Ladies burning it up!

The very best of luck to Fionualla our Lady Captain and all the ladies playing in the Lady Captains Prize this week. The weather is great, there is run plenty of run on the ball and it will be hotly contested with the recent conditions creating all kinds of challenges we are not used to. Whatever your result enjoy the competition and have fun out there!

Congratulations are in order this week to Eoin Freeman who won the Leinster u-16s in Ashbourne Golf Club, this follows on from Rob Brazils West of Ireland victory and Jamie Butlers Leinster u-16s win earlier in the year. I must also give a shout of congrats to Anna Foster who won the Leinster Girls u-18s last week in Lucan and who attends the academy here at the club.

Tour news

A tight affair

The heatwave continues and what a weekend it was in general for sport. England cruising into the World Cup semi-finals with a 2-0 victory over Sweden, it was also the British Grand Prix where Lewis Hamilton recovered from the back of the field to finish in 2nd place and Scotland’s Russell Knox won the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open.

It was a tight affair on the European Tour this week with a playoff hole deciding who took home the Irish Open and it was the Scotsman Russell Knox who defeated Ryan Fox of New Zealand. Knox holed two superb putts on the 18th green at Ballyliffin GC to claim his second European Tour victory. Can you tell the difference? Click here to view.

Attentions now turn to the Scottish Open this week where players will be putting in their final preparations for the third major of the year, The Open. Who will find some form heading into one of the toughest golfing destinations in the world, Carnoustie and will America make it three in a row...

Have you seen the forecast?

If not, then it's time to get excited as the high temperatures are back with 'sunny skies, clear nights, and minimal cloud expected for most of the UK.' To bypass any squinting in this glorious sunshine, be sure to consider Oakley sunglasses, which you can buy through our online solution and collect conveniently in-store. If the glasses don't suit you, you can return them through us with no hassle whatsoever.

It couldn't be clearer

Playing golf in the sunshine is something we all love, but it does have its downsides when bright light compromises your view. This is why Oakley offers such a great range of eye-catching, golf-specific sunglasses to help your game.

Don't put up with squinting
Trying to track a drive into low sun is just one problem summer golf can create. It also becomes more difficult to pick an aiming point and to read greens when bright light disguises subtle contours.

One eyewear option we love thanks to its cool frame style you can wear off-course is the Oakley Targetline (pictured here). It comes with the option of Prizm golf lenses that enhance clarity and maximise contrast to give you better depth perception and make slopes easier to spot, as displayed in the image above.

Hot off the press

Motocaddy’s electric trolley range is split into the S-Series and M-Series, the latter having recently undergone a major overhaul with four new compact trolleys replacing the extremely popular previous generation.

Which trolley is the right one for you?
If you’re seeking a compact-folding electric trolley, Motocaddy's updated M-Series range is made up of four great options that all include super-lightweight Lithium batteries. All M-Series trolleys are car-boot friendly thanks to space-saving inverted wheels that have significantly reduced their folded size, which is 11% smaller than its nearest competitor.

The new M5 CONNECT boasts GPS yardages on its screen display, plus it receives handy phone and app notifications. The updated M3 PRO offers features including a security pin code, a six-step Adjustable Distance Control (up to 60 yards) and nine speed settings that allow it to travel at your walking pace. The new M1 is the simplest offering of the four, featuring a soft-touch ergonomic handle and an oversize frame to offer robust stability, but is also available in a Downhill Control (DHC) model that comes with an electronic parking brake.
