Continuing his exclusive column for Golf News, DP World Tour player Dan Bradbury finds that a few costly errors at the wrong time are continuing to frustrate him, but a top-10 finish at the KLM Open will hopefully kickstart a change in fortunes as the busy summer schedule gets into full swing

I’s funny how golf gives you the highest highs and the lowest lows, sometimes within the same hole. That’s just the nature of it – small margins make big differences. And that was never clearer to me than it was at the Turkish Airlines Open, my first tournament back after five weeks away from competitive action. .

Turkey was a lovely place, and we had a great week. The golf course was in immaculate condition – really well set up. There was a good mix of tough, strong par-fours and some risk- reward par-fives, which I loved. But my game? It didn’t quite show up the way I wanted.

NEAR MISS

I shot one-under the first round, which wasn’t bad. The second round, though, I had morning conditions – easier than the first day’s afternoon slot – and I just didn’t take advantage of it early. I played solid on the back nine, gave myself a lot of chances, but just couldn’t convert. And then came the final hole, which I’ll remember for a while.

We finished on the 10th hole that week due to the two-tee start. Normally a par five, it was playing as a 500-yard par four. Water all down the left, trees on the right, and water short of the green. The pin was tucked left, so missing it left was dead, and long was no good either. I hit a perfect drive and left myself 200 yards in over water into that tucked pin. I knew a par would likely make the cut. Bogey maybe still had a chance. Double, and I was definitely out.

So, I played safe — aimed for the middle of the green with a 6-iron, hit a decent shot that just caught the wrong ridge, and ended up with a 45-foot putt. I rolled it too hard, left myself seven or eight feet coming back, and missed. Bogey. Missed the cut by one.

It’s always tough when you’re watching the cutline shift all afternoon. You’ve just got to sit and wait. But that’s the game. The two-tee starts we get every week on the DP World Tour mean that depending on your start, you might finish on a brutal hole or a gettable one. In Turkey, the 10th was a beast to finish on. Other places, like Singapore, the ninth is the tough one, and the 18th is reachable. It adds a layer of complexity, especially when you’re grinding on the cutline.

TIME WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY

Prior to teeing it up in Turkey I had a month off the tour and spent some time back home working on my game and catching up with friends and family. I also went on a golf trip to Portugal with a few mates. Playing golf with friends definitely reminds me why I fell in love with the game in the first place. It’s different, of course. I’m still competitive – bad shots still annoy me – but I don’t second-guess myself as much. I get the number, pick the club, hit the shot. There’s no overthinking. And sometimes I wish I could take that simplicity into tournaments.

HAD A GREAT TIME WITH THE LADS AT QUINTA DO LAGO

After that trip I had some sponsor commitments in London, including a round at Windlesham Golf Club in Surrey with the guys at MASHIE GOLF, which offers organised events at top venues throughout the UK. After that I managed to squeeze in a game at Royal St George’s, which was dry, firm, and breezy, but still one of the best courses I’ve ever played.

In my amateur days, everything was links golf, but funnily enough, I’ve never really had my best

results on links courses. I love them, and think links is the purest form of golf, but something about the greens — the subtle breaks, the flatness, the lighter grass — throws me off.

I drive it straight, pace putt well, but I struggle to read links greens sometimes.

We don’t get to play much links golf on the DP World Tour – which is perhaps no bad thing given
my results on them – but I’m looking forward to the Scottish swing, with the Scottish Open
at Renaissance, and especially the new tournament, the Scottish Championship, which is being held
at Trump International near Aberdeen. I’ve not played it before, but it looks like an exciting course.

US OPEN QUALIFYING

With a break in the DP World Tour schedule caused by the PGA Championship, I took the opportunity to play in US Open qualifying at Walton Heath a couple of weeks ago.

Walton has been good to me in the past — some of my best amateur results came there. I played solidly. Three birdies and three bogeys over 36 holes, but that’s not enough in a qualifier. I was level-par, but it took seven-under to make the top eight. Sometimes, that’s the way it goes. I didn’t play badly, just not well enough.

