Golf on Tour

Changes pay off for Bryson

Bryson DeChambeau’s beefed-up new look has had chins wagging since the restart of the PGA Tour. On Sunday, the added muscle mass delivered its first win. A seven-under final round brought his total to -23 for the week and gave ‘The Mad Scientist’ a three-stroke victory at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.

The 26-year-old had decided it was time for a change at the back-end of 2019 and put his famed thinking cap (a Ben Hogan-style flat-cap) on to find a solution. The answer, he decided, was to gain muscle in order to drive further.

After finishing T3-T6-T8 in the first three events, this week DeChambeau was finally able to sink the critical putts. His driving distance (now No. 1 on the PGA Tour) has proven effective, but this week went to show that you can’t win without good putting.

Competition results

Last Saturday was our first qualifier of the season, on what was a very tough day, with over 190 competitors and the largest field I have ever known in near 25 years here. The scoring was just fantastic and compliments to our green staff for continuing to turn out a course in great condition, despite very high levels of golf traffic. The white stableford was won by one of our up and coming juniors George Rowan with 44 points. George picked up the junior prize with first prize going to Phil Fitzpatrick with 41 points, after an impressive gross 75 in very windy conditions.

The yellow stableford was won by Paul Mickle, who continues his good form after lockdown with 39 points, beating Bob Nixon by just one point.

The ladies also had a Stableford competition last week, with the weather taking a turn for the worst, as so regularly happens on a Tuesday, the winning score in the 18 hole stableford was won by Julia Lecky with 37 points, beating Wendy Simm by one point.

Summer styles

It's certainly got a lot warmer since the last time we were allowed on the golf course and with this summer weather comes the need for some breathable and comfortable clothing, which we have plenty of in-store.

When it comes to a splash of summer style and clothing that is designed with the golfer in mind, it’s hard to find anything better than adidas’ range of clothing.

Available down at Caldy Golf Club right now, the lightweight polo shirts and mid-layers allow you to play the game completely unrestricted as well as feeling incredibly comfortable as you go about your day on and off the golf course. Oh, and you'll look extremely stylish at the same time!

Make sure you pop in store next time you are on your way through or view the range on our website by clicking the button below.

The best bags for the course

There’s nothing quite like getting your hands on the latest toys and gadgets, whether it’s the fastest new car or a set of the latest top-of-the-range golf clubs. What a feeling!

You wouldn’t want that speedy new car to look like a dusty old wagon though, would you? We want our new gadgets to get people talking, so appearance is important. That’s why you want to walk the fairways with your golf clubs in a bag that looks great.

Callaway offers a wide range of golf bags that look great on your back or on a trolley. Every Callaway bag, from the Hyperlite Zero stand bag to the Org 14 cart bag, provides everything you’ll need on the golf course, including spacious pockets and 14-way dividers.
