In tougher windy conditions, itâs great to have the stinger up your sleeve to find the fairway (and itâll also impress your playing partners!). Contact us to book a lesson.
What recreational golfer wants to carry yardage books and calculate every shot distance exactly? There is one simple approach that you should carry in your head though.
If youâre shooting 88 or even 90, then we can quickly get you below 85. If youâre already at 85, then 78 is within reach. All thatâs required is ambition (and these 4 steps).
Feeling the ball shoot off the clubface of an iron is a great feeling. It all depends on your impact picture. Take your picture at impact and send it to us.
With the right strength and conditioning plan, you can really go the distance. Control your shots, reduce injury and enjoy your game. A real no-brainer.
The squat is one of the many exercises that will improve your control and power to get the distance you need. Book a session with us to strengthen your legs.
A strong core is crucial for you to achieve the ultimate synergy of movement when you swing. By adding consistent strength training for only 8 weeks, you can add up to 24% to your clubhead speed.
Co-ordination of different muscle groups allows you to pivot properly and transfer energy on your downswing. If your muscles arenât working together properly, your pivot will be incorrect leaving you at risk to injury.
With the right stretches and exercises, your hip flexors can help you get the most out of your game. Make sure youâre conditioned for your best golf yet.
Your core and posture impact your hip rotation and therefore your swing accuracy. Start with an assessment to identify your strengths and weaknesses and get started on a journey to better golf.
Your ability to keep your club on plane is hugely dependent on your hip rotation ability. Start with a setup to maximize your hip rotation and get the most out of your game.
With the right exercises you will lower your scores on the golf course and reduce your risk of injury at the same time. Weâll help you improve your game and your life.
Keeping your rotator cuff and surrounding muscles stable will help you reach more greens and play better golf. Weâre here to help you get the most out of your game.
Itâs simple. The more fairways you find, the better your playing experience. But do you know the average number of fairways youâre finding each round?
Many golfers fall into traps set by course designers when they go flag-hunting. But thereâs a way to stay safe while still creating scoring opportunities.
Now is the time to make an impact on your scorecard. If we could add distance to your tee shots and put you in the fairway a few more times, how low could you go?
Through this tough time with its restrictions and social distancing, we still have the love of the game to unite us. And when things return to normal, weâll enjoy playing it again with friends and family. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please
Computer Game addiction used to a faraway place sort of problem. Ask any parent whoâs child has discovered the Fortnite game, how close to home the problem is now.
This is the greatest game on the planet. Every shot that feels right is a beautiful experience. Letâs create more of them and the game gets even better.
On Tour they get into a great position to sink putts time after time. But their putter length is set to make that a comfortable setup. Off-the-shelf putters are not.
The harder you swing, the more spin youâll impart on the golf ball. With some clubs, especially in some conditions, thatâs the last thing you want.
Which area of your golf game, if improved, would create the biggest increase in enjoyment out on the golf course (including a lower score), causing you to want to get out and play more golf?
Weâre teaching children FUNdamentals. Yes, theyâre learning how to hit the ball, play the game, even compete. Yes, theyâre making lots of friends. But above all, itâs got to offer the real FUNdamental of any pastime.
When weâre working with children and juniors, weâre not trying to find the one exceptional golfer. Weâre trying to make sure every child and young person has a very positive, enabling experience.
Which area of your golf game, if improved, would create the biggest increase in enjoyment out on the golf course (including a lower score), causing you to want to get out and play more golf?
Some golfers will describe other courses as a âPitch and Puttâ. Iâm not sure how they mean it, but weâd like to suggest that âPitch and Puttâ is actually a great game.
Weâd like your thoughts on your short-game. Just five simple questions. Nothing complicated, technical, or personal. But it will help us with some research. Start now.
What if I told you that in many cases, fat or thin contact, or a swing-path-club-face-relationship creating a fade or slice, can be traced to poor posture with incorrect bend and tilt at address?
With all the new and exciting releases of golf equipment, itâs likely that many of you will be looking at buying a new Driver, searching for better performance that will undoubtedly include extra distance.
Many golfers struggle to make good and consistent contact because theyâre restricted or use their arms without rotating the upper body. Improve your range of motion. Improve your golf.
