA is due to start at Old Course at St Andrews, and there are a handful of British golfers that look to be hitting form at the right time to give themselves a great chance of success. But, can any of them win it?? What do you think?

To Grip??

Does anybody out there re-grip their golf clubs? I had always thought it's part of the way to tell when your golf clubs need updating, but looking at the new range from Black Widow, they look superb! The sales blurb also makes it seem as though it's a game improvement - maybe it's time to give it a try?!

Woods Not Automatic Pick for Ryder Cup

It's all very well Corey Pavin saying that Tiger Woods is not guaranteed an automatic place for the Ryder Cup, but if he's fit, can anyone honestly imagine him not being there? He is such an iconic golfer that the advertisers love, that it's hard to imagine a major golf tournament without him. Any golf tournament without Tiger Woods is worse as a result - he brings in the crowds and his aura inspires the golfers around him to raise their game, even when he isn't playing particularly well.

McIllroy Goes to PGA Tour

Interesting to see that Rory McIllroy has moved over to the PGA Tour, but what does this mean for the European Tour? Is it to be a platform for golfers to move onto bigger and better things? It's almost as if there is a league hierarchy in the golf world, with the PGA Tour being the Premier League!

Great Performance by Ishikawa

Japanese golfer Ryo Ishikawa did exceptionally well at The Crowns! As an 18 year old golfer, a top 10 finish would be considered an achievement, but he went beyond this by not only winning the golf tournament, but also shooting an astonishing 58 on the final day!

He also started the final day 6 shots behind the day 3 leader, making the performance even more impressive. It looks like the young golfer has a great career ahead of him - how long will it be until he is playing regularly on the PGA or European Tour?!
