Euphoria for Europe!!!
The annual battle for the Wyder Cup was fought this past weekend at the Azerbaijan National Golf Club – Quba between the teams of Scotland against the Rest of the World.  With the Saturday morning Betterball being closely fought, Scotland nudged slightly in front allowing players to assemble for some refreshments before heading back out for the foursomes in the afternoon. Some excellent play and close matches in the middle section of the draw allowed both sides to seek equal advantage. A break thorough came later on for the Rest of the World as Captain Steve Parkes and Nick Hore along with Luka Ivkovic and Sean Harrison won their matches to level the scores for Day One. With team Scotland losing the power house of Ali Still to injury the final day singles were as ever tense.  The Rest of the World made fast impact of the leader board as Nick Hore clenched at sterling win of 9&7 to strengthen the charge. With an All Square result by Khalil Husyenov against Darren Thompson and a win by Ray Jacques over Stuart Mclean the pressure was off giving The Rest of World’s remaining players the chance to bring through a well-deserved victory.

Dreamland Golf Club Members’ 2018 Match-play Championship Sponsored by Valedictorian Putters
Well done to all in the Match-play, we are delighted to announce the finalists as Tural Velizade and Susan Drummond who will compete for the 2018 title. Good luck to both players.
New Arrivals!!!
We are delighted to offer the AVX ball from Titleist which offers PRO V1 and PRO V1x players another option. Phil Jones General Manager comments: "We have been testing the ball for the past few weeks ahead of its arrival. As a PRO V1x player I have been curious of the move by many players to a softer ball – such as the Volvik. Playing the AVX has worked well, it feels solid from the club, responsive on the greens and a cover which seems to be more durable than the PRO V1x. Well worth a try in my opinion and also one of the very few high end balls in the Titleist range available in yellow".
ACADEMY NEWS
Which Wedge?
When looking at recent major winners I noticed an interesting fact the majority have in common – 4 out of the last 6, Koepka, Reed, Thomas and Speith all use Titleist Vokey wedges. What’s even more interesting is that both Koepka and Reed are equipment free agents – and so play whichever clubs they want.
After the putter, the wedges are arguably the most important clubs in the bag. Whatever your standard of golf it’s vital you have the correct wedge make up in terms of consistent loft increments and bounce. By being custom fit for your wedges so you’ll improve both distance control when pitching and the quality of strike from greenside bunkers. 
To book a fitting for Titleist Vokey Wedges please contact Alex Day at the Academy or email reservations@dreamlandgolfclub.com If you choose to then order/purchase customized wedges the cost of the fitting becomes free of charge.  
Foot Golf
To coincide with the football season getting underway this month we are offering a 2 for 1 promotion on all Monday evening rounds of Foot Golf. 
The game is played similarly to golf, with the exception that a football is used instead of a golf ball. Also the ball is kicked rather than hit with a club, and aimed towards an oversized hole in place of the usual golf hole. Our specially built 9 hole course at the Academy includes bunkers, trees, hills and water which should all be evaded to reach the hole.
It’s great fun for all the family!! Get your shooting boots on and come and have a crack at breaking the Dreamland course record. We’re open every Monday from 17:00-20:00
