Welcome to another edition of our newsletter. This week we look ahead to the finale of the European Tour, cast our eye over the best wedge for distance control, and also show you some of the best golfing holidays on offer this winter. Enjoy the read. |
Why go anywhere else?
The big news in golf last week came from one of my main competitors for your business. As one of the leading golf shops in the UK closed many of its stores, it seems like the ideal time for me to remind you of what we can offer.
Every time American Golf brought out a new promotion, I scratched my head and thought “how can they possibly afford to do this?!” for example their ‘Double Trade In’ offer, well it turns out that they couldn’t!
Here at Tulliallan we will always strive to give you the best, most honest advice we can, even if that does means turning down a sale. AG would seem to make sure that ‘you left their store with new equipment’ every time you went in; we will only sell to you if we feel that you will genuinely benefit from your purchase. We also remind you that all profit from your sales go back in to YOUR club.
Please remember this before supporting people that don’t have your genuine golfing interests or benefits at mind.

It's that time of year again Leaves, leaves & more leaves! Unfortunately, this is going to be the sight for weeks to come yet. As we have over 25,000 trees on the golf course, that means we have a lot of leaves! These get blown off the main playing areas and collected daily, but, by the time a hole is cleared, they are starting to fall again. Volunteers to help remove them from the golf course are always welcomed with open arms. |

Moliwood go to battle for top spot... The European Tour will be hoping to match the excitement of the PGA Tour’s finale, with the Race to Dubai close to reaching its season-ending climax. Fresh from their exploits in the Ryder Cup, the ‘Moliwood’ pairing of Francesco Molinari and Tommy Fleetwood are busy occupying the top two spots, with Molinari holding a 1.4 million point lead over Fleetwood, who triumphed in the Race to Dubai last year. Also in contention are Patrick Reed and Rory McIlroy, with the former looking to prove that his Ryder Cup display is well and truly forgotten. Reed will be more at home in the arid conditions than he was at Le Golf National, so he could be one to keep an eye on. It should be a great ending to what has been a memorable season. |
A bone of contention for golfers... Double hitting is a bone of contention for golfers, as it can be difficult to tell when a playing partner has hit the ball twice. The current rule for double hitting (14-4) states that if a player strikes the ball more than once during a stroke, the player must count the stroke and add a penalty stroke for two strokes altogether. However, with the new rules of golf coming into play on 1st January 2019, Rule 10.1a will state that if the player’s club accidentally hits the ball more than once during a single stroke, there will be no penalty. This is down to the fact that as the double hit was not the intention of the player, it was deemed unfair for the player to be penalised. |
| A little help from my friends... |
Seeing the 'Holy Trinity' of Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas and Rickie Fowler having a great time together whilst playing the best courses in the world can leave you feeling a bit envious. Sure, you and your friends have a good enough time down at the club, but you might want to experience something truly special all together - a golf trip away. |
