There are certainly worse phone calls to receive on a Friday afternoon after recently coming to terms with the fact that your bank account clearly doesn’t shout ‘late summer holiday’. I was off to the Villamoura, to play in the Portugal Masters Pro-Am.
The PGA Tour's Takeaway takes you through the top shots and stories from round 3 in Vegas including Alex Cejka's ace and Rickie Fowler (again) smashing it on Par 4s with his new driver...
Star Wars has taken over the internet today, so we thought it only right we added our tuppence worth. With The Force Awakens trailer going live this morning, we had a look around for some of the best Star Wars golfing gubbins.
Vice Golf are a new golf ball brand that offer premium quality golf balls at a significant discount from the usual price. Oh, and they're pretty cool too. GolfPunk has a look at what they're all about.
TaylorMade's PGA Tour Truck is like a rolling BatCave for golf geeks, full of the latest shiny sticks, and latest golf gizmo's. You could even call it the golf Tardis, as it actually is bigger on the inside than the outside, at least it is when it pushes its walls out when stationary. However you want to think of it though, it's bloody cool.
It didn’t rain (that much) today, and the crowds came out in their droves. Who says the young guns aren’t already making a difference? They came to see Jordan, and he did not disappoint. In the end he won comfortably with a two under 69 to beat Henrik Stenson by four shots.

Titleist have switched things up with the launch of the 816 H1 and H2 hybrids. Realising that hybrids need to be gapped distance wise with a set of irons, they've switched the release schedule to come out the same time as the irons rather than with the driver and irons.
It's all space ships, spiral locks and speed channel faces at the Cobra King launch at the fantabulous N1 Driving Range in Greenwich.
Normally a Hell Hole is a winding par four, or a mammoth double driver par five. But rarely has it ever been a tricky little par three. Yet this is a true card wrecker, with a green that can destroy a scorecard. Have you ever heard of a par three where you can rack up a 12? Despite this tricky little beast, this inland links course is a joy to play, who'd have thunk that Poland was home to such an awesome golf course?
It was Thomas Pieters maiden victory at the D+D Real Czech Masters this weekend, when he secured a three shot victory over Pelle Edberg at the Albatross Golf Resort in Prague. Here's his backstory, and why we think we will be seeing a lot more of him.
Big bombing Thomas Pieters became only the third Belgian to win on the European Tour, taking the D+D REAL Czech Masters. Despite a double bogey on the front nine Pieters romped to a three shot victory over Pelle Edberg at the Albatross Golf Resort in Prague.
