All the gear: Galvin Green C-Knit goes down a storm

I’m calling it, the golf season has arrived.

Some of us are still on mats and temporary greens but it was 10˚C in Leeds this week so surely that’s cause for celebration.

And it was also nothing short of sensational at Turnberry for our Galvin Green C-Knit reader test this week.

Maybe not ideal for testing waterproofs but we had some excellent feedback on the new suits and will be bringing you full reviews very soon.

I’ve also been down at Woburn testing out more shoes from Under Armour’s 2017 footwear range.

Having already tested the excellent Spieth One and Tempo Hybrids, I had a go with the Tour Tips and Performance Spikeless on the Marquess Course.
