Putting drill with a tee peg Putt to a small target January 23, 2023 9:34 am

As we move through another winter, it’s a good time to consolidate with some putting practice. Here are a few of my favourite exercises to improve the most important aspect of your putting: distance control. The main intention is to practice putting to a smaller target so that when you are aiming at the 4 and a quarter inch golf... View Article

Though winter is now upon us, hopefully you can still pop up to the range to keep your golf swing going through these dark months. The best golf book I have ever read When you’re not at the range and if you are partial to a good golfing read, then let me give you a recommendation: the best little golf... View Article
Pat Gilham More flexibility means more rotation October 1, 2022 12:55 pm

Did you know that the pelvis and torso rotate to approximately 49˚- 98˚ in the backswing? If this isn’t achieved, it can lead to a shorter backswing. Compensations include lifting the arms more, standing out of posture, more wrist cocking, or bending the lead elbow. This can reduce the quality of contact on your ball, as well as reducing your...

comfortable club Play the comfortable club September 1, 2022 1:56 pm

Unless you are like us PGA professional golfer idiots, you have a handicap that allows you not to have to make par on every hole. This means you do not always have to hit the ball onto the green in regulation i.e., in 2 shots on a par 4, three on a par 5. So, if you are left with... View Article
follow through Bunker follow through August 3, 2022 9:10 am

No one enjoys bunker shots.  We have all seen and done the classic bunker shot error where we accelerate the club into the sand full of hope and expectation, only to come to a grinding halt immediately after impact with the sand. This is largely for fear of catching the middle of the ball with the leading edge of the... View Article

Positive thinking on the golf course Negative self talk July 2, 2022 8:26 am

Is there a tricky hole on your regular course where you tend to say this to yourself: “Every time I play this hole I make a right mess of it”? One thing I have learned in this game is that if you expect failure, you very rarely disappoint yourself. Let’s shift those negative thoughts. Negative thoughts are self-fulfilling If you...

Putting tips Putting Tips June 1, 2022 4:28 pm

I have never been a fan of putting lessons. Most 4-year-olds I see on our Jurassic Encounter adventure golf course can putt very well. We don’t want to over analyse this area of the game. However, getting the ball to go into the hole is not easy. Here are a few practice tips that may help. Note, these are just... View Article
Getting out the rough Getting out the rough May 1, 2022 2:23 pm

I always like showing customers this technique at this time of the year as, by now, the rough is growing like wildfire. The greenkeepers are doing their best to keep it down, but there will always be those patches of the golf course that you were not supposed to be in. Possibly the ones that have not had the attention... View Article
Avoid the bunker Miss on the right side April 10, 2022 8:36 am

Hitting greens in regulation is an aspiration held by all of us who play the game.  But let’s be honest; no matter what our handicap is, the experience of ‘missing’ the green will be a frequent one. The longer the club we are playing, the more frequent a miss, is likely to be. So, with a wedge, for example, your... View Article
