October 24, 2022 8:26 am Published by Nick Wake Comments Off on Pebble Beach hole 7 nearest the pin competition

Widely regarded as the no. 1 golf course in America, Pebble Beach hosted its sixth U.S. Open in 2019, more than any other course over the last 50 years. The par 3 7th is just 106 yards, but nestles treacherously close to the cliff edge and the Pacific ocean beyond. In our latest Toptracer competition, throughout the month of November,...

More flexibility means more rotation

October 1, 2022 12:55 pm Published by Nick Wake Comments Off on More flexibility means more rotation

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...

Play the comfortable club

September 1, 2022 1:56 pm Published by Nick Wake Comments Off on Play the comfortable club

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

Bunker follow through

August 3, 2022 9:10 am Published by Nick Wake Comments Off on Bunker follow through

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

Negative self talk

July 2, 2022 8:26 am Published by Nick Wake Comments Off on Negative self talk

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...

This greed sticks in my craw

June 22, 2022 7:13 am Published by Nick Wake Comments Off on This greed sticks in my craw

I have recently been diagnosed with high blood pressure and I am sure the LIV golf series hasn’t helped at all. I am sorry, but this is pure greed. Players who have earned, at a conservative estimate, over $100 million from the game say that they have chosen to go with the LIV Golf series to “secure their families future”.... View Article
