With 36 holes remaining, Ally Ewing (née McDonald), the 30-year old Mississippian holds a handsome margin that looks hard to bridge. As play commenced on Friday, 59 players started at even par or better and were within four shots of Ally Ewing’s opening 68. However, the American seized control and flew out of the blocks on a sunny Surrey Friday, surging into an extremely commanding position. Five birdies on the outward nine, which is certainly the more challenging of the two this week, was exceptional play to put her seven clear at one point. (Photo by Chloe Knott/R&A/R&A via [...]
As anticipation builds for the opening tee shot of the 2023 AIG Women’s Open to be hit at 06.30 tomorrow by Englishwoman Mel Reid, much has been made of how long the course has been playing during the practice days. On Tuesday, the course endured some torrential rain, and the site is noticeably soft in certain areas. Naturally, you would assume that such conditions would play right into the hands of the longer hitters on the LPGA and LET Tours. However, the picture doesn’t seem that clear. Speaking today in her press conference, Nelly Korda raised an interesting point about [...]
On Thursday, the world's best will descend on Walton-on-the-Hill for the 2023 instalment of The AIG Women’s Open where Ashleigh Buhai will be defending her crown, having won at Muirfield last year in a nail biting - albeit slow paced - playoff. The event is also throwing in some extra special touches: an Ellie Goulding concert on Saturday night and a reimagined fan experience. In anticipation I took to the comprehensive book about the clubs’ founding architect - Herbert Fowler, ‘Matter of Course’ by Derek Markham ably supported by revered golf historian Philip Truett - to try and learn a [...]
Words by Charlie In my opinion, last week’s Senior Open at Royal Porthcawl was the most entertaining tournament to be broadcast this year. It had everything. Perhaps I am biased: I love links golf, I love Royal Porthcawl, and I love watching the world’s best tackle conditions akin to the Winter Medal. There’s also something just very amusing about watching Padraig Harrington try to negotiate the complications of a beanie hat.

We sat down with equipment expert, golf pervert and good friend James Day (aka @urbancustomclubs) to discuss the R&A and USGA's proposed changes to the golf ball regulations. We delved into what the new local rule could mean for players, how it might affect equipment manufacturers, and what it could mean for the future of the game. James offered some valuable insights on the topic, drawing on his years of experience in the industry. It was a fascinating conversation that shed light on some of the potential implications of these changes, and we encourage all golf fans to [...]
