Hello golfers, 



Michael Gallagher

As I am sure you are all aware my assistant Michael Gallagher is leaving to take up the position of Head Professional at Clandeboye Golf Club in Bangor. Michaels last official day at Killymoon Golf Club will be next Wednesday 27th April. I am sure you will all join me in wishing Michael every success in his future ventures. I would personally like to thank Michael for the last 12 years as my assistant and reassure him I will still be on hand if he requires any advice in his early business life.

Best Wishes Slick!




Cobra Fitting Day

I have a Cobra fitting day next Tuesday 26th April from 2-6pm. Appointments cost £20 which is deducted from any purchases as a result of the fitting.

Only 8 spaces available so book your place quickly or be disappointed. 




Fred Daly Team

Our Fred Daly team played host to Strabane GC on Saturday past and had an impressive 3-2 win over their opponents to take a lead to Strabane on the Sunday. Although Strabane were eventual winners 6-4 with Killymoon juniors securing two halved matches away from home, considering none of the Killymoon team had played Strabane before (due mainly to recent weather conditions), I think they did exceptionally well and should be very proud of themselves and take great confidence from their performance for the year ahead. 




Eoin Mallon

A Special mention for Eoin Mallon who recently had his first Hole-in-one will playing socially and although initially disappointed he was not in an official competition at the time, this disappointment was soon forgotten when he scored another Hole-in one in the Sunday sweep on the 10th April to claim half the two's money. Well done Eoin! 


 

As the dust settles on an epic Masters, one topic rumbles on, a debate that was sparked back into life when a good few players took what many regard as too much time over each and every shot at Augusta. Yes, the slow play debate. 

There's the camp that says professional golfers are playing for the game's biggest prizes, therefore taking more time than your average club golfer is to be expected. 

Those who take issue with this stance argue that there's simply no need to take so long between shots, and that it sets a bad example to spectators across the world. Some people even go as far as to say club golfers are influenced by the behaviour of what they see on television and this contributes to longer rounds on a social level across the country. 

We're not going to sit on the fence on this one. No one should feel rushed when they play, but there is a balance. There are some very simple procedures that, if followed, helped keep the pace of play right and manageable. 

Where do you stand on the matter? We've not heard the end of this one, that's for sure…
