At last, a European Tour event in England!! And a really, really, good line up: The British Masters is hosted by Ryder Cup legend Ian Poulter and will see a star studded field take to the Woburn course on 8th October.
TItleist are on a roll this year. The Pro V1 is on fire. The 915 Woods have been a massive success. And Titleist irons win a tour event seemingly every other week. The one area people don’t to think of Titleist though is forgiving mid handicap irons. Yet with the AP1, they’ve got a set of irons that combines offers shed loads of help, without looking like a chopper big bat.
Sandy looks at things differently to other golf pros. Today he explains how a pair of pair of boobs can improve your position at impact, whether they are real or imaginary. Apparently it's all about squashing the left nipple. Oo'er missus!!!
Thongchai Jaidee stormed through the field with a seven under 64 to take the lead at the Porsche European Open. We hand’t mentioned the 45 year old Thai player once in our roundups before today, as he zoomed 14 places up and through a crowded leaderboard at Golf Resort Bad Griesbach.
Graeme Storm took the lead with Ross Fosher and Charl Schwartzel at the Porsche European Open at Golf Resort Bad Griesbach. Schwartzel, The 2011 Masters Champ hasn’t won an event for two years, shot a flawless 66 on his way to the top of the leaderboard, while Fisher shot a round of the day 65 to join him. Stormy hit a 67 with an eagle on 10 to kickstart his round.
Choosing an athlete is a tricky business for a golf brand. Does the athlete represent the brand? Are they any good at golf? Do they suit the clothing?

No one has been going really low today. The rain has made the rough that much more penal, and focused everyone’s attention on hitting fairways. There’s zero reward in being off-line, and that’s kept it conservative out there today. It’s frankly been a very quiet day indeed. Zzzzzzz.

A cold pint. Normally a golfers wet dream after eighteen holes. But according to our new no nonsense Aussie golf coach, Sandy Jamieson, it's also one of the answers to playing better golf. We thought he was joking, but it makes perfect sense. Grip it and sip it.
After taking the first round lead at the Porsche European Open, we throught we'd remind you of the time when Valdy met Stormy. GolfPunk's resident sock-puppet-rascal-love-child-of-Roland-Rat-&-Frank-Spencer takes on European Tour star Graeme Storm. And talk soon turns to surrender monkeys and the art of cake making...
Dustin Johnson has had some year. His sabbatical didn't seem to affect his golf, as he came out firing on all cylinders winning the WGC Cadillac Championship. He's had a son, Tatum, with the lovely Paulina Gretzky. And he came within a putt of the winning the US Open. So it's no surprise he fancied treating himself to a new house.
