Tulliallan Golf Club

Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another edition of our newsletter. This week sees us take a look at how Kevin Kisner bounced back from disappointment at the WGC Match Play, explain (with an example) why you should never jump the gun with your playing partner, and we have a brilliant Video of the Week as some of the game's best golfers attempt to recreate a Monty special.

Enjoy the read!

Club news

Opening Day

Despite an early bit of rain, we had a fantastic Opening Day at the club on Saturday. The golf course was superb, the weather turned out lovely, and we comfortably had our biggest turnout in my time at the club, with just shy of 120 players.

Well done to new Captain, Robert Carruthers, for getting the first shot of the season away without a glitch.

We would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone the best for the season ahead. Don’t forget that we are here to help if your golf is below the level that you are hoping for. Let us know and in the space of just a couple of lessons, we could turn your season around.

Opening Day Bonus Ball

Well done to Colin Campbell who won the Opening Day Bonus Ball. Colin’s choice of number 24 has earned him a brand-new Odyssey Stroke Lab putter, 2 dozen Callaway Supersoft Golf Balls & an Odyssey Towel!

Neil McLaren drew the winners of the bottles in the clubhouse on Saturday, please see the winner’s below:

Tam McElroy – Bottle of Jura.
Eli Urquhart – Bottle of Barcadi.

The winner of the bonus ball was Fiona Logan - £59 shop credit.

Buggies

We now have 3 buggies available again to hire for the season ahead. These are available by contacting the Pro Shop.

These should hopefully be bookable via BRS later in the year.

Rules news

Sergio gets some lip...

If you ever needed a lesson in not jumping the gun and sticking to the rules, Sergio Garcia showed us all what not to do over the weekend.

Playing against Matt Kuchar in the quarter-final of the WGC Match Play Championship, the Spaniard's makeable putt to win the 7th hole finished inches wide of the mark.

But rather than waiting for Kuchar to concede the putt, Garcia took matters into his own hands and it didn't end well. Watch this video to see what happened.

Tour news

If at first you don’t succeed…

12-months ago, American Kevin Kisner woke up on the Monday after the WGC Match Play Championship nursing the disappointment of a thumping 7&6 final round loss to Bubba Watson.

However, this Monday, the mood in the Kisner camp was quite different after the 35-year-old overcame fellow American Matt Kuchar 3&2 to win his first WGC title and stake a major claim for a Ryder Cup berth ahead of next year's contest at Whistling Straits.

Victories over Tony Finau, Keith Mitchell, Ian Poulter (in a playoff), Haotong Li, Louis Oosthuizen and Francesco Molinari proved Kisner has the ability to go toe-to-toe with the world's elite - maybe he should have been at Le Golf National last year? The wonders of hindsight.

A world-first at the Jordan Mixed Open...

This week sees the start of a revolutionary new tournament, where 40 players from each of the Ladies European Tour, Challenge Tour and StaySure Tour (over 50s) will compete against each other for one trophy and the same prize fund.

The likes of Carly Booth, Jarmo Sandelin and Phillip Price will tee it up over three rounds in a tournament that is sure to snatch the headlines. Keep an eye on next week's newsletter for our report.

Enhance your mojo

Some say that golf is a ‘good walk spoiled’. What nonsense! However, without comfortable footwear, it can spoil some of the fun, especially as our feet start to get tired on the back nine. Fortunately, we have a solution that will have you feeling as if you're strutting your stuff on cloud nine with supreme style and comfort in abundance.

Skechers Mojo Elite golf shoe

Skechers have clearly put comfort to the forefront of their mind with their Mojo Elite shoe for 2019. Its trainer-like look means you can pull them off both on and off the course, whilst its responsive Ultra Flight cushioning gives you supreme all-day comfort.

In addition, the Gripflex design on the outsole (pictured above) is unlike any spikeless design we've seen before. A combination of multi-directional cleats and lugs offer fantastic traction, all in a green-friendly manner that we know is important to a lot of golfers.

I can see clearly now

Bubba Watson, now there’s a man who knows a thing or two about style when it comes to the eyewear department. Oakley's golf-specific sunglasses don't just look great though, they also serve a very useful purpose that you can benefit from too.

Traditional vs Prizm lens

Bubba’s Oakley Targetline shades are fitted with Prizm lens technology. As you can see from the image above, the enhanced colour contrast from standard lens (on the left) to Prizm lens (on the right) is quite remarkable.

This will enable you to see course undulations with greater ease - a particularly useful benefit when it comes to reading your putts on the green.

Targetline sunglasses are available in both white (as Bubba is wearing here) and black, but click on the link below to browse Oakley's full range and Click & Collect to our shop.

Spotlight: Callaway Apex (2019) irons

Irons usually get updated every couple of years, so why did it take Callaway over three years to bring a new Apex iron model to market? Well, quite simply, the Apex CF16 was a brilliant iron that took a while to improve upon.

However, the brains at Callaway have done it and what a special option the new Apex CF19 is; not to mention the Apex Pro irons too. Watch this video to find out why this iron has us so excited in the shop.

Video of the Week

Some of you might recall Colin Montgomerie's driver off-the-deck on the final hole of the 1996 Omega Dubai Desert Classic. Well, 23 years on, can Tommy Fleetwood, Rafa Cabrera-Bello or Matt Fitzpatrick repeat Monty's tournament-winning shot?

I hope you enjoyed my newsletter. If you need anymore help or advice please pop into the shop and we will be happy to help. Have a great week, Stuart.
