Hello golfers,

Welcome to the latest edition of our weekly newsletter. In this week's email,  we discuss a fantastic achievement by one man and his caddie as well as some shop news. Enjoy the read.

The longest hole in history

We all love a challenge; beating a personal best or doing something outside of our comfort zone. That feeling of having achieved something beyond what we normally would.

In an attempt to raise $100,000 for children’s charities, one man and his caddie (subsequently joined by an adopted dog on their journey) set out to complete the longest hole in history; a par 14,000 carved out of difficult Mongolian terrain, culminating at the 18th green of Mt. Bogd Golf Club.

It took them 82 days to trek the 2011km hole, facing rocky ground, swamps, icy water and desert in the process – click on the link below to view their video. With only 134 balls lost – with one ball lasting 65km! – the man holed a nervy seven-footer to complete the longest hole in history in 20,093 shots, just the mere 6,093 over par. A really special achievement for some fantastic charities.

Watch their journey here.

Winter is all but here, but while things stay dry golf is still more than possible. However, your wardrobe may need some new additions to help you cope with the colder months and I have just taken in a number of new items, both crested and uncrested.

I have a number of lined sweater options as well modern garments such as quilted jackets. These are from both Greg Norman, ProQuip and Island Green and I'm sure you'll find the prices very competitive with lined sweaters starting at just £45. On top of that I have the new ProQuip waterproof range in both ladies and men's so if your suit needs updating, now would be a good time to take a look at the new offerings.

I still have a sale on shoes although there aren't many left now, but I also have a good stock of waterproof shoes from both FootJoy and Skechers. Again this is the time to check your shoes as the wetter months will be testing them out soon.
