chipping from just off the green Minimum Airtime March 5, 2020 7:05 pm

A great phrase to remember to improve your score on the short game is: “Minimum Airtime”.  In other words, if you do not need to knock the ball up into the air, don’t. If possible, use the other phrase: a bad putt works better than a bad chip. It’s a bit negative I guess, but it’s also true. If you... View Article

Use of the driver Park the Driver February 20, 2020 3:16 pm

Understanding the risk According to the physics of the game, the driver, or number 1 wood, is the club that will hit the golf ball the furthest.

Stay in the moment, not in the scorecard October 10, 2019 12:59 pm

It’s a classic schoolboy error on the golf course, but we all do it. The question is why? When you are on the course, you know whether you are playing well or not. So do you really need to work out how many over par, or under par you are after every hole? How many stableford points you have scored... View Article
