Competition results

Sunday Shotgun

It was great to see a full field for this event but unfortunately, this will be our last shotgun competition for a while. All future Sunday competitions will be start times until further notice.

Congratulations to the winners, and thank you to my team who showed me how to hole putts from 15 feet.

Juniors have this lack of fear which enables them to smash a putt straight into the back of the hole which is always refreshing to watch but I would have been nervous playing in a foursomes competition.

1st Place
59- 4 = 55
Will Alcock, Kevin Taylor - Lee, Shaun Minton, Tom Knight

2nd Place
62- 5.7 = 56.3
Mark & Max Combes, John & Oliver Richards

3rd Place
57-0.7 = 56.3
Nick Evans, Brad Dunning, Barry Ruddick, Tom Kerr

Congratulations to Barry Ruddick who had a hole in one on the 8th hole. (this is Barry’s 7th hole in one!) a

Golf Club Policies

These are difficult times with much confusion on how the country handles the current events.

Allan McVittie, our chairman, has been holding regular meetings on how Shrewsbury golf should be handling the virus pandemic and I hope you agree with me that Allan has done a great job on updating the Shrewsbury golf club website with our current policies on a ever-changing situation. For full details please visit the golf clubs website.

In short
The clubhouse is currently closed except access to the men’s and ladies changing rooms.

The golf course remains open (new local rule all bunkers to be treated as GUR)

Competition March Medal on Saturday is still due to go ahead.

Competition guidelines will be continually updated and reviewed. Please keep checking club website and I will try and keep you updated through my newsletter.

The pro shop is currently planning to stay open and one to one individual coaching will continue. To protect staff please avoid the shop if you are feeling unwell, please pay by contactless if you can to avoid handling cash. The pro shop team is becoming experts in using antibacterial wipes.

These are difficult times and I hope you all remain safe and healthy and we can all get through this terrible situation very quickly.

Golf is seen as a low-risk activity, if you are feeling well please enjoy playing. Walking outside has plenty of health benefits but please adhere to the social distancing and all other medical advice.

Please see extract below quoting Sir Patrick Vallance (UK’s chief scientific advisor) referencing playing golf.

"The UK’s chief scientific adviser has responded to a health select committee question about playing golf during the coronavirus crisis by effectively saying it is an activity that is allowable.

Sir Patrick Vallance said: “It is OK – if you keep a distance.”

The question was put forward by Dean Russell MP. He asked: “Exercise is going to be key [especially for older people]. If someone wants to play golf, can they still do that if they’re not close together?”

Sir Patrick Vallance stated: “We’re not asking everyone to be completely isolated. The specific advice is to avoid close contact. A walk is OK if you keep a distance.”

Wouldn't it be nice?

If you’re considering a new driver, it’s usually because you’re either missing too many fairways or your current one isn’t going as far as you’d like. You’re certainly not alone if you fit into this bracket, so why not join many other golfers by coming down to Shrewsbury Golf Club and booking in for a driver fitting with one of the team?

The perfect scenario

This illustration is ideal for the majority of us: a new driver that goes further and with a tighter dispersion than our current one.

However, with so many options available, it’s often a tricky puzzle of which shaft, loft and head combination performs best in YOUR hands that needs solving.

Luckily, this is an area that we are professionally trained in! We have plenty of options in-store for you to try, including the awesome Mizuno ST200 driver that should be at the top of your list.

Call us on 01743 874581 to book in with the team.

The days are getting longer (hurray) which means that the golf season is almost upon us. So, to celebrate, we have a special offer for you that will surely light up your day and have you hitting the course in absolute luxury – but you’ll have to be quick!

This compact-folding electric trolley (2018) is ideal for those of you looking for something small but with plenty of helpful features, particularly its high-resolution LCD colour screen.

And now you can pick one up from us - with a free accessory pack - whilst making a £200 saving! But don’t delay because once our stock runs out, that’s it! Call us on 01743 874581 to take advantage.
