THE BEST dresssed swinger in town - that's Bolton's new professional golfer Shaun Kelly.

The 23 years old from Higher Barn, Horwich, has decided to join the pro ranks and will compete in the Howson Hippo UK mini-Tour which starts next month.

The Old Links star will be one of the snazziest dressers on the course thanks to a sponsorship deal with Aults Menswear, of Newport street, Bolton, who are kitting him out for the season.

The competition comprises more than 15 events around the country with £300,000 prize money up for grabs and negotiations for Sky to cover the Tour are well advanced.

A former double BGA champion and Lancashire player, Kelly just failed to earn his European Tour card last October and hopes that a season on the mini-Tour will be a stepping stone to him making the grade next time.
