Ryder Cup After 2 years of hurt, Europe finally got to inflict their revenge on our cousins across the pond. After a shaky start on Friday morning ending the session 3-1 down, team Europe kicked into gear in the afternoon claiming the session 4-0. The Moliwood combination of Francesco Molinari & Tommy Fleetwood seemed to be a force to be reckoned with. Europe carried on their dominance on Saturday morning taking the fourballs 3-1 before sharing the spoils in the afternoon foursomes, 2-2. Europe took a commanding lead into the Sunday singles leading 10-6, requiring 4 1/2 points to win back the Ryder Cup. Rory McIlroy led the Europeans out against Justin Thomas, a game of nip and tuck which ended in a point going to the USA. Europe had to wait until match 4 before registering a win, with Jon Rahm dispatching Tiger Woods 2&1. Tony Finau beat Tommy Fleetwood to get another USA point but after that there was a sea of blue on the leaderboard with Europe claiming 6 of the last 7 matches to crush USA 17.5 - 10.5. Europe's lucky charm might well have been John Aughterlony who was in Paris to witness Europe stamp their authority on USA, he managed to capture the scenes an hour before tee off and the European Army were out in full force...

Perman Shield After a long summer the scratch team had made it to the final of the Perman Shield at Mid Kent GC against a strong Sundridge Park GC team. Could the boys take inspiration from the European heroics in Paris? Here's how they got on... R&CPGC wasted no time in the morning foursomes and hit the ground running after taking a 1UP & 2&1 victory before surrendering half a point only to win match 4, again, 2&1. Bushy & the boys took a commanding lead into the afternoon singles, 3 1/2 - 1/2. Sundridge Park came out fighting by claiming the first 3 matches to bring the scores a little closer together but R&CPGC responded marvellously by comfortably winning the final 5 matches giving them an 8 1/2 - 3 1/2 victory and bringing the Perman Shield back to R&CPGC. Well done boys, you've done us all proud!

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. |
Under Armour Storm Daytona 1/2 zip Under Armour has given you a perfect solution in the form of this pullover. The stretch panels at the shoulders allow for added mobility in the swing, whilst the double-knit insulation panels pack incredible warmtha and are still soft to the touch. The material also wicks sweat and dries quickly, ensuring a constant body temperature through the whole round. |

Under Armour Storm Daytona vest
