• 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.

Stunning midsummer golf break up for grabs with European Tour Shot of the Year Competition!

After a year of outstanding golf from the first event to the last, The European Tour Shot of the Year competition offers My European Tour fans the opportunity to win a fantastic midsummer golf break to two European Tour Properties – Estonian Golf & Country Club and Linna Golf.

One lucky winner and their guest will get the chance to play midnight golf in the height of summer ( although other tee times are available) at the exquisite Linna Golf in Finland before being ferried across the Baltic Sea to the stunning Estonian Golf & Country Club for another round.

Overnight accommodation will be provided at both venues, as well as up to £1,000 for travel and transfers at the beginning and end of your journey.

This really is a superb opportunity for any golf fan, and to be in with a chance of winning, all you have to do is pick your favourite effort from the 11 monthly winners this season.

Last year Louis Oosthuizen was voted the Shot of the Year for his incredible albatross two during the final round of the 2012 Masters Tournament, and looking to follow in his footsteps are the following contenders from 2013: Chris Wood (January), Charl Schwartzel (February), Anders Hansen (March), Maximilian Kieffer (April), Ernie Els (May), Justin Rose (June), Francesco Molinari (July), Danny Willett (August), Peter Uihlein (September), Craig Lee (October) and Henrik Stenson (November).

All you need to do now is log in to My European Tour
