It's great to see so many guys still playing considering it's the middle of November. The kind weather is definitely helping.. I'm hoping the weather stays decent for the next week also as I'm away to play The PGA winter Fourball on Monday at Montrose and I've just had a look at the draw and Paul Lawrie is playing also!

TaylorMade R15 and Aero Burner
This week the R15 and Aero Burner were announced which caused a stir on social media with their #BuildTheClub campaign. One lucky customer got the chance to build the club over a couple of weeks with the help of tour pros, fellow customers and the the golf media. For the last 14 years TaylorMade have been the #1 Driver on tour, so the introduction of R15 and the Aero Burner has got us really excited, and we can't wait to see how they perform!
