Best Ryder Cup ever?

So that’s it, as quickly as it started, it’s all over. The 2018 Ryder Cup at Le Golf National will go down as one of Team Europe’s best ever performances on home soil, as they came away with a comprehensive 17.5 – 10.5 win over a much-fancied Team USA.

Whereas everything seemed to go right for Europe’s captain Thomas Bjorn; from wildcard picks, to pairing Tommy Fleetwood with Francesco Molinari to form the formidable “Moliwood”, his American counterpart Jim Furyk was left to rue some poor decisions. Tiger Woods, fresh from his TOUR Championship win last week, failed to win a single point, whilst Phil Mickelson was woeful for the whole tournament. Both were captain’s picks.

The standout player for the home team however was surely Francesco Molinari. Having won this year’s Open Championship, the Italian no doubt fancied his chances on a course which placed a premium on shot-making as opposed to bombing huge drives down the fairway. Molinari won all five of his matches, becoming the first European to win five points in one Ryder Cup. What makes this achievement even more remarkable is the fact that prior to this year's contest, Molinari had played six matches across two previous editions without winning a match. He now truly belongs amongst the world’s elite golfers.

Special mention should also go to Sergio Garcia, the Spaniard was a controversial wildcard choice from Bjorn, but was a crucial component of Team Europe’s victory. Garcia’s win over Rickie Fowler in the singles saw him become Europe’s leading all-time point-scorer in the Ryder Cup with 25.5 points, overtaking Sir Nick Faldo’s record.

To sleeve or not to sleeve

Being underprepared when you're out on the course is a blunder which we've all been guilty of making. As the cold weather starts rolling in, you need to start thinking about some layering pieces that keep you warm and dry, but also lets you have freedom of movement during your round. Luckily for you, we have just the answer.

FootJoy Chill-Out Xtreme Fleece pullover

FootJoy has come up with a solution for you in the form of its Chill-Out Xtreme fleece pullover. With three different colourways to choose from, this pullover not only keeps you warm on the course but will have you looking good at the same time. The sweater's fleece lining provides additional insulation, giving you extra comfort in even the worst weather.

FootJoy Fleece Quilted vest

Alternatively, if you prefer the gilet look, why not try the Fleece Quilted vest from FootJoy? This stylish sleeveless fleece has some stunning woven paneling - but it's not just for show. It provides additional warmth and extra wind protection, making it well worth a try the next time you're out on the course.

The best of the best

Some fantastic iron sets have been released over the course of 2018, but it's still Titleist's range of 718 irons from 12 months ago that continue to impress many of you during custom fittings.

Distance and Forgiveness
Titleist AP1

If you're looking to see your handicap tumble, this model from Titleist should be on your list.

Yes, you'll get maximum distance and forgiveness from the AP1, but what we love most is the attention to detail: the 5 and 4 irons have a hollow body design, making them easier to launch along with being more forgiving on mis-hits.

Playability and Precision
Titleist CB

If you're a low handicap golfer looking to upgrade your set, come and try out the impressive 718 CB.

A tour-preferred profile gives these cavity back irons a clean look for the better player, whilst the forged heads also make for a more responsive feel, giving you the feedback you need as you look to hone in on the pin.

Players' Distance Iron
Titleist AP3

The AP3 is the newest model within Titleist's line-up, aiming to fill a gap within their range.

Traditionally, you'd have to compromise on looks if you wanted a distance-orientated iron. However, the AP3 from Titleist maintains the classic players' shape and feel for enhanced playability, whilst offering impressive distance.
