and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
Teaming up with trailblazing golf brand Stromberg to launch the Autumn/Winter collection - that allows golfers to attack the green whatever the weather may throw at them - Foxy put the collection through its paces in the iconic location of Land’s End - which is renowned for having some of the wildest weather in Britain.
In fact, it’s precisely the infamous British weather that Jason Fox believes is key to Brits’ success on both the fairway, and the armed forces.

“The same applies to the golf course. If you can master the game when it’s lashing down - then when it’s blue skies and sun overhead, it’s an absolute breeze. This new Stromberg collection provides the ultimate all-weather protection - so there’s absolutely no excuse not to be out on the fairway.
“Golf is both incredibly challenging but worth putting the effort in for. I’d certainly consider bringing my handicap down as big a challenge as training for the SAS.”
Practising his swing on the rocks and hills that border the famed landmarks at Land’s End, Jason Fox was clad in a range of the latest A/W gear, including the Bandit Waterproof Jacket, composed using Stromberg’s most water-resistant & breathable fabric, and the Tour Classic Waterproof Spiked Golf Shoes, featuring a stylish design with dynamic traction to provide on-course versatility.

Relax
“It’s so important to have a laugh and relax on the fairway. Golf is such a great release for me. When you’re having a round it’s important to chat. It definitely helps keep me on the straight and narrow mentally.”
Be brave
“You have to have the courage to put yourself into environments you might be uncomfortable in. It’s all down to the discipline of being able to operate at a very high level under any circumstances.”