Qualifying for The Open itself is something I’m undecided on. The R&A moved final qualifying to a Tuesday, which makes it almost impossible for tour players to manage with the travel involved.

If it was still on a Monday, I’d be in. But with a Sunday finish in Italy, travel on Monday, 36 holes on Tuesday, then off to Munich for the BMW International on Wednesday — it’s just not viable. Especially not when you factor in the costs. Between flights, caddie expenses, and accommodation, you’re looking at nearly £2,000.

It’s tough to swallow when you see Open spots given to winners of obscure events in far-off places where some players have little genuine interest in The Open. Meanwhile, national champions like the Spanish or French Open winners don’t get in. I won the French Open last year and finished 30th in the DP World Tour Rankings, which would traditionally have got me an Open spot, but now it’s just the top 25, so I still didn’t get a spot. It doesn’t feel right.

GAME GETTING CLOSER

The Soudal Open in Belgium was tough. My Thursday round was the worst I’ve had in a long time — just nothing was working. Prep was fine, but when Thursday came, I had no control, no confidence. The ball wasn’t going where I wanted it. I knew I needed something special on Friday
to make the cut— six-under or better — and when I missed a few chances early, that was that.

But I didn’t give up. I still tried to take the positives – my short game was solid and my putting felt okay. After missing the cut, I had a good session with my coach. Sent some videos over, got some feedback. Turns out a few old habits had crept back into the swing. Not ideal, but fixable.

Statistically, I usually gain off the tee and on approach. Lately, I haven’t. I’ve been hitting greens, just not close enough. Short game has improved, putting’s been okay — but not great. Still, I know my game is close. I’ve missed seven cuts this year by one shot, including at the Austrian Alpine Open, where I finished tied 67th on level par, with those on -1 under making the cut. Those are the fine margins we’re dealing with, but the Belgium round was the first time I really wasn’t in it.

ALL CHANGE AT KLM

Thankfully, things turned around at the following week’s KLM Open in The Netherlands, where a top-10 finish has provided me a bit of positive momentum. I got off to a really good start, holing a few early putts to go three under after eight holes, but I gave all those shots back around the turn, and then kind of hung in there to be one-over for the first round. It was pretty windy for the second round – gusting 40mph and it was just a case of limiting the damage and hoping everyone else was finding scoring
as tough as I was.

Thankfully that proved the case and my +3 total for 36 holes was two shots inside the cut mark. I played pretty solidly over the weekend, shooting 71 on Saturday and then fired a 66 on Sunday to move 40 spots up the leaderboard on the final day into a share of seventh. They were tough scoring conditions, so I’m proud of how I dug deep over the those closing holes and got the best possible result out of what was a difficult week.

With so many tournaments in Europe over such a short period of time, I decided to drive my own car between events, rather than flying back and forth. It’s been a 3,000-mile-plus road trip through some amazing countryside and I really enjoyed having my feet on ground. Compared
to flying – packing bags, checking clubs, airport stress – driving’s a dream.

Right now, I’m having a couple of weeks off before playing the Italian Open, the BMW International in Germany, and the Scottish Open. It’s a busy stretch, but they’re all relatively close together, so there’s less travel stress and hopefully they’ll bring some better results.

As Bush Hill Park Golf Club celebrates its 130th year, it proudly reflects on its rich history while looking ahead to a bright and sustainable future.

Nestled within 100 acres of tranquil parkland, just a short walk from Enfield town centre and a short drive from the M25, this historic club has been a welcoming home from home for golfers for over 130 years – and looks set to remain so for generations to come.

Beyond its stunning setting and impressive heritage, Bush Hill Park has earned a reputation for excellence, winning Golf Club of the Year five times – a nod from England Golf plus four in the prestigious Club Mirror Awards.

Despite its long history, the Club continues to evolve with a forward- thinking approach to sustainability and inclusivity.

BRAID TEST

The 18-hole course, designed by the legendary James Braid, may not be the longest at 5,776 yards, but its challenging layout ensures that golfers of all abilities must bring their best game.

