I'm pleased to announce on Tuesday, 30 May I will be hosting a Scotty Cameron Putter Fitting Day on our putting green at Knock. All models, left and right hand, will be at Knock with the leading fitter in the UK on hand to get you the best results. The unrivaled build quality and feel is amazing.

What A Difference A Week Makes

The sprinklers were in action for the first time this year at Knock. The definition is great and the greens are starting to run smoother. Here are a few photos also taken from the Hat Competition on Wednesday.

   

 

Mary Peters Trust Competition

The ladies played in the Mary Peters Trust competition with young Katie Poots continuing her great recent run by winning the event with 39 points. Second place went to Patricia Jordan also with 39 points and Eve McCracken snatched third prize with 39 points also. Sharon Crozier recorded the only two of the day collecting a massive £46. Congratulations to all the winners this week who have spent time with myself in the Swing Studio over the last few months. Hard work WILL pay off... and to young Katie now cut to handicap 12, not bad aged 11!

May Day Open Stableford

On Monday we held a very successful May Day Open Stableford and the feedback from the 50 visitors who took part was great, with plenty of people making a point of coming in to tell me how good the course was playing. It's always nice to hear, especially from Malone, Belvior and Shandon members. Results are as follows:

First place - Andrew Finlay (41 points), second place - James McVicker (36 points, BB9), third place -Richard Fulton (36 points, BB9) and in fourth place - Tim Larmout (36 points).
Best gross - Adam Welsh (75, BB9) and second gross score - P. Bell (75, BB9).
First placed lady - Heather Ward (35 points, BB9) and in second placed lady - Jill Brown (35 points, BB9).

The twos paid out £16.50 and all monies have been transferred to your pro shop accounts. The Open was a huge success with over 100 entries which is a testament to how good the golf course is, the weather and also improved marketing. I would urge all members to bring a guest or two and enter the Club's Open competitions.

New Direction For The European Tour

Two weeks and two new formats introduced onto the circuit. Last week saw the PGA Tour host a team event for the first time since 1981 and it's safe to say it was a huge success. The players were able to choose their partner for the week, providing us with a little insight into the relationships amongst players on Tour. Playing two rounds foursomes and two rounds 4BBB, Jonas Blixt and Cameron Smith came out eventual winners but only after a four-hole playoff against Kevin Kisner and Scott Brown on Monday morning.

This week sees the European Tour take centre stage in trying to revitalise golf to the masses with their GolfSixes event. There will be 16 two-man teams competing over six holes in a series of head-to-head matches, with one team being crowned champions come Sunday afternoon. The six holes all differ drastically; from music and pyrotechnics on the first tee to a long drive competition on the third to a nearest the pin on the fifth.

It promises to be an exciting event but only time will tell whether it catches on and helps grow the game of golf. In the meantime, watch our GolfSixes video here.
