Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another exciting edition to Leeds Golf Club's weekly newsletter. We hope that you're having a good week on and off the golf course.

Enjoy the read.

Ryder Cup

Ole’ Ole’ Ole’ Ole’

What a fantastic three days of golf from Le Golf National in Paris. Lots of worried European faces after Friday morning’s fourballs, having lost 3-1 to quite jubilant scenes at 4:30pm Sunday afternoon.

Captain Bjorn got his pairings spot on for the fourballs and foursomes with Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson dovetailing once again.

Captains picks, Sergio Garcia and Paul Casey justifying their pick with Sergio becoming the highest point earner now on 25.5 points, a record held by Sir Nick Faldo for years.

Ian ‘the postman’ Poulter delivering a point once again.

And, of course Moliwood. The sublime pairing of Open Champion, Francesco Molinari and European number one, Tommy Fleetwood. Winning four points out of a possible four together, it was very fitting that Francesco was the player to secure the point that won The Ryder Cup.

Lots of fun to watch and can’t wait for 2020 at Whistling Straits.

To sleeve or not to sleeve

Being underprepared when you're out on the course is a blunder that we've all been guilty of making. As the cold weather starts rolling in, you need to start thinking about some layering pieces that keep you warm and dry, but also lets you have freedom of movement during your round. Luckily for you, we have just the answer.

adidas Go-To pullover

adidas has come up with a solution for you in the form of its Go-To pullover. The water-resistant fabric, combined with a fleece-lined shell, means this jacket is perfect for keeping you warm and comfortable in even the worst of conditions. You'll also be able to swing freely, thanks to the articulated elbows and lightweight fabric used on the shoulders and arms.

adidas Climaheat Frostguard 1/4 zip vest

Alternatively, if you prefer the gilet look, why not try adidas' Climaheat Frostguard 1/4 zip? Its Climaheat technology means you'll stay warm and dry in the coldest weather, whilst its stand-up collar gives you that extra bit of protection from any chill in the air. It also features stretch fabric, to let you swing without being affected by the extra layer on top.

The best of the best

Some fantastic iron sets have been released over the course of 2018 and here are our top picks for everyone from high-handicappers to scratch golfers. We stock multiple brands in-store so do come and speak to us about which clubs will be best suited to your game.

Game Improvement Irons
PING G700

If you want to see your handicap tumble then be sure to take a look at this model from PING. It's been designed to offer a higher launch and more forgiveness on mishits - something that will benefit all golfers. But this doesn't come with a compromise on looks, as the G700's sleek design will boost your confidence at address.

Players' Irons
PING i500

This iron model is ideal for any single-figure golfers looking to take their game to the next level. Its forged face results in faster ball speeds and longer, higher-trajectory shots - meaning you'll be hitting one club less into the greens. Couple this with its compact, blade-style finish and you have the perfect players' iron.

Ladies Iron Model
PING G Le

We've had plenty of female golfers leave the pro shop satisfied after being fitted for PING's lady specific G Le range. These steel irons have been optimised for women's swing speeds, making it easier to square up the face and hit straighter and longer shots, even if struck off-centre.

Spotlight: New Srixon balls

When you've got a great product, there's no need to make wholesale changes just for the sake of it but, instead, little refinements can go a long way.

This is exactly what Srixon has done in the new Soft Feel and UltiSoft golf balls for 2018. The Soft Feel is ideal for golfers looking to maximise distance, whereas the UltiSoft is the choice for slower swinging golfers - both of which are available in-store now.
