Welcome. In this week’s newsletter Europe punish the Americans, Ladies enjoy their Autumn meeting and Josh Greig hits form again. Enjoy the read. |
Well what a week that was!
I enjoyed every moment of what became an exceptional Ryder Cup. Team Europe put on a performance that was devastating. The tactics were spot on, the picks were spot on and pairings were spot on. Thomas Bjorn personified class and calmness as he guided is European heroes to a convincing 17.5-10.5 victory. The golf was spectacular throughout with birdies pouring in.
I don’t think they will have it all their way at Whistling Straits in 2 years. |

To sleeve or not to sleeve |
Being underprepared when you're out on the course is a blunder which 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. |
Galvin Green Diego pullover Galvin Green has given you a perfect solution, in the form of its Diego pullover. This 1/2 zip top is easy to put on and take off throughout the course of a round, and boasts four distinctive colourways - three of which you can see here. The chest pocket is also a handy feature for keeping any extra gear nice and dry during the winter months, such as your scorecard. |
|
Galvin Green Lawson gilet If you prefer the gilet look, why not try the Lawson? This vest is extremely breathable, meaning you won't be overheating during your round, even with the extra layer. The three colourways are very easy on the eye, and the front pockets add a nice dose of practability into the mix, making this body warmer the full package to be worn on and off the course. |
