Links Ladies travel well
A number of our lady members played at Girton Golf Club last week in their AM AM competition. Playing in teams of four Janice Mansfield , Avril Matthews, Dawn Rahman and Ann Russell came second in the overall competition with Janice also winning one of the nearest the pin prizes.
Other winners included Ann Low, Dianne Merchant, Wendy Clover and Christine Camplin winners of the front 9 competition. It was a super day out at Girton and a great performance from The Links ladies. Well done Girls!
Ecco shoes for 2016-17 season
I was able to view the Ecco shoe range this week which becomes available from October this year and spring 2017. I have to say their designs and colours seem to go from strength to strength each season and their range is again a must have for all serious golfers.
New in Store this week
More new season stock has been arriving this week with the arrival of the autumn /winter Under Armour range.
We will be stocking the full range of UA waterproofs including their top Gortex suit which is made from the market leading waterproof liner.
Once again styles, colours, fashion, and technology are combined in everything that UA do and this collection is no different.
As you can see from the picture, the Under Armour wall is really taking shape for the coming season.
With just one month to go until this year's Ryder Cup and the team is now confirmed. European captain Darren Clarke's three Ryder Cup picks are Martin Kaymer, Lee Westwood and Thomas Pieters.
I suppose we could have picked Lee Westwood based on his past experience and his performance in the majors this year.
Could Clarke have done anything but pick Thomas Pieters after he request he play with him in last week's Made in Denmark event where Pieters shot a first round -8 under par and then went on to win the tournament? This came on the back of his 4th place finish at the Rio Olympic games.
Martin Kaymer's selection however could been seen as the one debatable one, but if you recall he did hole the winning putt in 2012 and has valuable experience.
So a mix of youth and experience seems to be the case here with 6 (six) rookies on the European side. Let's hope we can look forward to some more great golf just as we saw at Medinah Country Club in 2012 when it was last in America
