Tulliallan Golf Club

Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another exciting edition of the weekly newsletter.

There is absolutely no doubt that the Ryder Cup is the number 1 event in professional golf by a long way. The golf and atmosphere over the 3 days was just incredible, and the lack of golf at the club on Saturday & Sunday suggests that many of you will have had blisters on your backside on Monday morning from sitting on the couch all weekend. The golf from the new dream team of Tommy Fleetwood and Francesco Molinari was simply incredible and superb to watch. Regardless of how good the American team looked on paper, they were, once again, giving a battering by a far more united team.

One thing that slipped mostly under the radar on Sunday was that David Livingstone was set to retire from his role as presenter on Sky Sports after the Ryder Cup finished. David Livingstone has been the face of Sky Sports Golf for all the years that I have watched golf and he will be missed by the game.

Pro v Greenkeeper

We had our own Ryder Cup style match at the club on Friday as David Gillon and I arranged a Pro v Greenkeeper Challenge Match. We had 12 players on each side under a fourball matchplay format. The purpose of the event was to give something back to some of the members that we feel have gone above & beyond to support us this year. Therefore, the match involved a lot of members that have either volunteered on the course or supported David and/or myself in different ways. We genuinely appreciate everything that you all do to support us.

In a very tight affair, the match ended 3-3. Often team captains make decisions that come back to haunt them, and I found this out for myself. Having made a last-minute transfer to move Graeme Bolton out my team and into David’s team, he produced the round of his life to help secure a point for the bad guys. However, there was a lot of good golf on show from everyone on the day and it was great to see so many members come together and enjoy the day.

Well done to our ladies Dumyat Team on retaining the league title this year.

You have all done brilliantly and the club are very proud of your efforts.

Hopefully the trophy will be staying at the club for many years to come.

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.

Mizuno Tech Shield jacket

Mizuno has given you a perfect solution in the form of this stylish jacket, which is versatile enough to be worn straight over a polo shirt should the temperature rise or fall over the course of 18 holes. Its additional stretch to a full length back panel ensures that weather protection doesn't come at the expense of a free moving swing.

Mizuno Move Tech gilet

If you prefer the gilet look, then why not try this option from Mizuno? It features stretch panels to ensure freedom of movement and also means you can wear a pullover underneath for those extra chilly rounds of golf. The best thing about this sleeveless gilet is that you have a choice of six colourways - which will take your fancy?
