Golf on Tour

It's Major week

This weekend's U.S. Open will feature plenty of familiar faces with the likes of Dustin Johnson, Tiger Woods and new-father Rory McIlroy all teeing it up in New York.

Given the dominance of these players in recent years, it might be foolish to look past them when considering who might be crowned champion, but that’s exactly what we’re going to do.

Webb Simpson is certainly worth a look in our eyes. A couple of wins and regular top-10 finishes in the just-finished season means confidence will be sky-high. Speaking of confidence, Collin Morikawa won the PGA Championship in just his second Major start and looks like he’s just warming up.

Will fatherhood have Rory firing or tiring? Can DJ get over the line at another Major? Or is it time for somebody else to take centre-stage at Winged Foot GC? We can't wait to find out!

If the year’s second Major has you itching to play better golf, send us a message below and let us know which part of your game needs the most attention.

Time to layer-up

Evenings are growing a little chillier, but many golfers would say these are the perfect conditions to hit the course. If you’re able to stay warm and comfortable, why wouldn’t you spend autumn playing golf?

Glenmuir's 2020 autumn-winter clothing collection

Whether you’re wearing it on the first tee or stowing it away in your golf bag for later, mid-layers and sweaters really come in handy at this time of year. Having an extra layer that doesn’t restrict your swing can make a huge difference, especially to your enjoyment of the game.

You can stay warm with the freedom to swing in Glenmuir’s latest collection, plus the bonus of stylish looks. Our particular favourite is the Arran quilted mid-layer, but there’s plenty to pick from when you stop by the pro shop on your next visit to Aberdour Golf Club.

The forgotten one

Henrik Stenson and his trusty 3-wood became one of the deadliest duos on Tour, having spent the best part of a decade rubbing shoulders with the world’s greatest golfers. The Swede would be the first to tell you just how much a fairway wood can help improve your scores.

Consider your options off the tee

Far too many golfers don’t realise the value of a fairway wood. If you ever feel unsure in pulling out your driver (and we all do, sometimes), a fairway wood could be the perfect answer.

Wilson Staff D7 fairways

With that in mind, Wilson Staff’s D7 fairway woods are made with a Superlight design to help you generate added speed and distance more easily. The crown also features cast pockets for a more stable, forgiving structure through impact.

Product spotlight | TaylorMade SIM

SIM Ultimate Driving Iron (UDI)

The perfect fairway finder. Available in 18 and 20-degrees, the SIM UDI launches with a penetrating ball flight for maximum performance off the tee.

SIM Driving Hybrid (DHY)

A larger profile than the UDI. The SIM DHY comes with a wider sole for increased versatility and is available in several lofts so you can replace multiple of your harder-to-hit long irons.

Video of the Week

Golf is not an easy sport. However, it can be made a little easier by knowing how to play specific shots, such as out of thick rough or out of a divot. Enjoy this week's video as two European Tour players run through the must-dos when faced with these shots.

I hope you enjoyed my newsletter. If you want any more help or advice please pop into the shop and speak to myself or one of my team.
