Hello Golfers,

Welcome to this week’s Holywell Pro Shop Newsletter. It's been a busy week at the golf club as we’ve welcomed golfers from far and wide to play the course in both our Seniors Open and The Clwyd and Borders Alliance.

The weather hasn’t been particularly friendly though but that hasn’t stopped anyone. In this week’s newsletter we will recap the competition results from the past week, we ask you to reflet on your season so far and highlight some great shoes from FootJoy. We also consider who the best golfer ever is in the video of the week.

Competition update

Captains Tour 2019 – Formby Hall

This year the Captains Tour ventured up to Southport to play at Formby Hall Golf Resort. 40 golfers went up full of vigour and enthusiasm, many came back battered and bruised by the course and its array of water hazards.

The winner who it seemed played the best golf by some distance was Tim Allison.

Congratulations Tim!

Time for a little reflection

Who doesn’t love the month of June? Long evenings, blistering sunshine (might be a little optimistic here) and plenty of opportunities to hit the course. With much of the season left to go and more competitions on the horizon, it’s time to take note of how you’ve been playing so far this year.

Scenario 1

Hopefully, you've been playing regularly to your handicap or, better still, shooting under it. If that’s the case then happy days, keep up the good work!

But we all know there’s room for improvement.

Perhaps you don’t use a particular club as often as you could simply out of a lack of confidence with it? Or maybe you’re struggling with a destructive shot that is impacting your scores?

Scenario 2

On the other hand, you might be struggling to put a good score together no matter what you try.

Some of you may be recalling a lesson you had from several years back or searching the web for a quick-fix only to be suffering further?

Whether you’re in need of lessons, new equipment or a confidence boost, make sure you utilise our professional advice and skill set by speaking to a member of the team in-store.

The results are in...

Early spring is a great time of year at the golf club as the course begins to take shape and the latest golf gear lands in your very own pro shop. Now that we’re fully stocked and more of you are venturing up the club on a weekly basis, we thought we'd treat you to our top three picks in the footwear department for 2019.

Skechers Mojo Elite

Quite simply, the spikeless outsole on this model from Skechers is unlike anything we've ever seen before.

Add in its mesh upper and supreme out-of-the-box comfort and you have a real winner in our eyes.

Skechers Pro V4

The soft spikes in the Pro V4 ensure perfect traction across all conditions to keep you swinging with confidence on every shot.

Thanks to the H2O shield on this shoe's upper, you'll also be able to enjoy dry feet in even the harshest of conditions.

Skechers Elite V3

Another spikeless option from Skechers but one that comes in a more traditional looking golf shoe.

Its Resamax insole provides lightweight cushioning so you feel as if you're effortlessly bouncing around the course.

Spotlight: PING's latest driver

The G410 range, which was released at the beginning of 2019, is seriously impressive and has resulted in some very happy golfers at the club.

Well, to sit alongside the G410 Plus and G410 SFT drivers, PING has just released the G410 LST, which stands for Low Spin Technology.

Which of these three drivers is best for you? Let's find out during a one-to-one custom fit session.

Video of the Week

Who deserves to be referred to as golf's G.O.A.T (Greatest Of All Time)? For many, it boils down to two individuals: Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus.
