PGA Tour
This week on the PGA Tour, Patrick Reed won this week at the World Golf Championships-Mexico Championship. Reed finished this week shooting 18 under, with Bryson DeChambeau finishing closely behind at -17 under.
Bryson DeChambeau might have looked like the winner for most of Sunday at the World Golf Championships–Mexico Championship, but you can never underestimate Patrick Reed when it comes to a challenge. The win is Reed’s eighth on the PGA TOUR and second WGC–Mexico Championship title! He knows how to perform on the big stage. Elsewhere, Viktor Hovland came of age with his win at the Puerto Rico Open, delivering on the high expectations he has had to deal with since turning pro last year.

12.1 When Ball Is in Bunker A ball is in a bunker when any part of the ball: Touches sand on the ground inside the edge of the bunker, or
Is inside the edge of the bunker and rests: On ground where sand normally would be (such as where sand was blown or washed away by wind or water), or
In or on a loose impediment, movable obstruction, abnormal course condition or integral object that touches sand in the bunker or is on ground where sand normally would be. |
|
If a ball lies on soil or grass or other growing or attached natural objects inside the edge of the bunker without touching any sand, the ball is not in the bunker. If part of the ball is both in a bunker and in another area of the course, see Rule 2.2c.

New promotion available to you We launched this last week and the initial take up has been phenomenal! It's not just about making sure you replace the grips on your clubs every year. Instead, we want you to have the correct sized grip and the right type of grip (tacky, chorded and so on) too. This will only be running for a few more weeks so come and see us in the pro shop if interested. |
| |
Last week we revealed a remarkable statistic regarding the number of golfers playing grips that are over a year old, but what impact does that actually have on your game? Well, we decided to do some digging... |
 | | Tension whilst gripping |
Grips are made from rubber and are prone to wear and tear, just like the tyres on your car. When they become worn, your grips will lose tackiness and your hands will start to slip during the swing, resulting in poorer shots.
The thing is, you’ll likely overcompensate by holding on to your clubs too tight, creating more tension and stiffness during the swing.
|
 | | Limited time offer in-store now |
We know it sounds all doom and gloom, but it does make a huge difference to your game. That's why we're running this promotion at Longniddry Golf Club, so you can experience the benefits of a new grip first hand.
There’s no catch, just pop by the shop before your next round to take advantage. |
