Hello Golfers,

One week down and with any luck only a couple more to go, but something tells me we're going to be in this for a lot longer. I did hear a good quote on the radio the other day which made me think a little differently, the guy said - You’re not stuck at home, you’re safe at home. A pretty good way of looking at things if you ask me. 

Following on from last week’s newsletter, home schooling is still going okay although I get the impression Nicky is the boys' favourite teacher and you won't be surprised to know I still haven’t managed to get through a whole Joe Wicks P.E session with the boys yet.

Enjoy the read and stay safe everyone.

 
The best golfing movies

Whilst we’ve all got too much time on our hands, you can help me out with a long-standing debate/argument with a mate of mine regarding our top three golf movies of all time. For the record, my choice is:

  1. Caddyshack (obviously)
  2. Seve
  3. Tin Cup

Apparently, in his view, Tin Cup has no right to be anywhere near a top 50 let alone my top 3, which is a little harsh, although to be fair it’s only in my list because I fancied Rene Russo! But the argument has gone too far now to admit that! Let me know how your top three compares.

Boys puttout
Jack and Freddie having fun with PuttOUT

It was nice to read Craig’s course report last week, I'm really missing Tyrrells. If like me, you’re suffering from major golf withdrawal symptoms then I may have something to help ease the pain.

Summer Knockout Update

We've made the decision to keep the entry book open until the end of April in the hope that we may be able to play some competitive golf by then. I know it’s a long shot if you pardon the pun, but we want to do everything possible to enable us to play these competitions this year. If you’d like to enter any of the summer knock-outs then please email me.

The knock-on effect to this extension will be the round dates will be tighter than usual and so with that in mind please think about the number of competitions you may want to enter. When we do finally come out the other side of this and we've been unable to start these knock-outs all entries will be refunded. 

 
 
 
Weekly quiz

Something new for our readers

Us golfers are competitive at heart, so we thought we'd try to harness some of that spirit by introducing a new feature to our weekly emails.

We're going to kick things off next week with our very own Masters Quiz - it was supposed to be Masters week after all - so be sure to do some research before then!

For now, we have put up a short poll on our website that we'd love you to answer by clicking the button below. We'll let you know the results next week.

Weekly challenge

It’s times like these when thinking outside the box can result in all sorts of fun. So, we’ve rummaged through the garden shed and come up with a little game for you to try at home! If you don’t have any buckets or pots to hand, try creating different sized rings using string, tape or even ties – this would make it indoor friendly too.

Weekly challenge - Chipping Snooker

The set-up

Mark out your hitting zone like we’ve done using a mat in the image above. Then, from smallest to largest, lay your targets out so they get progressively bigger as they get further from the hitting zone. You then need to decide how many points each target is worth, with more points awarded to the smaller targets.

How to play

The great thing about this game is that you can play it by yourself or with the rest of the family. If you’re giving the challenge a go alone, you have five balls to get the highest score possible. You can play the same way with others or you can set an overall target score (e.g. 50 points) and the first person to reach that score wins!

Golf at home

This part of our newsletter is all about trying to keep your golf game ticking over whilst we’re being told to stay indoors. With putting being such a vital part of lowering scores out on the course (and the easiest to practice at home), we’re going to kick things off with a simple putting drill for you to try.

Golf at home - Putting drill

The set-up

Grab your putter, six golf balls and a tee peg. Place the tee upside on the ground – this will be your target. From here, measure out a putter’s length from the tee and place a ball down. Repeat this five times at equal distances apart so that you have a circle of golf balls surrounding the tee peg – just like in the image above.

Too easy? Make it harder

Your goal is to go around the circle and hit the tee peg with each putt. However, if you miss, you’ll need to go back and start again – a nice way to mimic some pressure from the golf course. If you complete the circle, keep going until you miss to set yourself a target to beat next time or try increasing the distance of each putt from the tee.

Video of the Week

What's Padraig Harrington laughing at here? Well, if you ever needed reassuring that even the world's best golfers are human, give this video a watch! Enjoy.
