• Bubba Watson

    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.

  • Thorpenes Golf Club

    TA Hotel Collection, owners of Thorpeness Hotel and Golf Club in Suffolk, are seeking to attract more golf tourists to the county with the launch of a new trail combining real ale tours and classic seaside golf courses. Thorpeness Golf Club is already one of Southern England’s leading stay-and-play golf break destinations thanks to its 36-bedroom hotel, James Braid designed 18-hole course and location in the picture-perfect holiday village of Thorpeness; a Suffolk tourist hot-spot.

Day rises to No. 11 in OWGR after World Cup win


Jason Day is finally back in the winner’s circle, and he’s nearing the top 10 in the world again, too. 

Day, who won the World Cup of Golf for his first title since the 2010 Byron NelsonChampionship, rose from No. 18 to No. 11 in the latest rankings, released Monday. It is his highest position in the Official World Golf Ranking since he was ranked 10th in March 2012. His career-best ranking is No. 7.

Since that victory at the Nelson, Day has racked up 25 top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour and six top-10s at majors, including three runners-up.

Thomas Bjorn also made a sizable move in the rankings, rising from No. 44 to No. 34 after his runner-up finish at Royal Melbourne. 

Much like Day, Luke Donald ended his own drought last week, defending his title at the Japan Tour’s Dunlop Phoenix. The former world No. 1, who had slipped all the way to 17th in the world, jumped up two spots, to No. 15, after his first win in 12 months. Meanwhile, the runner-up in Japan, Hyung-sung Kim, jumped from No. 82 to No. 65 in the world.

Here’s the top 10 in the world, which remains unchanged from a week ago: No. 1 Tiger Woods,Adam Scott, Henrik Stenson, Phil Mickelson, Justin Rose, Rory McIlroy, Matt Kuchar,Steve Stricker, Brandt Snedeker and Jason Dufner.