This year we want you ready to play better golf. And the most important thing you can do to improve your golf swing is to improve your range of motion.
Thereâs a set of muscles that, if exercised correctly, will not only improve your golf swing, theyâll help to keep aches and pains away during your regular day.
A lot of people who played the game of golf through their teens and early twenties, stopped playing as their careerâs and family commitments placed pressure on their time.
Some of the ladies on the LPGA Tour hit the ball consistently past 270 yards, despite being shorter and lighter than many of those we see on the 1st tee struggling to get much further than 220 yards.
On the LPGA Tour the ladies, despite a more diminutive size, are hitting it from the tee past the 270 yard mark on occasion. What are they doing that we can learn from?
Have you checked the average driving distances the ladies on the LPGA Tour hit their tee shots? How do these Ladies, some as short as 5 foot 3 and as light as 120 pounds, average 270 yards?
You all play golf for individual reasons. We probably all enjoy hitting a record score, but for many (research tells us most), what weâre really after is enjoyment out in the big green space.
Your golfing dream doesnât always have to be related to performance. It might be to be able to play with a daughter or son, or grand-father or grand-mother. Possibly youâd like to join in with a group or maintain your âpositionâ with your current group.
I am going to start a series of articles on key benchmarks in your golf game that you should assess, but I want to start with a really important shoutout.
The world changes. Attitudes and expectations change. Retirement is a stage of life thatâs changed. No longer does he go off to garden or the golf course to escape. No longer does she deal with all the household and family responsibilities alone.
There are so many ways to play golf. You donât have to sit back and wait for the format to be dictated. Why not play a 4-man scramble amongst friends. Itâs a really social experience and most shots are played from good lies.
Iâm not sure if thereâs a more fulfilling activity than golf when people enter retirement. It continues to provide a challenge that offers a sense of reward and accomplishment.
There is a sense that the world is going too fast. Responsibilities and expectations have increased. Thereâs too much to be done, in too little time.
There are so many reasons that golf is a great activity for children. Theyâre outside, in a social activity, developing coordination, balance and ball striking skills, and having a lot of fun.
Breaking 90 â Donât live with this problem. Amongst golfers shooting above 90 and especially 95 the most common fault we see is a combination of the wrong swing path AND the club face open to the path at impact.
Most golfers struggle with a left-to-right shot shape (left handers are vice versa). If thatâs you itâs robbing you of distance; time in the fairway and on the greens; and fulfillment.
If youâre shooting above 90 or 95, then come and chat to us. Have an assessment and letâs see how we can get you shooting in the 80âs more often, if not always.
We probably accept that Tour caddies are better at reading Putts than most of us. Thereâs an opinion that theyâre masters of some âdark artâ of green reading.
When you crouch down behind the ball or stand up and walk around the Putt, what are you really looking at? Do you have a process to read the green? Does your local knowledge suffice?
On TV it often looks like the Pros are making everything. Youâd probably expect those statistics to be âbetterâ. So, of the Putts they missed from 20 feet, what do you think the percentage breakdown of misses are?
In the last weeks Iâve been talking to those golfers who arenât breaking 95 every time. Often we find that their golf has become too complicated. Theyâve reached a level, but they donât want to push on because they fear it might become even more complicated.
Ball speed is the biggest factor in how much carry you achieve and is created by clubhead speed and quality of impact. Technique and physical conditioning both have a role to play in how much ball speed you can generate.
Your distance potential is determined to large extent by your clubhead speed and we want to make sure youâre not losing out. We can do this using a combination of appropriate technique adjustments and golf-specific fitness exercises.
I get lots of golfers coming to me with concerns about losing distance in their game despite no obvious swing mechanic and/or equipment changes. When it comes to this common problem, I like to take an holistic approach.
Your muscles will struggle to contract with enough force to stabilize and power-up your swing if theyâre tight, rigid and unengaged. Thatâs why maintaining normal length in the muscles of your upper leg is important.
This is a popular and effective way of preparing the body for efficient movement and getting into the habit of doing it regularly can improve your range of motion and help you generate more power and distance.
