For many, The Masters signals the start of the golf season and we don't have long to wait. One of the things that intrigues me most about the whole week is some of the shots the professionals are faced with, and nine times out of ten they seem to pull them off.
Whether it's uphill or downhill lies, intimidating putts across treacherous greens or approach shots littered with card-wrecking danger, we are treated to a vast array of shots during Masters week. My instruction pages might not advise you how to play a low slinging draw off pine needles, but you will find some great tips and advice for all aspects of your game.
Have a browse, and for during those times when you can't get out onto the course to play, or hone your game on the range, take on board a few useful pointers. You might not find yourself teeing it up at Augusta next year, but I guarantee you'll find it useful for shaving a few shots off round here. So click here to take a look at the videos and tips I have for you.

Congratulations to the President's team for defeating the Captain's team at Opening Sides last Saturday by 8.5 points to 7.5. A great day was had by all, I am sure the Captain will be looking to reverse the result at closing sides!
The course has really dried up over the last couple of weeks, leading to the decision to come off fairway mats. If you haven't had the chance to get out and play in the last few weeks, I would urge you to do so as the course is in great condition! Click here to book your tee time online now.
