Glenmuir has launched a brand new TV campaign “Your Golf Brand” which will be aired on Sky Sports throughout May and June 2022. The film features one of Glenmuir’s ambassadors Stephen Gallacher on his journey from being born and brought up near the factory in Lanark, Scotland right through to his European Tour and Ryder Cup wins.

Why is the golf now only on Sky TV in the UK with the BBC set to produce, if last year is anything to go by, a set of very ordinary highlights programmes? Who is to blame - Sky, the BBC, the politicians, the R&A or perhaps even Brexit?

Just the one event this week and note it’s on the red button on Sky Golf TV.
GolfPunk's resident tipster, Nick Fleming, picked 2nd place Joel Dahmen as an each way bet at Wells Fargo Championship at the weekend and sadly missed out on Jorge Campillo, who down as a winner, faded to finish third as Mikko Korhonen came through to see off France’s Benjamin Hebert at the first play-off hole.
The final major of the year. The BBC didn't want it. Sky didn't want it. BT didn't want it. So there goes your TV licence money, your Sky subscription, your BT cash, the lot. Maybe Dave will make a bid for it next year...
