Nick's tip of the week  

Does winter weather have you shut indoors? No matter the reason for it, the off-season doesn't mean your golf game should be placed on the back burner. It's prime time to prepare for next season and keep your game in tip-top shape! Here's how you can stay sharp this winter: 

1. Clean your equipment. 
While you've got some time off the course, give your balls and clubs a thorough cleaning to remove any dirt and debris they might have accumulated this year. Clean balls and clubs will help you improve accuracy and achieve a lower score, and you'll thank yourself in a few months when you pull your pristine balls and clubs out for the first round of the season. 

2. Re-grip your clubs. 
A new set of grips can totally change your game (we can do your entire set in less than an hour!). Chat with us in the pro shop to find the grips that are right for you . 

3. Practice your putting. 
Now that your golf balls are spotless and your putter has been re-gripped, you're ready for some putting practice. An indoor putting green is an excellent way to sharpen your skills year-round. There are dozens of options out there, too-you're sure to find one that suits your space, your needs, and your budget. 

4. Find an indoor practice facility. 
There is no better place to practice than the Dunston Hall Driving Range. Blustery weather shouldn't mean you can't get some practice swings in. Or you could head down to see brad at SUBURBAN GOLF and have a go on his state of the art golf simulator Quote Dunston Hall and receive 20% OFF your first visit offer January only!

Sam's tip of the week  

Stop slices and hooks by simply 'pushing" the club straight back.  

The first two stages of my swing are critical. If I start the club back on plane, I won't have to reroute it on the way down, so I can just rip it without fearing a mis-hit. Granted, my takeaway isn't perfect. I occasionally pull the club too far inside (then come over the top in the downswing), or "lift" it up and out (which gets me "trapped" coming down). But I can fix those flaws. 

The Key: "Push" the club straight back. Picture a wall running parallel to your toe line and straight up through your hands As you start your swing, keep your hands and the clubhead on the wall.
