adidas Go-To Jacket

This is certainly one of our favourite jackets from adidas – the bold design means this will be a stylish addition to any golfing wardrobe.

You'll be protected from the elements thanks to the Go-To's water-resistant fabric and fleece-lined shell. Freedom of movement is ensured by the articulated elbows, so your swing won't be affected no matter the conditions.

This jacket is new for this autumn/winter so come down and try it on for size if you're in the market for a new layering piece.

Tour news

Big Phil takes the bragging rights

The long-awaited match between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson took place last week and, with a combined 19 Majors between them, sparks were expected to fly. Las Vegas was an apt setting for the winner-takes-all event, and there was drama right up to the very last, as Big Phil came away with the $9m prize on the fourth extra hole after Woods had forced a play-off when he chipped in on the 17th.

Whilst the quality of golf wasn't quite up to what we expected, it was certainly a unique way of playing the game and could even be done again in the future

Elsewhere, the European Tour got underway at the Hong Kong Open, with Englishman Aaron Rai fending off a strong challenge from compatriot Matthew Fitzpatrick to win his first title on the tour. Fitzpatrick was within touching distance, but a bogey on the 17th allowed Rai to take the victory on -17, with Fitzpatrick one shot further back.

Style for all occasions

In the past, golf clothing has had the reputation of being “for the golf course” with a call to the fashion police needed if you were to wear it anywhere else. Thankfully, times have changed, and we now have a vast selection of fashionable pieces in-store that you’ll be able to confidently wear both on and off the golf course.

We know some of you are still wearing your baggy golf jacket from years gone by, so here's our suggestion to replace it: Galvin Green's Lance jacket.

If you're shopping on the high street, you'll want an array of options to choose from. Well, this jacket is available in seven colours so there's something to suit all golfers.

Its stylish design means it can be worn both on and off the course, whilst INTERFACE-1 fabric is windproof, water repellent and highly breathable for maximum comfort.

Divide and conquer

Sometimes in golf, it's the little things which really grind your gears. Take golf bags, for example - the game can be difficult enough when you're not playing your best, but it becomes downright frustrating when you go to take one club out of the bag and the whole set decides to come out with it. It goes both ways, with sometimes just trying to slot a single club back in proving difficult and time-consuming.

Luckily, there's a solution - the Pro cart bag from Mizuno. This bag has a spacious 14-way top cuff with full-length dividers for optimum club organisation, so you won't be struggling to take them out or slot them into your bag. Not only that, it comes with a whole array of handy pockets to keep any valuables or apparel safe whilst you're out on the course.

Spotlight: Under Armour Spieth 2

When one of the world's best players has a pivotal role in the design of a product, you know it's something that you need to try. In this case, golfing superstar Jordan Spieth teamed up with Under Armour to bring this fantastic shoe to market.

It builds on the success of Spieth 1 by adding GORE-TEX protection, whilst being lighter and more comfortable at the same time. The ideal shoe for winter golf.

Video of the Week

Hands up if you've failed to get out of a bunker first time before. When the ball's plugged it becomes even harder, so this week's 'Tip from the Tour' is about how to conquer this tricky shot first time, every time.

I hope you enjoyed the newsletter have a great weekend.
