Hello golfers,
Happy New Year to you all! I hope you had a great Christmas and enjoyed the New Year celebrations. I'm pleased to say that Santa found his way to the Humphrey house and Freddie and Jack had a great time, just watching their reactions was priceless. After eating and drinking far too much over the Christmas period I'm joining many of you in a dry January, so please don't tempt me as I don't have the strongest will power!
It was very interesting to hear the news that Rory McIlroy will be using Callaway woods and irons this season, it's a great boost for Callaway especially considering Rory could use anything he likes. The driver he's chosen has caused quite a stir, it's reported to be an amazing bit of kit, I hit one in December and have to say I was so impressed with it I ordered one there and then! The club is available from February so please keep a look out for it in the shop, as always demo clubs will be available for you to try out at Tyrrells.

What are you doing this winter to improve your golf?
This time of year is often a time when many of us set resolutions for the coming year, very often these are to lose weight or join a gym, but how many of you set golfing resolutions?
If your golf has hit a wall, setting a New Year's resolution to make a meaningful change is as good a time as any. Traditionally resolutions rarely succeed but if approached correctly you can stick to them.
Resolutions typically fail because:
How do I make a change?
- Focus on positive goals rather than negative ones e.g. "I want to hit more fairways" rather than "I want to stop slicing"
- A positive goal is something you want to perform; a negative goal is something you want to stop doing.
- Your learned habits are memories of actions you perform in a particular situation. You can't learn to not do something!
- So if you focus only on stopping behaviours, you will never develop new habits.
Setting your resolution:
Set yourself a positive goal - this could be to hit more fairways, sink more 5 foot putts or to add 10 yards to your drive.
Get help - once you've decided what you want to achieve, get help with what you actually need to do to start achieving your goal. Understanding what you need to do to improve, and setting appropriate and realistic goals, will help you progress faster.
Fit it into your calendar - physically writing stuff into your calendar makes it part of your routine. So if your plan is to perform your practice routine for 5 minutes everyday, writing it in your diary will make you more likely to stick to it
Be kind to yourself - real behaviour change is hard! There will be days when you succeed and others when you will fail. On the bad days treat that as an opportunity to learn rather than a reason to give up

3 x 45 minute individual coaching sessions - to be used one per month through February/March/April. Following the assessment we highlight one or two areas to focus on with the coaching sessions. This package is available for just £155
All sessions are tailored to you and the areas that will help you improve your game. Sessions must be used within the month and are not transferrable. To book or for more information, please contact Jo - assistant.professional@tyrrellswoodgolfclub.com
