An ace week for Master Eddie

The British Masters took place at Walton Heath in Surrey last week and was hosted by the local favourite, Justin Rose. The tournament had a stark weather contrast from start to finish with conditions declining and making it a real grind for the players. The caddies were certainly tested during the final round trying to keep their players warm and dry. It was a day of umbrellas, waterproofs and wearing the correct layering, which at this time of year can help or hinder your round.

The tournament winner was Eddie Pepperell who dealt with the conditions the best and led from start to finish to claim a two shot victory. Eddie’s highlight of the week was his impressive hole in one on Thursday at the ninth hole, earning £20,000 for charity and a celebratory bottle of wine from the tournament host. Pepperell now moves up to 33rd in the world rankings and with it an invite to next year’s biggest tournaments including his first trip to The Masters at Augusta.

Accuracy over distance

If you watched the Ryder Cup last month then one thing should have become clear to you: finding the fairway off the tee is a must. Whilst distance does help, there's no point thrashing a drive as far as you can if you don't hit the fairway, finding yourself cutting down trees as a result - as depicted in the illustration below.

Find the short stuff

In order to shoot lower scores you need to put a premium on finding the fairway, something that a custom fitting for Lynx's #BB driver will certainly help with. Designed for maximum accuracy off the tee, the #BB features a forgiving 460cc headshape, minimizing the damage of off-centre strikes. The 3g sliding weights allow us to set up your driver to counter your destructive miss.

Shake off a shower

As winter approaches, we can expect a lot of things with one certainty being rain, and a lot of it. We all know what this can lead to - feeling soaked out on the course, a barely readable scorecard and, in some cases, just a generally miserable round of golf. Enter, golf-specific waterproofs….

Those disgruntled feelings of being drenched during your 18 holes will be a thing of the past once you've got your hands on ProQuip's Pro-Flex EVO jacket. The fabric features a Four-Way mechanical stretch, meaning your swing won't be affected by the extra layer, boosted by the Swing Silent Technology which limits noise distraction. There's no chance of rain getting in either, thanks to the jacket's Teflon coating.

Have a good week.
