Hello Golfers,

I hope you enjoy the read, Jo.

Pro's news

Lights, Camera, Action…

I was recently asked to record some product reviews for Foremost Golf and last Monday was the shoot day at West Hill Golf Club. We split the day with the morning being an on course photo shoot and the afternoon being the video shoot. The first video has now been edited, give it a watch here.

It’s that time of year again...

Unbelievably it’s already that time of year where we start talking about winter coaching programs and we begin reviewing our summer of golf. With that in mind how have you got on?

- Have you enjoyed your golf this summer?

- Have you improved?

- Has your handicap reduced?

Over the next couple of weeks I’ll be sharing my top tips for improving your golf and detailing how we can help you work on your golf over the winter.

First, I’d like to talk about evidence based coaching. I’m a big believer in coaching with evidence; from my point of view as a coach I need as much information as possible to help you make a meaningful change to your golf. The days of standing on a range with nothing more than a video camera are long behind us.

The GC Quad launch monitor in the swing studio is a fantastic facility and gives us so much more evidence when looking at your ball flight. It helps us to:

• Understand exactly what’s causing your ball flight/bad shot = no guess work!

• It’s measurable – we can accurately measure your club path/club face/strike location etc.. plus we can easily see if we are making an improvement.

• With more information we can build a really specific practice routine for you = you improve more quickly!

If you are interested in improving your golf please contact me.

Stevenson Cup report from Chris

Last Wednesday saw the Vice Captain and I take on our third challenge of the year. This time we were up against Pete Hannant & Colin Jenner.

We got off to a poor start after, Pete’s birdie on the 1st, quickly followed by Colin’s 4 nett 3 on the 2nd, so we found ourselves 2 down through 2. But Chris and I then won the next two holes to restore parity. After some good golf from both teams on the front nine seeing only 2 halved holes, the Vice Captain and I found ourselves 1 down at the turn.

We would lose the 11th to fall 2 down, before the Vice Captain’s outrageous chip in from the right hand side of the 12th saw us win the hole when it looked certain we would lose it. We thought that it would inspire a comeback, but unfortunately it wasn’t to be. Some excellent play from both Pete and Colin saw them close out the match on the 17th for a 3&1 victory.

I would like to thank both Pete and Colin for both their pleasant company and also for their generous donations to the Captain’s Charity. Well played gents!

No distractions

It's not always easy to get in the zone or feel completely comfortable over the ball so, when you do, the last thing you need is to look down and be distracted by your shoes. Style always comes down to individual taste, but here are two shoes at either end of the spectrum that catch our eye for different reasons.

FootJoy Fury

The eye-catching athletic style of the aptly named Fury offers a fast look when addressing the ball with a full grain leather and engineered mesh upper providing ultimate on-course performance.

FootJoy UltraFIT Boa

Classic style meets the perfect fit in these beautiful shoes from FJ. The no-nonsense design at address oozes confidence whilst the Boa Fit System ensures maximum comfort every time.

We have an extensive range of golf shoes available in-store with styles, colours and designs to match everyone's taste. So, be sure to pop in and try on a pair or two for size the next time you're in the market for new shoes.

Variety is the spice of life

Whatever happened to having a ‘textbook’ swing? If you were to watch golf on TV you’d see all sorts of different swings that have propelled these golfers to the top of the world, and the same can be said on the greens too.

There's definitely no single approach when it comes to how you grip your putter. You have a more traditional no-fuss approach that is favoured by the likes of Tiger Woods; a left-below-right grip which is a recent craze made famous by Jordan Spieth's putting heroics; and then the opposite extreme in anchoring that has recently been banned by the R&A.

PING's Sigma 2 putter range

That's gripping the club but what about the actual putter itself?

Take a look at PING's range for example. In this photo alone you can see the Sigma 2 line, which is made up of several larger headed putters that are so popular on Tour thanks to their stability through the ball, as well as the more conventional headed blade putters.

With so many head styles available - not to mention lengths - using our expertise is the safest way to ensure your next purchase is the right one for your game.

Spotlight | Callaway Epic Flash hybrid

Epic by name...

Hybrids are one of the most important clubs you can have in your golf bag. Whether you use them as a long-iron replacement or to bridge the gap between your longest iron and shortest wood, they are incredibly useful and easy to hit.

This brand new release from Callaway boasts Jailbreak Technology for faster ball speeds, exceptional forgiveness on off-centre hits as well as adjustablility options so that we can really dial it in to be perfect for your game.
