• 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.

Charley Hull: Top Europe rookie plans dual-tour schedule for 2014

Northamptonshire's Charley Hull will divide her time between the Europe and USA in 2014 after a successful debut professional season.

Hull, 17, took the Ladies European Tour Rookie of the Year award by holding off England's Holly Clyburn, 22, at the season-ending Dubai Ladies Masters, where she tied for eighth place.

"I didn't go to LPGA Qualifying School, but I've got six or seven invites.

"It'll be half and half on each Tour. I don't want to go straight to America."

She continued: "I'm already in a few of the majors, but I don't want to ruin my childhood - I still want to see my mates."

Hull had five runner-up finishes this year, winning almost 136,000 euros in prize money to pip fellow debut professional Clyburn by 19,844 euros in the Ladies European Tour Order of Merit.

Hull and Clyburn finished sixth and seventh respectively, with the title claimed by Norway's Suzann Pettersen, 32, who won 518,448 euros.

The 17-year-old also shone in Europe's Solheim Cup triumph over the USA in Colorado, beating 27-year-old Paula Creamer 5&4 in the final days singles.

She has also been nominated for the BBC's Young Sports Personality of the Year award.

"It's been a really good season and to win Rookie of the Year tops it all off," she added.

"It's an honour to be nominated for Young Sports Personality. That event should be a lot of fun.

"Next year, I just want to get that [first tournament] win and then I'll be super happy."
