Golf Improvement Sessions January/February 2019

With less than 3 months to go before the first competition of the year now is the time to start thinking about getting your golf competition ready for the start of the season. With this in mind I will be offering a special one hour Player Evaluation Session.

Player Evaluation Session - £30

In 2019 I make it my aim to reach out further to golfers like you and properly identify where shots are been wasted on the golf course and provide the solutions to prevent the same mistakes repeating themselves. To do this I would like you to book in for a one hour player evaluation session as detailed below:

One Hour Player Evaluation Session (£30)

This session will utilise SkyTrak technology to identify your strengths on the golf course and highlight areas where shots can be saved, resulting in lower scores and a reduced handicap. You will be analysed hitting a series of shots, and be given a “handicap rating” for each of these shots, clearly showing areas of high and low performance relative to your own capabilities. Once these results have been analysed and discussed, a plan will be created in terms of future lessons, practice sessions and on course strategies to ensure your scores improve and you end 2019 with a lower handicap than you start it.

If you have any particular area of your game that would like to work on then get in touch by clicking here.

Tour news

Not all plain sailing

It was a 9th PGA Tour win for tour favourite Matt Kuchar, as he claimed victory at the Sony Open in Hawaii. Kuchar carded a final round of 66, finishing on -22, four shots clear of Andrew Putnam in second place. It wasn’t all plain sailing for Kuchar, with bogeys in three of his first five holes on Sunday, but a resurgent back-nine saw a comfortable win in the end.

It was Kuchar’s second win on tour this season, just 64 days after winning the Mayakoba Classic in November; a real change in fortunes, when you consider he had to wait four years between his seventh and eighth PGA Tour victories.

On the Ladies European Tour, England’s Charley Hull took a wire-to-wire triumph at the Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies Open in Abu Dhabi, for her second win on tour. It was a real test of nerve at the finish, with Hull splashing out of a bunker on the 18th, before saving par with a great putt to give her the win by one stroke.

The perfect layers

There’s no such thing as bad weather for golf – just a poor choice of clothing. You might have got away with the old ‘raincheck’ excuse a few years ago, but golf clothing has come a long way since then. All you need to do is make sure you’re properly layered up with golf-specific garments and you’re good to go.

Mid-Layer
Merino Lined sweater

Outer-layer
Pro-Flex EVO jacket

One such garment is the Pro-Flex EVO jacket from ProQuip; not only is it fantastically lightweight which makes it incredibly easy to play in, but its stunning design will have you looking trendy whilst wearing a top-quality waterproof - we all know that's not the easiest thing to achieve. Why not try combining it with the Merino Lined sweater underneath for the perfect layering combination?

Nothing but progress

When you’re working out how you want to take the first step to improving your golf game, you can often hit a roadblock straight away. After all, you might have heard every piece of advice from your golfing mates about how to cure that nasty slice, but you’re still carving it right off the tee. Well, we’ve got two foolproof ways of getting your golf ball in play and that handicap tumbling...

Golf Lessons

Doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results is foolish. So, if there’s a part of your game that always lets you down, come and have a lesson with a member of the team – we’ll be able to tailor the session to your exact needs and make sure you leave happy.

Custom Fitting

Lots of new products will be getting released over the coming weeks, so if you’re after something new, make sure you come for a custom fitting to get the most out of any new purchase. You'll really get the VIP treatment and will leave with a much better understanding about your game.

Have a good week.
