Key features at Le Golf National For the first time in the history of The Ryder Cup, the tournament will be being held in France at Le Golf National. Opened in 1990, the course has a reputation for being one of the most demanding on the European Tour. We take a look at some of the key features of the par 72, 7,331 yard course which could prove pivotal in the quest for victory. Water – it’s everywhere
The first thing you’ll notice when you’re watching The Ryder Cup this year is how much water is on the course. It’s there for a reason, the clay silt of the Parisian basin means that without the man-made lakes the course would be extremely boggy and muddy after rain. It makes numerous appearances throughout, featuring on no fewer than 10 holes, including three of the last four. This will make players on both sides think about club choice, with a driver off the tee not being the most sensible solution on most occasions.
The 18th
We just mentioned how tough the last four holes are and it doesn’t get any tougher than the intimidating 18th. You’ll need a long and accurate tee shot to allow yourself a short club into the island green. Too far left and you’ll be in the drink, but stray to the right and you’ll find yourself in some seriously thick rough. It’s a serious test under any circumstance, factor in the tension which The Ryder Cup brings and it turns into an absolute monster of a hole. |
The last Major of the LPGA season for 2018 was played over the course of last week, with American Angela Stanford coming out on top. Stanford finished on -12 to win the Evian Championship, one shot ahead of compatriot Amy Olson, who double-bogeyed the last. Stanford's first Major win comes at the age of 40, proving that determination and desire does eventually pay off. |
With the Ryder Cup coming up next week, we can expect plenty of tense moments, particularly on the greens. You’ll probably notice that players on both sides will have the ability to hole out under huge amounts of pressure – who can forget Ian Poulter’s clutch putt on the 16th green at Medinah in 2012? |
Find a putter you can trust To replicate these kind of putts, whether that's in the monthly medal or playing for money with your friends, you need to choose a flatstick you can trust. Why not try out one of Scotty Cameron’s Futura putters? The current range involves several high-MOI mallets with tour-proven shapes, as well as improved alignment features and feel. Some of the best players in the world, such as Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth, have Scotty putters in the bag, so you can be sure you’ll be in good company. |
