Pro's news

Unfortunately, the course and shop are currently closed,  with lessons also stopping until further notice

following the government’s announcement on Monday. We have not had much luck so far this year with the wettest winter in memory followed by the lockdown! Hopefully the situation improves soon so we can all get back on the golf course.

Course Update

The greens staff have agreed to send me course pictures so that I can keep you all updated on the work they are doing during the lockdown so I look forward sharing any improvements with you.

Lessons Update

A few of you have asked about purchasing a golf net for the garden so I know there are some of you still working on your swing! Feel free to send me swing videos for some free of charge advice and I will call you to discuss. Click here to contact me for more information.

What can I practice at home?

Every week I am going to focus on one area of the game that you can focus on when you are home. This week I wanted to focus on your consistency of strike. For any of you who have had lessons with me you will know how important I value being able to give yourself correct feedback on exactly what has caused the resultant ball flight. This week we will focus on the following areas.

1. Low Point – this is where the club reaches its lowest point in relation to the ball. We need this to be consistently after the ball
2. Heel or toe strike – being aware of where on the club face you are striking Is also crucial

The best way to check your ability to do these two things well is using the following training aid:

If you don’t want to fork out for this you can also stick a tee in the ground, setup just to the side of it and monitor where in relation to the tee you are brushing the ground. If you have any questions about this please click here to contact me.

Shop Update

Despite the shop being closed I am sure like me, many of you will be having a lot of time to search the internet looking at new equipment. If any of you would like to talk about any products or would like some advice please do not hesitate to give me a call on 07951548042 or contact me here.
