Tour news

New King of Scotland

Congratulations go to Austrian Bernd Wiesberger, who became the golfing king of Scotland with a thrilling playoff victory at the Scottish Open.

On a tense afternoon of sporting action (anyone see the cricket? How about the tennis?), golf played its part as Frenchman Benjamin Herbert fired in a final round nine-under-par to tie with Wiesberger at the top of the standings on -22 and force a playoff.

It took three holes and a couple of lucky escapes for Wiesberger to emerge victorious as Herbert missed two opportunities to seal the deal for himself before scuppering a straightforward putt for par at the 18th to hand Wiesberger his sixth European Tour title and second win of 2019.

Johnston in tears ahead of Open week

Wiesberger’s win could not have come at a better time as he heads to Royal Portrush this week for The 148th Open Championship.

However, it was fitting that at The Renaissance Club, Andrew ‘Beef’ Johnston should pick that moment to perform his own renaissance and qualify for The Open after shooting a final round nine-under-par to end up tied fourth.

It left him in tears after a difficult year and just reward for his never-give-up attitude. Runner-up Benjamin Herbert and Italian Nino Bertasio will join Johnston in Northern Ireland as the other two qualifiers.

Game improvement

Is your putting holding you back?

With putting being 40% of the game, having a putter that is fitted correctly for you is very important. We see far too many amateurs using the wrong putter for their height and stroke causing their putting to be very inconsistent.

If you're interested in having a putter fitted for you correctly then get in touch. In the Pro Shop here at Newbury & Crookham, we have a fantastic selection of putters to choose from.

We are currently running a fantastic offer where you are able to receive a FREE fitting and FREE lesson when you purchase a putter from TaylorMade, Lynx or Odyssey.

This offer expires Sunday, 28 July. Call us on 01635 40035 or click here to book your fitting today.

More bang for your buck

Golf clothing has come a long way from the old-style knickerbockers worn in the early 1900s - you can hardly imagine popping to the supermarket in a pair of those today. Fortunately, these days, golf brands make clothing that is high performing on the course but looks good enough to set the trend off it too.

Glenmuir SS19 apparel

Take this polo from Glenmuir. It's a prime example of on-course off-course versatility thanks to a detailed collar styling and matched shoulder block colour, which produces a sporty look that is perfect for any occasion.

This polo is a worthy addition to any golfing wardrobe, so come in and take a closer look at Glenmuir's range next time you're down the club.
