Pro's tip of the week

Well we have had a really good summer and our attentions move towards Autumn/Winter now. So what do you do when the season ends?

Put your clubs away till the better weather?
Practice on the range?
Play right through regardless?

Well the answer should be, put a plan together to work on all the things that have let you down or annoyed you over the season and aim to improve or put them right by Spring.

That is where I come in. Let me asses your game and put a practice/play plan in place to help you achieve your goals.

A 40-minute assessment session is just £30 including golf balls.

Just 4 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.
