It was an early alarm for the final day of the Stena Line Media Masters 2019. As we stumbled down to another fine breakfast at the Druids Glen Hotel thoughts turned to the eight singles matches which were to take place at Powerscourt Golf Club. I had heard great reports of the courses at Powerscourt and so was looking forward to another great test of golf. I was not to be disappointed.
GolfPunk takes on the Bridgestone Challenge with up and coming Challenge Tour Pro Ryan Evans.
Fabrizio Zanotti finished a brilliant final round with a birdie–eagle to claim a one–shot victory at the Maybank Championship, as the Paraguayan claimed his second European Tour title. But what of Danny Willett?

Turkey is on the up and up as a golf destination, so GolfPunk has been summoned to the resort destination of Gloria to see what all the fuss is about.
YE Yang may have won a major but, to date, no Asian player has won a Word Golf Championship. Yet all that could change this week as Japan’s 24-year-old Hideki Matsuyama goes into the halfway stage of the WGC-HSBC Champions at Sheshan with a three-shot lead over Bill Haas and Russell Knox, the defending champion.
Ever since we started GolfPunk back in the day, we've had a slightly irrational desire to go and play golf in Mauritius. I mean, who wouldn't? But, somehow it never seemed attainable. The very idea of it seems so out of reach, right?... the Indian Ocean, white sands, fancy cocktails and golf shots across the ocean.
