Gentleman's Summer Meeting

It was great to see a record number of competitors taking part in the Gentlemen's Summer Meeting this year, a total of 103 players played on Sunday. Both courses were in magnificent condition with the greens running fast and true. Congratulations to Edward Cartwright (pictured) for winning the Donald Steel Cup for the third time and to Adam Maurice (pictured) for a very convincing victory in the Mackenzie Bowl.

The Second Major of the Year

Erin Hills takes centre stage this week as the US Open rolls into town for the very first time.

It's probably the closest course America has to a links course we see every year at The Open with its tremendously undulating greens and fairways, not to mention the ridiculous 8,100 yardage from the back tees. Be sure to click on our Video of the Week here to view the course for yourself.

So who's in with a chance of winning? Well, accuracy off the tee is going to be paramount; not just to give the pros the best opportunity to hit the right portion of the green, but also because if they're two yards wide of the fairway then they're sure to be hacking out sideways from the two-feet tall rough.

Reigning champion Dustin Johnson is the unsurprising favourite heading into the week having been in incredible from with three wins already this year. Can you see past the world number one?
