Hello Golfers,

Welcome to this week’s Holywell Pro Shop Newsletter. In this weeks newsletter we will be reviewing the results from the past week and look at some of the work that’s been done to the greens of the past few weeks.

Bamford Trophy

The weather wasn’t so good this week and most players got soaked through to the skin. The course coped with the rain well and it was only the 6th green that really held the water. The weather did finally clear up around 2pm and this showed in the scoring with many of the better scores coming from the late starters.

All credit to Mark Holland (and his partner Vic Roberts who stayed on the course with him) who was one of the early starters that got drenched, Mark came overall second with a great score of +3. Congratulations to Kevin Wilson who won the Bamford trophy with a score of +4 in the bogie format.

Overall:
1st Kevin Wilson - +4
2nd Mark Holland - +3

19-28 Prize:
1st Geraint Davies - -1
Nearest the Pin 12th – Steve Booth
Nearest the Pin 15th – Roger Davies (Again!)

There were 11 two’s recorded, each two received £5.15.

Course update!

Over the past two weeks the greens staff have done some important work to the greens to get the greens back healthy and ready for the winter. Last week the greens had Air 2G2 applied to them, this has the same affect as hollow coring the greens but with a much smaller impact on the playing surface. If you want to see this machine in action with a brief explanation of how it works watch the below video.

Click here to watch.

This week areas of the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 9th, 13th and 14th greens have been hollow tined down to an inch to allow a top dress and seed to be applied.

The areas that have been done are the weaker areas of the greens and we are hoping by over seeding these areas we will start to see some growth before winter starts.

Try out a Motocaddy trolley for FREE

If you haven't tried out one of Motocaddy's latest electric trolleys or are still carrying your clubs for over four miles each round, we'd recommend taking advantage of this promotion. Not only are they an energy saving way to get around the course, but today's trolleys are full of brilliant technology - like GPS - that makes playing with one so much more enjoyable than ever before.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts.

Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia.

In your sight

Sightlines on putters might seem like a nice design, but they are there for a reason as they help you aim your putts more accurately, and help you centre the ball on your putter. But with so many different styles, it can be hard to know which one will aid you the most.

It’s up to you
If you’re a fan of a classic-looking putter, why not try the Select Newport model from Scotty Cameron?

The four-way balanced soles help the putter to sit square at address for easier alignment, whilst the refined contours and toplines give the blade an improved look at address, increasing your confidence on every putt.

Something different
Alternatively, if you prefer a more modern look, definitely consider the Futura 7M.

This high-MOI mallet from Scotty Cameron - meaning it twists less at impact, improving those off-centre putts - comes with a single sightline on the top of the putter, as well as ball-width alignment aids further back to help you line up square on every putt.

Having a ball

When you’re watching the pros you’ll often see them hitting shots with amazing distance off the tee, along with plenty of spin from around the green. The way they strike the ball helps achieve this, but the ball itself is a crucial component of their game.

New: 2018 Srixon Soft Feel

Here are two great options worth trying for a round or two. The new Srixon Soft Feel has been designed for players wanting to hit the ball further with more control, but without paying a premium price tag.

New: 2018 Srixon UltiSoft

The updated UltiSoft ball combines soft feel and extreme distance at an affordable price. It's ideal for players with mid-to-low swing speeds, who are seeking great feel around the greens, a higher launch and maximum distance off the tee.

Spotlight: Srixon Z85 irons and woods

Srixon has tapped into the minds of its tour pros to find out exactly what they want when it comes to irons and woods - and they've created something special as a result.

Introducing the new Z 85 family. With three unique soft-forged iron models giving you everything from maximum distance to ultimate workability, and the stunning new driver, fairway wood and hybrid looking to take your long-game to the next level, could these clubs from Srixon be what you've been looking for?
