Hospital Trophy
Many congratulations to Nigel Featherstone for winning the Hospital Trophy with nett 62+67=129 off 13, weathering the worst of the torrential showers in the afternoon. Nigel's handicap is now down to 11. Well deserved for one of the hardest practisers in the club! Take a look below for how he has changed his swing.
Gary Johnstone came 2nd, with 67+66=133 off 6, although Gary is now back down to 5. Andy Boyle & Dave Snell took the day prized with 63 & 62, respectively.
How has Nigel changed his swing?
Nigel has been working hard on his swing over the winter to get ready for this season and the hard work is paying off! Nigel has always suffered from excessive left to right on his shots leading to a loss of distance and inconsistency in the strike.
In order to improve this we have been working on the plane of Nigel's swing. As you can see in the 'before' picture, he used to swing the club down on a more vertical angle, which caused the club to swing out-to-in at impact. This then resulted in a slice.
As you can see in the 'after' picture, Nigel is now swinging down on a less vertical angle, allowing him to get his club swinging more in-to-out leading to a straighter ball flight and some draws.
If you would like to change your swing, please click here to book a lesson. We offer all new customers an introductory lesson for £9.99!
