It’s very easy for a manufacturer to slap a new coat of paint (normally pink, lavender if you’re lucky), stick in a lighter shaft, and tell you it’s a ladies set. But they aren’t really ladies clubs, and aren’t designed to help with their golfing problems. Taylormade have set out to design a set of clubs specifically built for the female golf swing.
I’ve just come back from a top secret launch in Dubai. Playing with different clubs, on jet lag, in the desert, I had an absolute dog of a round. But I’d have fancied my chances of beating 92 if I'd added it up. Poor Weiyu Zhu didn’t at the Australian Open
We've had trusty rusty’s, and black oxides, via satin chromes and oil cans. Wedge finishes come and go like the weather, and this years en vogue colour is blue. Wilson have joined Mizuno in having a blue wedge. Two’s a trend right?
What does Gareth Bale do when he's not growing his hair, wearing Alice bands, playing indifferently at Real Madrid, and waiting on that call from Manchester United? Well he's playing golf. And now he's building his own three hole course.
There is nothing worse. You are set up to smash another one down the fairway, you’ve practiced the swing, psyched yourself up...but wait...the guys in front of you are still ambling along without a care in the world. The moment is lost. By the time you finally get to hit your shot...you duff it into the rough somewhere.
Jordan Speith will be treating the Olympics in 2016 as if were “a fifth major.” And he really wants to enjoy the whole experience, which is what the Olympics is all about for competitors.
It's without doubt been a disappointing season for Adam Scott, who needs a late win to secure his record of a tour win every season, which is what he has done for the last 14 consecutive years. In front of what will undoubtedly be a highly partisan Ozzie crowd, Scott is properly pumped up for the occasion.
On Monday, the USGA announced a new provision that made rounds played alone no longer acceptable for handicap purposes. Golfers everywhere have been up in arms about this, and now Canada has come out against it.
No player ever likes to hit a spectator. But Graeme McDowell managed to do so on Sunday at the RSM Classic. The fan though was no ordinary fan. It as Kevin Kisner’s mum!
Dolphin Capital have just announced the opening of its latest project, the Amanera resort, to include the fully renovated Playa Grande Golf Course and the latest Aman hotel, Amanera.
The season is over...time to relax. We wish! The Race to Dubai may have finished on Sunday but the new season on the European Tour kicks off on Thursday at the Leopard Creek Country Club in South Africa for the Alfred Dunhill Championship. Fancy placing a bet? Well these guys may be worth taking a punt on.
Here at GolfPunk we like to celebrate our Swinging Sirens. But what about the first swinging siren? A trailblazer for our game in Golf's earlier days.
