An ace week for Master Eddie

The British Masters took place at Walton Heath in Surrey last week and was hosted by the local favourite, Justin Rose. The tournament had a stark weather contrast from start to finish with conditions declining and making it a real grind for the players. The caddies were certainly tested during the final round trying to keep their players warm and dry. It was a day of umbrellas, waterproofs and wearing the correct layering, which at this time of year can help or hinder your round.

The tournament winner was Eddie Pepperell who dealt with the conditions the best and led from start to finish to claim a two-shot victory. Eddie’s highlight of the week was his impressive hole-in-one on Thursday at the ninth hole, earning £20,000 for charity and a celebratory bottle of wine from the tournament host. Pepperell now moves up to 33rd in the world rankings and with it an invite to next year’s biggest tournaments including his first trip to The Masters at Augusta.

Accuracy over distance

If you watched the Ryder Cup last month then one thing should have become clear to you: finding the fairway off the tee is a must. Whilst distance does help, there's no point thrashing a drive as far as you can if you don't hit the fairway, finding yourself cutting down trees as a result - as depicted in the illustration below.

Find the short stuff

In order to shoot lower scores you need to put a premium on finding the fairway, something that a custom fitting for Callaway's Rogue driver will certainly help with. Its Triaxial Carbon Crown allows for a huge amount of forgiveness, meaning your bad shots will be less destructive. If you tend to miss with a slice, the Draw bias version will be the perfect option for you.

Shake off a shower

As winter approaches, we can expect a lot of things with one certainty being rain, and a lot of it. We all know what this can lead to - feeling soaked out on the course, a barely readable scorecard and, in some cases, just a generally miserable round of golf. Enter, golf-specific waterproofs….

Those disgruntled feelings of being drenched during your 18 holes will be a thing of the past once you've tried on Under Armour's Storm Rain jacket. This jacket is 100% waterproof so you needn't worry about your jumper being drenched no matter the weather. It also has a mesh lining to allow for greater breathability and comfort during your round.

There's a difference between the longest iron in your bag and the longest playable iron in your bag, which is an area that TaylorMade's GAPR clubs fit perfectly.
