Open Week
Last week's Open Week was played in mostly sunshine and the comments from many visitors regarding our course were very positive. It was nice to see some old faces and to hear that a few four balls are going to rejoin us after a small sabbatical. A big thanks to Lee and his staff for preparing the course each day I personally know how early a start Open Week is for you all. Another huge thanks goes to our Hon Sec Robin Pooke, who without fail, had the full set of results including twos on my counter by 9:00am the next morning. This unseen work is what makes Open Week tick. Thanks Robin for your efficiency. I didn't want to bore you all with all the results, but every day is shown below... I must mention the stand out score of 40 points to win the Saturday of Open Week by Simon Miskelly (a gross 66). It was blowing a gale and 66 was truly special, congratulations Simon. Another notable result was the payout of £102 in the Mixed Greensomes! Another reason why entering the twos club is always worth it. Results were as follows:

Ladies Competition
The ladies played for the Nellie Garrett Foursomes Trophy on Tuesday with Christine Owens and Rosie Clements shooting an impressive 41 points to win by four shots over Rosanne Fulton and Maureen McWhinney 37 points. It was double delight for the winners as they recorded the only two of the day to collect £40 for their two.
A nice touch from one of our Sponsors...
Simon Swail from Limetree Residential Care Home sponsored the Thursday of Open Week. He placed a small tree beside every tee marker around the course, it was a nice touch with many positive comments from visitors and members alike.

Mid Season MOT
Leave in your set of clubs and let me look and advise you on whether you need new grips? Do your wedges need re-grooved? Are your ferruls loose? Pictured is my grip bar showing every popular grip on offer today. I also give discounts for getting more than six clubs re-gripped. It's not until you get new grips that you feel and see the difference. Pop in and let me have a look at your clubs. I also have a full selection of putter grips.... they can and will make a difference!

New Titleist Ball Stand
As one of three Titlesit Ambassadors in N. Ireland our pro shop was selected to have the latest golf ball shelving. Pictured is the new golf ball display in the pro shop and we will always stock the latest brands at competitive prices. Buying dozens or even double dozens is the best way to buy. The new TaylorMade TP5 ball as used by Rory, Dustin, Jason and Sergio is selling very well. If you would like any help and or advice on golf balls, click here to book a ball fitting.
