Golf on Tour

Deja vu

After a crazy few days of the good, the bad & the ugly at TPC Sawgrass, we appeared to have a repeat of the previous week’s Sunday shoot-out between Bryson DeChambeau and Lee Westwood at the Players Championship…

We didn’t know it at the time but the winner was ultimately decided on the fourth hole. Bryson topped his tee-shot into the water before Westwood sliced his into the drink. Having made a double-bogey six and a bogey respectively, suddenly Bryson and Lee seemed very relatable! In the end, it was Justin Thomas who came through the chasing pack to claim a one-shot victory after what he described as “one of the best rounds of my life tee-to-green.”

If you have trouble off the tee – topping, slicing or anything else – we can certainly help you out. Just send us a message via the button below.

Let’s play with pride

We take a lot of pride in our golf club, and we hope that shows. We also hope that you’re proud of your club too. So with lots of golf set to be played in 2021, why not treat yourself to a piece of club crested apparel?

Glenmuir’s range of shirts, sweaters and jackets are all available with our crest smartly embroidered on the chest or sleeve. No matter where you go in the world – on or off the golf course – you can show everybody that you’re a proud member of Verulam Golf Club.

Glenmuir treat embroidery as an art form; every bespoke garment is crafted with quality and class. Hand-finishing and pressing every crest shows that Glenmuir love what they do just like we love our club. So, why not show that you love our club too?

What do fairway woods give you?

The first question to ask yourself is: ‘What does a fairway wood add to my golf game?’. Any club that’s going in your bag should be giving you something you wouldn’t have without it; different shots and distances to any other club.

Titleist TSi Fairway Woods

Well, when it comes to hitting those different shots, a fairway wood is incredibly useful. The versatile design gives you a safe option off the tee, a lengthy shot from the fairway and can even help you get out of tight spots in the rough or around the greens. The clubs have evolved for this purpose.

Titleist TSi fairway woods are a perfect example of the way new technology boosts these benefits. The Active Recoil Channel 4.0 pairs with unique performance engineering in each model for incredible, easy distance from the tee or the turf.

It’s not long until you can get playing again, so click the button below to find out about booking a fitting with us in the near future.