Narrow, tree-lined fairways, well- placed hazards, and a memorable closing stretch from holes 13 -18 – including water features on the par three 13th and par four 17th offer an enjoyable and strategic test for all players.

With dedicated resources, the Club has reinforced its commitment to sustainability both on and o the course, and that golf can become a valued leader in sustainability.

Two-time DP World Tour winner Dan Bradbury kicks off his exclusive new column with Golf News by reflecting on his fast start since joining the pro game in 2022 and outlining his ambitions for the season ahead 

Winning so early in my career was both a blessing and a curse. When I turned pro in 2022, I won the Joburg Open in my third start on the DP World Tour.

I was playing on an invitation and had only recently started out on the Challenge Tour, so to suddenly find myself winning a top tier event and getting a DP World Tour card was beyond my wildest dreams.

In some ways, winning that early can give you a false sense of what professional golf is about. Some guys spend years grinding on the Challenge Tour before they get their break, honing their craft and getting used to the lifestyle.

But I felt like I was ready. Five years of playing college golf in the US gave me plenty of experience, and while I was technically a rookie, I didn’t feel like one.

LOOKING BACK

My first tour invite was at Hillside for the Cazoo Classic in 2022, and that was a reality check — I felt like a rabbit in the headlights. But my second start, in Madrid, was much better.

I finished 13th and walked away knowing I’d played solid golf but still left shots out there. That was a big confidence boost heading into the Joburg Open. I realised I wasn’t just there to make up the numbers – I could actually compete.

One of the biggest adjustments from playing amateur to professional golf is playing for money. Most pros will tell you they don’t think about it much — they’re just focused on the next shot. I’d say, for the most part, that’s true for me as well.

But there have been spells where I’ve worried too much about money. Winning early helped alleviate that pressure. It allowed me to step back and think, ‘I’m set for the year. I don’t need to stress about the money — I just need to play well.’

HUGE WIN IN PARIS

My second win came at the Open de France in Paris last October. Up until that point my season had been a bit a struggle, with a lot of missed cuts and a general lack of consistency.

I felt that my season turned around at the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth in September.  I had made some significant changes in the summer – including getting a new caddie – and while I felt like I had turned a corner, the results weren’t reflecting that yet.

Making the cut at Wentworth and then having a great final round was a huge confidence boost. I took that momentum into the next few weeks, and not long after I got the win in France. That moment meant a lot — not just as a validation of my form, but as a reassurance that I was making the right choices with my game.

I wouldn’t say I felt like the win was coming. I definitely felt like I was underperforming, I was playing much better than my scores suggested, and I felt I deserved more out of the rounds I was putting together.

But to say I could feel a win on the horizon? No, I wouldn’t go that far. That being said, I had sensed some good results were just around the corner.

It had been like that all year, really. I had a good result in Italy, even had a chance to win there, but I completely fell apart on the last three holes. Aside from that, my year hadn’t been great.

Dan Bradbury secured his card for the next two seasons after winning in Paris

NEW MAN ON THE BAG

My new caddie, Asa Phillips, has been a great addition. We knew each other from the Clutch Pro Tour, and I liked the way he worked. The fact that he’s a good player himself is important to me.

He reads greens exceptionally well and holds me accountable — two things I was really looking for in a caddie.

My immediate goal for this season is to improve my ranking from last year — I finished 36th in the Race to Dubai in 2023, then 30th last year.

Getting a PGA Tour card is the obvious next step for me, and another win would certainly help. It’s difficult to improve in the Race to Dubai standings without winning.

My consistency is also something I want to work on. Last year I missed 13 or 14 cuts, but nine of those were by a single shot.

That stat alone tells me my game is better than my results suggest. At last week’s Ras Al Khaimah Championship, for example, I played solid golf but made a couple of mental mistakes at the wrong time and missed the cut by one shot.

It’s frustrating, but it’s all part of the learning experience. I’ve always believed in sticking to what got me here in the first place. If you’re playing well, don’t change anything. I didn’t follow my own advice last week, and looking back, I think that happened a few times last year as well.

