Hello golfers,

Welcome to the latest edition of our weekly newsletter. In this week's email, we review a fantastic achievement by a young English golfer, talk about some offers running in-store, and we have a brilliant video of some of your favourite European Tour golfers giving the public some (interesting) coaching advice. Enjoy the read.

Golf’s a tough game

It’s been a fantastic year of golf on the European Tour and so it was only fitting that we were left guessing right until the final hole of the season as to who would be crowned Race to Dubai champion 2017.

For those of you who don’t know, the Race to Dubai is the European Tour’s order of merit title and is won by the golfer who has accumulated the most points over the year - a sure sign of consistency. The higher up the leaderboard you finish in a European Tour event – including the four Majors – the more Race to Dubai points you receive.

Heading into the final event last week, Tommy Fleetwood led the way with only Justin Rose and Sergio Garcia in with a chance of overtaking him. Come Sunday it was Rose, looking to secure his third victory in a row, who was in pole position until an uncharacteristically poor back nine saw the Englishman tumble back into the pack, paving the way for Fleetwood to claim his maiden Race to Dubai title.

To win any OoM title requires consistently good golf over a long period of time, something that we all strive for and something that a series of lessons with us can go a long way in helping you to achieve.

Saturday Competition

Last Saturday saw a 4 Man Team with the best two scores to count which was won with 78 points by Shaun Leonard, James Shiel, James McLellan and Alan Carey, 2 points ahead of Rick Gajewski, Mark Thompson, Peter Simcock and Trevor Keep with 76 points. 

Junior Stableford

Joel Mathieson took top honours in the Junior Stableford with a great score of 40 points, 3 points clear of Brandon Greenall with 37 points, while Todd Harper was in third with 34 points. 

HGGC PGA Charity Pro-Am - Friday, 13 July 2018

Hazel Grove Golf Club will be hosting their annual Charity PGA Pro-Am next year on Friday, 13 July 2018 (so plenty of time to save the date). The cost of entering a team of 3 is just £299 and your fourth team member will be a PGA Professional. Your PGA Professional will be with you for the best part of the day, sharing their golfing knowledge and experiences which will definitely benefit your team.

HOW IT WORKS
On arrival you will allocated a PGA Pro to your team (of 3 amateurs), you’ll spend some time getting to know your Pro, then off you go – just treat the game like a casual round of golf. There will be 2 competitions running at the same time. One for the team as a whole and one for the Pros who will be entering their own competition alongside the team comp, the Pro will be focussed on his/her own game as there is a substantial Pro’s Prize Fund at the end but it really is a remarkable experience.

If you’ve ever thought of playing in a Pro-Am and haven’t got round to it yet, then you should strongly consider playing in this one.

It’s a great day all round and also a good way for businesses to entertain customers/reward staff for just £100 per person (think of the cost of playing 9 or 18 holes with a Pro!). For £100 you will be playing in a fantastic comp, with 18 holes of golf, bacon sandwich/coffee, good camaraderie and a meal after the game – this is excellent value and one not to be missed, plus you’ll have the opportunity to meet lots of other people/professionals and win prizes. This is open to any golfer of a reasonable standard (Ladies and Gents).

Please see the attached flyer for more detailed information and sponsorship opportunities.

If you are not able to enter but know someone else who may be interested, please pass on the flyer/entry form. It’s not restricted to members and most companies will appreciate the opportunity. If you can’t get a team together but would like to play yourself, just give James your name and he will try and put a team together for you.

Why not sponsor a Hole (or two) for just £50 per hole? BARGAIN!
You provide your company banner – we will do the rest. It’s a great way to promote your company profile and brand awareness as this event will be widely advertised (if interested in this exceptional offer, see James)

Sponsor the Balls
Room for only one sponsor – the first to approach
