Hello golfers,

We are looking to make our content more relevant to you so keep an eye out over the coming weeks to find out how we’re going to go about achieving this – it’ll require some assistance from your end, but it’ll be worth it!

Back to the here and now, and in this week’s email we take a look at some of the most ridiculous moments from the PGA Tour in 2017, we talk through your golfing goals for 2018 and contemplate whether Tiger will make a triumphant return this year. Enjoy the read.

Trolley Ban

Unfortunately, due to the recent bad weather we have had to put a trolley ban in place. This is the last thing that we want to have to do, but in order to protect certain areas of the course then this is a necessity. At the current moment there is no time limit for the trolley ban, but as soon as Sean and his team are happy that the course has sufficiently recovered then we will lift the ban.

As I said, this is the last thing we want to do but if we don’t put this in place then the recovery of the course will take longer and we want the course in the best condition possible for the start of the season.

Hopefully we can have some better weather… Apologies for any inconvenience caused by this.

Coaches Corner - Little and often

This week we look at the 2nd instalment of ‘how to improve your winter golf’, courtesy of Jon Haines.

Hitting 50 balls 3 times per week, instead of 150 balls once a week. Why, you may ask?

Well the reason behind this is because improvement relies on repetition! So the more often you do it, the quicker it becomes comfortable and ingrained in your muscle memory. I’m sure you all know the saying “practice makes perfect”, well it was actually “practice makes permanent”!

So by practicing the wrong things, you will make things worse. Make sure you practice with a clear plan in your head and work on the right things!

Too many golfers make the mistake of not doing much, or anything for that matter, over the winter months and then wonder why they struggle when they come back to it in March. There is no excuse for this, you have a driving range on your doorstep so take advantage of it!

When practising during the winter, it is very important that you warm up, start with chipping, then pitching, working your way up to full wedge shots and then moving through the clubs from there. It is also a good idea once you’ve hit a few drivers, to work back down through your clubs.

Tiger – yes or no?

Much was made of Tiger Woods’ return to competitive golf at last year’s Hero World Challenge and we know that many of you enjoyed seeing the 14-time major winner prowling the fairways once again. But how do you think he’ll get on in this year?

• Will he win a tournament?
• Maybe he’ll add to his tally of Major victories?
• Or perhaps he won’t find the winners’ circle at all?
