Golfers profiles Jim Moseley Jim has a tendency to fade the ball and as a result the 11th hole is his least favourite hole on the course because he can end up in the trees on the right. He finds he has to aim a long way left to try and avoid this but with the wind coming off the left a lot on that hole it is problematic.
We talked about something he could try to help and I look forwards to seeing how he gets on.
Jim also felt he was losing distance with his irons and when we looked at things, we managed to gain 5 - 10 yards by moving from a stiff flex to a regular flex and helped with direction by altering the lie of club to 3 degrees upright.
Any of you who know Jim will know he tends to be a very steady 12 handicap golfer and hopefully we can help him to improve a little. |
James Blaney James is one of our newer members having joined about 18 months ago and establishing himself as an enthusiastic golfer who wants to improve.
Currently playing off 23, he is aiming to bring that down to 18 this summer by improving on his whole game. We helped with his short game and distance control and how that can be achieved and he took to the changes really well. His dream fourball was interesting, Rory Mcllroy, Dustin Johnson, Paul Innocent and himself!
James is a PING man with his driver, fairway woods, hybrids, irons and wedges all being G400.

Mickelson has his eye-in Phil Mickelson endured a frustrating wait to record his fifth AT&T Pebble Beach title this week. Following a delayed start to Sunday's final round due to overnight rainfall and a mid-round hailstorm, Mickelson rolled back the years. Lefty executed shot after shot to find himself three ahead with just two holes remaining, before getting forced off the course due to bad light. With just 'lefty' and 54-hole leader Paul Casey taking to the course on Monday, a Mickelson win was all but a formality with just the final two holes left to navigate. And so it proved. Arguably, the most impressive feat of the week came during Mickelson's opening round, when he managed to hit every single fairway for the first time in over two decades. We all know that splitting the fairway from the tee is a sure-fire way to take shots off your game, but we also know it is no easy task. Practice makes perfect but if you find yourself going wayward more often than not, or just want to tidy up your game, then come and have a chat with us to enhance your chances of staying out of the rough. Contact us about a lesson here.
