Well, congratulations Europe on another Ryder Cup victory. Did the fact that it never really got nail biting take the edge off this one? Not really if you're a European fan because a win's a win! However, it's a genuine debate for the clubhouse; could we have done with a closer affair for the good of the contest? We'll let you have that discussion...
In any case we hope you feel inspired to get out on the course. And when you're next in the pro shop be sure to check out the new arrivals. It's that time of year when we get to see some exciting new equipment releases. If anything catches your eye then speak to the team and get our expert advice.

Iain Finishes Top 25 at Sandy Pipey Young Masters at Royal Dornoch GC
The weather was perfect up at Dornoch for Iain, he said it was a great two days up at one of his favourite courses. In the end he finished 23rd but was only 2 shots off finishing in the top 14, so all in all with his baby earlier this year he was happy with his solid performance.