TOOLS OF THE TRADE

Equipment-wise, I made a few changes over the off-season. I put the new Ping G440 driver and three-wood in the bag, which have been great additions.

I’m getting a bit of extra distance, with a slightly lower spin rate. I slightly altered the grind on my Ping S159 lob wedge, but aside from that, most of my setup remains the same.

I’m testing out whether I want another club that gives me the same distance as my Ping iCrossover 3-iron, but with a different flight—maybe a 7-wood, 5-wood, or hybrid – but I’m still working that one out.

I’ve also putt Titleist’s new Pro V1x into play, but it’s too early to say what kind of difference I’m seeing from it compared to the previous model.

PUTTING DECISION

One of the major changes I made last year in terms of my equipment was switching to a long putter. I’d been struggling with my putting — especially from inside 20 feet. I was statistically one of the worst putters on tour.

I sat down with Phil Kenyon and Mike Kanski after The Open, and they both encouraged me to try a broom-handle. Phil said, ‘If it helps you putt better, will you use it?’ I said, ‘Of course.’ He told me I’d know within 24 hours if I could make the switch, and he was right.

I got a Ping Oslo XL and took it straight to the practice green. It felt strange at first, but it was effective. Statistically, I gained about a shot per round after switching, which is a huge improvement at this level.

MY SUPPORTERS

In addition to being supported by Ping, and managed by Octagon Golf, I have a great group of sponsors who have helped me to get to where I am today, including MASHIE Golf, Eurocams, the LPW Group, and The Chambers Hotel in Leeds. I’m so grateful for their continued support.

I’m attached to Wakefield Golf Club in Yorkshire, where I have been a member since I was eight. They’ve very generously made me an honorary member there now, and it’s always nice to come back and catch up with the members and old friends.

I’ve been coached by Steve Robinson over at Sandburn Hall in York since I was about 13 or 14. He coached me when I played for Yorkshire Boys and I can always trust him to sort out any issues I might be having with my swing.

Dan Bradbury is a brand ambassador for MASHIE Golf

LEARNING PROCESS

One of the biggest adjustments to playing on the DP World Tour has been dealing with different conditions that we face week to week. For example, the greens at the Dubai Desert Classic were running at 12.5, while in Ras Al Khaimah they were closer to 10.5.

That doesn’t happen on the PGA Tour, where the greens are consistent week in, week out. Rough conditions also vary massively — from dense jungle-like rough one week to wispy, patchy rough the next.

Learning how to adjust to these variations is an important skill.
Course-wise, I’ve had good results at places like Houghton in South Africa, where I won and then finished third last year.

It’s similar to Wakefield, my home club back in Yorkshire where I grew up — tight, short, with sloped greens. Generally,

I feel like I have the game to compete on any course. If you’re on tour, you should be able to adapt to any conditions.

FRIENDS ON TOUR

On tour, I tend to stick with the Yorkshire lads — Sam Bairstow, Dan Brown, Josh Berry, and Ben Schmidt. It’s nice having a group to practice with and go to dinner with.

When I was new to the tour, I got along well with guys like James Morrison and Jamie Donaldson, who were always happy to chat and offer little bits of advice, and I’m happy to do the same for the guys like Ben who are coming through.

British players tend to look out for each other, although it’s also important to remember that we are rivals!

MY SCHEDULE

Scheduling-wise, I’m planning to play a similar number of events this season as I did last year, around 27-28, but I’m going to take some time off in April — about six weeks – to work on my game at home.

When you only have two or three weeks off at a time, there’s little opportunity for serious practice. You’re either preparing for an event or recovering from one. I want time to really work on my game, the way I could in amateur golf during the winter.

Since turning pro, I’ve mostly been maintaining my game rather than making real improvements. This break will give me a chance to focus on that.

I’m really excited for the season ahead. South Africa has always been good to me, so I’m looking forward to playing the Joburg Open again next month, especially as my parents are coming down to watch.

After that, I’ll play in Singapore at the beginning of March before my break, then return in Turkey in May. The goal remains the same — keep improving, keep learning and, hopefully, keep winning!
