Coaching news

Now is the time to act

As the season sadly draws to a close with the summer holidays ending and the nights already drawing in, it would be easy to consider putting your clubs away and waiting till the daffodils next appear to see them again. However, if you want to improve on this year’s golf for next year, now is the time to start practicing for it.

Changes to your golf swing are hard to make and they can take time! Set yourself a goal and make a plan to achieve it over the winter months, we can help you with this. Don’t waste five to six months of practice time over the winter, use it to improve your game.

We will also have the advantage at end of September with our new state of the art swing studio, which means whatever the weather we can also work on your swing day or night which we are very excited about. Most of my lessons who are getting results are keeping things consistent with lessons, practice and giving me feedback of where the good stuff is and where the weak areas are, if you really want next season to be the best yet then get in contact and let’s get started.

Tour news

Just four weeks to go

The Ryder Cup is edging ever closer, with a lot of speculation over who will be chosen as one of the four wildcards on both sides of the Atlantic.

There is an expectation that USA Team Captain Jim Furyk will give one of those spots to a resurgent Tiger Woods, who can now be picked on form rather than reputation after experiencing a stellar comeback season. Others vying for a trip to Le Golf National in Paris are Zach Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, Matt Kuchar, Kevin Kisner and Tony Finau, providing Furyk with an embarrassment of riches to choose from.

Thomas Bjorn won’t know exactly who has qualified for his European team until September 2, but the big names – Francesco Molinari, Justin Rose, Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood and Jon Rahm – are dead certs. The bigger question lies in the wildcard picks. Ian Poulter has a fearsome Ryder Cup record, having never lost a singles match, and has played himself into good form this season. Paul Casey, Thomas Pieters, Russell Knox and Rafa Cabrera-Bello are all in contention too, not to mention Ryder Cup veterans Henrik Stenson and Sergio Garcia.

Setting your sights

How many times do you find yourself lining up your shot and thinking "this is about an 8-iron from here to the pin", only to find that you end up 10-15 yards short of the hole? Being able to utilise accurate yardages is a key step to taking your game to the next level, which is why we'd recommend using a GPS device to ensure you always know exactly how far you have left to the pin.

Information at a glance

If you are yet to make the step into GPS assistance, why not try out the Garmin Approach S20? The watch's high-sensitivity GPS receiver gives you the distance data you need to fire away with confidence and hone in on the pin. You'll have distance to the front, back and middle of the green, as well as hazards, doglegs and layups.

We're here to help

The season is coming to a close and that means it's more important than ever to work hard on the parts of your game that are letting you down. Maybe you aren't getting enough distance on your drives or perhaps your chipping simply isn't up to scratch - either way, we're here to help.

Lessons and coaching

If you find yourself making poor decisions time and time again, why not book yourself in for a playing lesson so that we can help you to think your way to a better score? Alternatively, come and speak to us about a long-term plan - we offer various lesson packages which we can tailor to suit your needs.

Have you been custom fitted?

Custom fitting is particularly helpful and it's not just for low handicappers either - the more you struggle with distance and accuracy, the more there is to gain from playing with clubs that are tailored to your swing. We stock several brands in-store, each with a model in their line-up to suit mid to high handicappers, so come and challenge us to improve your game - we're certain we can.

Spotlight: ProQuip Pro-Flex EVO Gilet

With summer coming to an end and wetter climes fast approaching, the clothing you wear on the golf course becomes even more important.

ProQuip believe it has the perfect solution to combining freedom of movement and staying dry in its Pro-Flex EVO windproof gilet. Quilted panels with Thinsulate lining provide exceptional warmth, whilst the knitted power stretch fabric means your swing won't be affected by the additional layer.
