    Bubba Watson is known for doing things differently, like having a pink shaft in his driver, firing golf balls through water melons and being one quarter of the golf boy band “The Golf Boys.”

  • Golf Insurance Matters

    The latest article in our how to series turns the spotlight on some of the unexpected things that can happen at the driving range – from ricochets to self-inflicted injuries – and why it pays to be insured. With winter closing in and less daylight hours in which to hit the course the best place to keep swinging is at the driving range. The driving range is a great hangout for golfers of all skill levels and abilities. Given that your local driving range could be filled with hackers and heroes it’s not impossible that an innocent trip to whack some balls could end in disaster, injury or a sizeable legal bill.

  • La Reservae Golf Club, Costa Del Sol

    A new course designed by Cabell B. Robinson, La Reserva Club De Golf had only recently opened but I would never have guessed. On arrival it was obvious the course was in perfect condition. The opening hole at La Reserva is a straight par four with well designed bunkers and an attractive green – a good, if understated opener, but on the 2nd tee, however, the front nine opens up before you and you get an idea of the challenge that lies ahead. Set out in a small valley with wonderful changes in elevation, attractive contours and great scenery, the next eight holes weave back in forth in fantastic fashion.

  • Lie of the Land

    A caddie at The Old Course at St Andrews, Turnberry or Troon would tell you that it takes time to get to know the subtleties and nuances of links land and learn the bounce of the ball. Often slopes and natural features can funnel the ball towards the hole, squeeze extra yards from a drive or prevent a ball from going in a hazard.

Masters chance for Dubuisson

Victor Dubuisson is one of 12 European Tour players given an invite to the Masters as the Frenchman looks to build on his 2013 success.

The 23-year-old won his first professional event this year, when claiming the Turkish Airlines Open, and then went on to finish third in the season-ending DP World Tour Championship. Following his impressive end-of-season burst, Dubuisson took sixth in the Race to Dubai standings, whilst also moving up to 32 in the world rankings. Now he has qualified for only his second Major tournament - having failed to make the cut as an amateur at the 2012 Open Championship - and will be part of the world class field heading to Augusta in April. Experienced duo Thomas Bjorn and Miguel Angel Jimenez have also secured their berths at the Masters, whilst Ryder Cup star Francesco Molinari and Peter Hanson are also part of the select group of invitees. Wales' Jamie Donaldson, England's David Lynn, Spaniard Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano, young Italian Matteo Manassero, Thongchai Jaidee of Thailand, Dutchman Joost Luiten and South Africa's Branden Grace make up the European-based dozen.