Weâd like to see how much distance we can add to your game by helping you improve your flexibility using a set of exercises over a one-month period and assessing your swing before and after.
The rotational capacity of your hips, back and shoulders affects how much torque you can produce during your golf swing, which in turn affects your power and distance.
There is a lot of confusing information written about the bunker shot, yet with the correct technique, this is an easy shot to play well. If youâre at all unsure of how to play this shot (beyond the words) or youâre struggling from greenside bunkers.
One of the tips when practicing bunker play is to draw a line in the sand about a cm behind the ball and to practice entering the sand there. For many, that tip creates a vision of the leading edge entering the sand at that point. If thatâs the consequence then it will lead to digging and poor bunker play.
Bunker play is a great example of the danger of written instruction. Golfers have read a few guide points: Open the face, dig in the sand, aim behind the ball etc.; and then tried to apply those. Looking around your friendsâ and playing partnersâ bunker play, how many would you think are good bunker players?
This is one of the best examples of written instruction causing confusion. Itâs interpreted by most as meaning take your grip and then rotate the gripped club to open the face.
In the Drive, Chip & Putt Championship for Junior golfers, the participants will hit 3 chip shots to test their skill with the Wedge. This is actually a great competition to play amongst friends on a quick trip down to the club.
There are so many ways to have fun hitting a golf ball. You can create your own variation on the Drive, Chip & Putting Championship scoring format to improve those skills that will deliver more fun on every hole.
Many of the better players get away with the wrong plane on their downswing most of the time because theyâre able to make adjustments with their hands.
If youâre shooting in the lower 90âs with some good scores lower in the 80âs, but youâre inclined to lose the ball right (left for left handers) because of your first move on the downswing, then thereâs a good chance you can become a very good golfer.
It might be easier than you think to improve your consistency. Without the proper posture, creating the correct plane for YOUR body will prove challenging
If someone you know quit the game because it was too much of a struggle, let us help you recover that golfer by showing them the quickest journey to better golf.
Some golfers gave up the game because they couldnât reach a standard that allowed them to enjoy the game. They see the route back to the game as being hours on the lesson tee and hours thereafter practicing. There is another way to make learning fun.
Many golfers have never had any short game coaching. Even fewer have had a Putting lesson. And it shows in the performances from 40 yards in. Itâs almost as if we expect to get to a level of skill where our approach shots find the green every time. Well, we donât.
You need to approach every hole aware of the risks, and the ability to know enough about your own game to appreciate where thereâs a potential reward and where there isnât.
Youâll find that the game you have, to shoot under 85 consistently, will bring you so much joy. Itâs not about your handicap, itâs about having the quality to get around a golf course with some control. If youâre shooting in the low 90âs, now is the time to make a leap
If you can use the next 3 months to improve your range of motion, then when you get to next make that golf swing, an improved range of motion will help you make a better swing.
The hip flexor muscles must be flexible and strong if you want a stable, powerful golf swing. When theyâre weak, compensation occurs, causing a number of swing limitations and injury.
I would guess that less than half of you have a standard warm up routine on the Putting green before they make their way to the 1st green. You really ought to. There should be a few key putting aspects you should be nailing down before you hit the course. Here's Jim Furyk's suggestion.
The manufacturers' advertising promises extra yards. That's great but for many of you, finding the Fairway more often would have a bigger impact not just on your scorecard, but your enjoyment. Here's a tip from Jim Furyk that might help.
Golf doesnât have to be 18 holes and 4+ hours. Find a few friends, come down after work, and set up a competition around a practice area that might take only 30 â 45 minutes. Youâll have great fun in an environment where each shot counts.
Then here are four skills challenges to test yourself. These challenges will examine your short pitch, greenside bunker, long chip and lob shot skills. Keep score and test yourself regularly. Make sure you're improving and you'll shoot lower scores.
You should always be prepared to measure your performance levels at different shot making skills. Practice ought to be helping you to improve your skills so that you're having more fun on the course. Here's a complete selection of 'skills challenges' to select from.
We all think we're beyond the fundamentals, but you should re-visit them often. Here's a fundamental many golfers miss and it makes a big difference to club head speed.
