Watches and Golf – Amy Boulden wins LET’s Omega Rookie of the Year prize

Amy-Boulden-LET-Rookie-2014

December 14, 2014 – Amy Boulden capped her first season as a professional by winning the Ladies European Tour’s Omega Rookie of the Year prize.

The 21-year-old from Llandudno, in Wales, led the rookie rankings heading into the Omega Dubai Ladies Masters, the final tournament of the 2014. With her tied 24h place finish, she held off the challenge of her nearest rivals, Sally Watson of Scotland and Nicole Broch Larsen from Denmark, to earn a beautiful OMEGA Speedmaster chronograph with a white mother-of-pearl dial, a diamond-paved bezel and a white leather strap.  

“It’s been a really great first season on the Ladies European Tour,” said Amy Boulden, who won the Association Suisse de Golf Ladies Open on the LET Access Series in May. “It was one of my goals from when I turned pro, to win Rookie of the Year.  I thought it was going to be quite tough this year not having a full card.  I wasn’t sure how many events I was going to be playing in but starting the year well has helped me a lot. It’s a real honour to win and join the prestigious list of former winners, including Laura Davies, Annika Sorenstam and Charley Hull.”

Boulden was one of the top performers in 2014 and recorded four top 10 finishes including a second place at the Lacoste Ladies Open de France.

She finished third at the Sberbank Golf Masters in the Czech Republic, fourth at the Ladies German Open presented by Marriott and 10th at the Tenerife Open de España Femenino.

With season’s earnings of €83,982.17, she finished 18th on the 2014 Order of Merit, five places ahead of the second placed rookie Watson.

Watches and Golf – ETIQUS launches a women’s collection

ETIQUS-Portada

November 31, 2014 – ETIQUS, the British brand of distinctive, quality timepieces inspired by the game of golf, has launched a stylish watch collection of seven timepieces, designed with the Lady golfer in mind.

Like all ETIQUS timepieces, this collection combines quality components, such as Swiss made movements, with golf inspired design features that will be appreciated by those who are passionate about golf.

ETIQUS-Lady-1

Gary Butler, Founder and MD of ETIQUS, explains the reasons for launching a watch collection for lady golfers, “About 15% of the 1.5m golfers in the UK are women. Of course, this number is much lower compared to the amount of men involved in the sport, but I believe that avid lady golfers deserve a watch too that embodies their love for the game. For this reason, we extended our initial offering of 17 men’s watches with a women’s collection that comprises of seven stylish and fashionable timepieces.”

Each of the seven watches in the collection has a contemporary and ‘on trend’ look whilst also containing subtle design features that refer to golf, such as the unique dimple patterned face that gives the 3D effect of a golf ball, the red flag second hand and the Butler Bezel originally inspired by the R&A pace of play guidelines. In line with current watch fashion trends, there is a choice of a gold, rose gold or stainless steel bracelets with the option to choose  ceramic centre link inserts to add that touch of class.

“Getting the balance right between fashion and function was key for this collection,” continues Gary Butler. “I wanted women to fall in love with the overall look of the watches first and then discover and appreciate the golf inspired design features upon closer inspection.”
