Well winter looks like it has well and truly arrived. Darker nights, wet and windy. So we are feeling fortunate to have our Full Swing Indoor studio to help you carry on golfing!
Our lesson diaries have remained busy and the driving range is due to be lit shortly! Thus extending everyone's golfing day.
Winter is the ideal time to focus on improving your game. I have lots of packages to suit your requirements.
With indoor and outdoor facilities there has never been a better time to work on your game.
This weekend sees the last of our Summer Cuts on the course! The greens will now be maintained at 5mm. The shaping we have enjoyed with this mild weather should last for a few more weeks. I think we would all agree that the course at the moment is in very good order. Winter rules start in earnest and the Turkey trots are upon us. Hope you all have a great weeks golf.
Top tips for better ball striking
Take a look at the image below, it's this kind of backswing position that we see quite a lot of - and it's unlikely to lead to a clean strike. In fact, there are three common faults we see in this particular area.
Firstly, spine angle. The best ball strikers all set and maintain a good posture during the swing. During lessons we like to work on getting you to avoid lifting or dipping in the backswing or downswing. What you need to try and do is turn around a constant spine angle, which will deliver more consistent results.
Now, reference to this image, you'll notice how this golfer has swayed back. You do need to shift your weight during the swing, but this kind of movement will lead to fat and thin strikes. Keep your sternum over the ball at impact for better strikes.
Finally, one of the most common faults in the swing is when players come 'over the top'. With the club attacking the ball from outside the ball-to-target line you'll hit a slice or pull with your driver and strike it inconsistently with your irons.
Come and see the team if you're stuck with one of these faults, we'll be happy to help. Get in touch here.
