Welcome to another edition of our newsletter. This week we look ahead to the finale of the European Tour, cast our eye over the best wedge for distance control, and also show you some of the best golfing holidays on offer this winter. Enjoy the read. |
Moliwood go to battle for top spot... The European Tour will be hoping to match the excitement of the PGA Tour’s finale, with the Race to Dubai close to reaching its season-ending climax. Fresh from their exploits in the Ryder Cup, the ‘Moliwood’ pairing of Francesco Molinari and Tommy Fleetwood are busy occupying the top two spots, with Molinari holding a 1.4 million point lead over Fleetwood, who triumphed in the Race to Dubai last year. Also in contention are Patrick Reed and Rory McIlroy, with the former looking to prove that his Ryder Cup display is well and truly forgotten. Reed will be more at home in the arid conditions than he was at Le Golf National, so he could be one to keep an eye on. It should be a great ending to what has been a memorable season. |
A bone of contention for golfers... Double hitting is a bone of contention for golfers, as it can be difficult to tell when a playing partner has hit the ball twice. The current rule for double hitting (14-4) states that if a player strikes the ball more than once during a stroke, the player must count the stroke and add a penalty stroke for two strokes altogether. However, with the new rules of golf coming into play on 1st January 2019, Rule 10.1a will state that if the player’s club accidentally hits the ball more than once during a single stroke, there will be no penalty. This is down to the fact that as the double hit was not the intention of the player, it was deemed unfair for the player to be penalised. |
Keeping Warm
The days are getting shorter and the temperatures are slowing dropping; summer has gone and winter is on the way. We are very fortunate at South Beds Golf Club because we have a golf course that can withstand pretty much any weather other than snow. This means that we can get out and play on a good golf course for 12 months of the year.
Playing golf during the winter months is only enjoyable if you can keep warm. Our winter apparel and accessories are available to help you do just that.
We have everything you could need for a cold day on the course, from waterproof suits and lined sweaters, to bobble hats and water resistant mittens, from brands including Under Armour, ProQuip, PING, Glenmuir and Cutter & Buck.
Pop in and see what we have to offer to keep you warm and stylish on the golf course this winter!
