There is a show by the World Golf Trick Shot Champions and four golf fashions shows each day!

Check out the website at www.londongolfshow.com for more information on the events and entertainments being held.

Although at first from the picture you may be entitled to think this is some awful styling but having seen the shirt in the shops this is a definite must have this summer. The crazy floral design of the ‘Puma Golf Graphic Polo’ looks good on and will definitely make you stand out from the rest. But wait it gets better (or worse), there are also matching shorts!!

The top is available in a number of colours, it also looks good in white and purple but the green had the stand out factor when I saw it in the shops! At £35 is not too expensive either.

This year’s US Open at the Oakmont course has already been dubbed by Tiger Woods as a tougher challenge than the recent Augusta course at the Masters. After the US Masters Tiger was quick to point out the tough conditions at Augusta and described this as the ‘toughest and ‘most draining’ competition he has ever had.

The three-day US Open starts on 14th June at the Oakmont course, the first time the open has been back here since Ernie Els won it in 1994.

Having played the golf courses in Belek Turkey I must say they really are great – on a par with those in the Algarve in my opinion – and half the cost – even better.

The ‘up and coming’ golf town of Belek is ideal for holidaying or even for property investments. The area is on the rise and with several new courses in progress from the likes of Nick Faldo and Colin Montgomerie the location in my opinion will soon be recognised on the European scene with the likes of the Algarve.

The 2007 US Masters at Augusta is underway, keep up to date with the official leaderborad.

Adidas have unveiled the new Adidas Tour 360 II. I currently use and swear by the original 360 Tours so I am very excited to see they have upgraded into a new model.

The 360 II have a new 360WRAP+ which now surrounds the foot for an ‘ultra-stable’ hitting platform. They have introduced new upgraded 3D FitFoam for extra comfort and a custom fit. A lightweight EVA midsole with adiPRENE cushioning and a new split outsole design with Traxion and anti-clog TPU. The 360 Tour II also now comes with a two year waterproof warranty as apposed to just the one year on the old 360’s.

The 360 IIs are retailing for between £99 and £120 in the UK. The cheapest I have come accross was from elitegolfonline.co.uk at £90.

There is a whole new range of performance footwear now released from Adidas in the US have a look at the Adidas website for more details.

The round one and two grouping are now in. Amongst the names sees the UK’s Ian Poulter first off at 08:00 (US Time!) with American Billy Mayfair. Justin Rose has a tough grouping with Jose Maria Olazabal and Charles Howell III tee time at 11:07. Lee Westwood tees off at 12:13 with Australian Robert Allenby and Brett Wetterich and Darren Clarke takes a 13:19 tee off, but to name a few!

Topgolf is the innovative idea of an interactive ‘target’ driving range currently located accross the south of the UK. The idea is that this game will appeal to every golfer of any ability and interest. Topgolf is a state of the art practice facility including a gym, pro shop from american golf, bar and restaurant.

Located in Watford, Chigwell and Addlestone Topgolf is a world first and having already been a success in the UK is now set for international expansion.

The game works by microchips inside the golf balls which are registered to your unique id. There are several different games, ranging from snooker, chipping, target practice and general play. The chip in the ball enables the computer at each bay to generate feedback on both accuracy and distance.

This innovative idea it has to be said is out of this world! Get two three or four of you in a bay and there is hours of fun to be had.
