Solheim Cup 2024: These vice-captains will lead Team Europe

Suzann Pettersen, the captain of the European team, has announced her four vice-captains for the 2024 tournament at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Virginia. Among them is Mel Reid from England, who will support the team alongside Laura Davies, Caroline Martens and Anna Nordqvist, who have already served as vice-captains at the 2023 Solheim Cup in Finca Cortesin in Andalusia.

Solheim Cup 2024: New vice-captains appointed

With Reid, Davies, Nordqvist and Martens, Pettersen has put together a high-calibre team to hopefully continue Team Europe’s success from the last Cup in Andalusia. The last event ended in a dramatic 14-14 draw after a tense tournament – Team Europe only retained the trophy because of their victory in the previous year. Pettersen’s selection of vice-captains emphasises a deliberate strategy to combine the experience of her vice-captains with the winning momentum of the last tournament.

The Look ahead: Preparations for Virginia

The training season for the 19th edition of the tournament is already in full swing and the strategic direction of the European team promises an exciting and fierce contest. With the appointment of Davies, Martens and Nordqvist, Pettersen is relying on a mix of experience, success and team spirit to win the 2024 Solheim Cup against the American team. In Mel Reid, who already served as vice-captain in 2019 and is a six-time winner of the Ladies European Tour and four-time participant of the Solheim Cup, Pettersen gains an experienced and vital key figure for this year’s Solheim Cup 2024.

Motocaddy: New new cart bag range 2024

Motocaddy is providing golfers with an abundance of choice this season by launching four brand new models in contemporary styling and colourways, while incorporating more spacious pockets and game-enhancing features than ever before.
The latest bags include a new luxury M-TECH top of the range model, as well as all-new versions of the brand’s best-selling Dry-Series, feature-packed Club-Series and compact Lite-Series, alongside this season’s versatile HydroFLEX carry bag launched last Autumn.

The 2024 bag range is completed by the popular Pro-Series model and award-winning PROTEKTA organiser cart bag – bringing the total Motocaddy selection this year to seven feature-packed models in 19 different colourway combinations, making it easy for golfers to match an eye-catching and functional bag with the trolley of their choice.

“We continue to lead the way in providing golfers with the largest selection of golf bags designed specifically with trolley users in mind,” said Marketing Director, Oliver Churcher. “While it’s not easy to change something as popular as the previous Dry-Series, we believe we’ve enhanced the look and features on this year’s bag as well as the other new models to provide something to suit every golfer at different price points. We continually strive to improve our products to enhance the enjoyment for everyone out on the course,” he added.

The new Motocaddy card bag range 2024

Combining top-quality materials with luxury finishes, the new M-TECH cart bag is styled to complement any Motocaddy electric trolley, not just the premium trolley of the same name. Incorporating cutting-edge Carbon design and wide-ranging features, the new M-TECH bag includes 14 full-length dividers, a jumbo putter well, plus Chromed zip pullers and accessory hook.
There are 10 spacious pockets – the most ever included within a Motocaddy bag – offering four options for garments, plus spaces for dry valuables, insulated food & drink items, and an easy-access external beverage pouch. Additional features include an umbrella sleeve, towel hook, strap passthrough channel, pen holder and scorecard pouch.

As with each bag and trolley in the range, the M-TECH cart bag also features the brand’s exclusive EASILOCK® system that locks it onto a Motocaddy trolley and removes the need for a lower bag support strap. Two holes on the trolley’s lower bag support align with two removable pins on the base of the bag to ensure golfers can secure their bag more easily and quicker than ever before. The flagship M-TECH cart bag is available from March in a classy Black/Charcoal.

The new Dry-Series card bags 2024

Super-lightweight and 100% waterproof thanks to the durable TPU Nylon fabric, thermo sealed zips and heat-welded seams, the latest bags in the award-winning Dry-Series feature nine spacious pockets, 14 full-length dividers and easy-open Japanese YKK zips for snag free opening.
Additional features include new thermoform panels for added styling and a premium feel not normally seen on waterproof bags, an umbrella sleeve, a Velcro glove patch, towel hook, pen holder and scorecard pouch, plus a removable panel at the front of the bag to allow for club cresting.

The waterproof fabric is supported by a waterproof rain hood, with the bag providing easy-access carry handles and an anti-twist base for seamless transportation on and off the course. Including EASILOCK® compatibility, the new Dry-Series is also available from next month in four eye-catching trim colours (Blue, Red, Lime and Fuchsia).
Lightweight and durable, the new feature-packed Club-Series offers a combination of value and style with nine generous pockets, 14 full-length dividers, an external umbrella holder and a dedicated putter well. Created using a durable Nylon fabric for a premium look, additional features include a towel and accessory hook, scorecard and pen holders and an anti-twist base. Available in three colour trim
options (Red, Blue and Lime).

The new Lite-Series from Motocaddy

Constructed from a super lightweight Nylon fabric, the new Lite-Series is the lightest (2.3kg) and most compact cart bag in the Motocaddy range. Incorporating seven pockets and 14 dividers in a spacious top layout, the Lite-Series includes an impressive selection of standout features, including a waterproof rain hood, towel and accessory hook, an umbrella loop, easy access carry handles, an anti-twist base and EASILOCK® compatibility. Available next month in Blue, Red or Lime trim colours.

“By adding these four new cart bags to the popular HydroFLEX, Pro-Series and PROTEKTA options, we can offer golfers the most comprehensive choice available to match with their electric or push
trolleys. We’re looking forward to seeing even more Motocaddy bags out on golf courses this season,” added Churcher.
With updated modern styling, improved storage options and cutting-edge design, the latest HydroFLEX carry bag provides golfers with the flexibility they need throughout the season, especially during the wetter winter months.
Incorporating game-enhancing features, the super lightweight and waterproof model offers golfers a comfortable carry bag option, featuring an innovative integrated stand system that also fits perfectly
onto any Motocaddy trolley. Standout features include a moulded hip pad, a rear stand lock, and an easily adjustable dual carry strap with quick release connectors for ultimate comfort when carrying clubs around the course.
Easy-open Japanese YKK zips, plus heat-welded seams and an easy-access rain hood provide excellent waterproof protection, while five full length dividers and five spacious pockets offer impressive storage for equipment and valuables. The HydroFLEX is available now in Blue, Lime or Red colourways.
