The denouement of the KPMG Women’s Irish Open at Dromoland Castle ended in drama when Anne Van Dam had her driver snapped in two by a spectator rope as she was driven back to the 18th tee in a buggy to take part in a three-way play-off for the title.

The days of Stylo golf shoes for every golfing occasion are long gone. We want a lot more from our golf shoes these days—to the point where many of us have different pairs for different seasons.For the winter, we seek robust, waterproof, dark-coloured models that laugh at saturated, rough and muddy fairways. In summer, we want something more refined. We want to leave behind the winter shoes that you could probably climb Ben Nevis with and swap them for something you might wear to the pub or go for a run in.Out goes a search for the ultimate traction; in…
