Hello Golfers,

Welcome to this week’s Holywell Pro Shop Newsletter. It's been a mixed few weeks at the golf club with lots of awful weather mixed in with some better stuff. Luckily for us Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays have stayed relatively dry and we’ve been able to fulfil all our fixtures. The Seniors and Ladies have both enjoyed their Christmas lunches and the Kids Christmas party was fantastic as ever.

This will be my last newsletter of 2019 so I was just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you all for your support over the past year it's very much appreciated!

It’s been another busy year at Holywell with a few comings and goings in the clubhouse but the club is in a really good position. Thanks to the hard-working committee members who volunteer their time for free and the staff, the club is moving forward and always improving. We have taken on over a dozen new members in the past 2 months and that’s a testament to the course and the friendliness of our current membership.

From Myself, Sophie, Max, Ian and Alan we wish you very Merry Christmas and a fantastic New Year!

Whatever the weather

How old is your waterproof jacket? A recent survey indicated that 60% of golfers are wearing one that is over two years old and if you’re one of them – or if you’re struggling to remember when you bought yours – it might be time to consider upgrading this winter.

Lots of today’s jackets come with a two or three-year waterproof warranty, which means that if you’re part of the above stat your jacket’s best days may be behind you.

We have plenty of options available in the pro shop, including FootJoy’s HydroLite V2 rain jacket, which is 15% lighter than the original HydroLite with a ton more stretch to keep you swinging freely!

It's so important...

How many greens do you hit in regulation during a round? It’s probably fair to say it’s fewer than you would like, which means your wedge game needs to be sharp to save you shots. Yes, technique plays a huge part but so do the wedges that you use.

What state are yours in?

If your wedges are several years old, there's a good chance the grooves would have worn away to a point where the spin they produce is massively reduced.

Brands have worked tirelessly to ensure their grooves last longer than ever, but weekly golf will inevitably result in them wearing away slowly over time.

Take these for a spin

If yours have reached a point of no return, why not try out Vokey's SM7 wedge to see if you enjoy a better feel, more control and increased spin?

Come and speak to a member of the team in-store if you're interested, or watch our review to find out more.
