Cleveland Frontline Putters

Forget the status quo. Here’s your new paradigm: a forward centre of gravity is better than one in the back. And that’s because it helps you hit straighter putts.

These are the new Frontline Putters. Their tungsten face weights increase accuracy, which means you’ll sink more putts in fewer strokes, all for just £149.95

Keiron Roberts purchased one of these on Friday and then went on to win his division on Saturday!

Greens news

2nd Green improvements

This week the greens staff have been busy installing a drain in the 2nd green. The water that gathers on the front left of the green should be able to be moved much quicker by removing two holes caps. The hole caps will remain in the green throughout the year and you will be able to take relief if they interfere with the line of your putt. Over the next few months, the ground affected will be GUR and we must ask that you avoid standing on the laid turf at all costs to allow it to settle naturally.

Thanks in advance

Joe Bellis - Tribute to a Gentleman

The recent passing of Joe Bellis,Club Captain in 1992 and President in 1998 brings to an end a period in the Club’s history in which one man instigated a policy of respect and dignity to all aspects of the Club’s activities-and that man was Joe Bellis, big in stature and huge in demeanour and personality.

Joe was Halkyn through and through and didn’t take up Golf until comparatively late, his first sporting love being Cricket with his early years gaining a reputation for Sportsmanship around the County and beyond captaining the Halkyn side which won the inaugural Flintshire League in 1958.

Joes involvement in Holywell Golf Club had its beginnings in the Cricket and Golf matches between our Clubs. He decided to swop Bats for Clubs and in doing so started a trend in which the village of Halkyn became the source of membership for many locals following in the footsteps of the man christened ‘The Godfather of the Halkyn Mafia!’ Men like his great friend, Elwyn Thomas, Colin Barker, Bryn Ellis, Bram Hopkins and John Woodfine amongst others followed Joe to Brynford all contributing a great deal to the success of our Club.

His year of Captaincy was one of innovation and initiative both golf-wise and socially and Members supported him to the hilt. It was Joe who introduced the Club Night held on the first Saturday of each month when the Clubhouse was filled with Members and friends wining and dining and enjoying a variety of acts from Singers, Comedians, speciality acts such as Hypnotists etc. All benefitting the Club’s coffers.

Although in Joe’s later years anno domini and failing health restricted his contact with the Club he never lost his interest in its activities and when Kevin and I went to visit him at home or in Hospital his first questions were always about the Club and its members, he retained that interest until the end.

On Monday I heard that Joe’s health was deteriorating so Kevin and I went to visit him for what has turned out to be the last time and although he wasn’t aware of our presence I personally was so grateful to have seen him one last time.

R.I.P. JOE

It's a fair old way

We don’t mean to be gloomy but winter golf can be a little disheartening for several reasons, but none more so than hitting the ball considerably shorter than in summer. A combination of the ball not rolling out as much and it not flying as far through the air results in shorter drives and longer approach shots; so, what’s the best way to deal with it?

First of all, we need to accept that we're going to have to go up a club or two during winter.

We will all find ourselves further back on the fairway than during peak season, which means that you might need to hit a fairway wood off the deck to reach the green.

Fairway woods have been designed to be a lot easier to hit than a decade ago. Take this beauty from Cleveland as an example: its HiBore Crown lowers the centre of gravity for an incredibly easy, high launch.

It can be a tricky shot to play but with the right hardware and technique, we'll have you hitting greens for fun this winter.
