Goals for the Season

Now the seasons is almost here its time to start thinking about your goals for the year ahead. I have come up with a few examples.

What handicap you want to be off? Or even having the ability to beat your friends on a weekly basis.

Once you have a goal in mind then you need to work out how you are going to achieve this.

That's where we come in, why not come in and take advantage of the Golf Team? We could help you achieve those goals no matter how big or small they are..

Is your short game is the weakest part of your game?

Come in tell us what usually happens when you're chipping or if you have a specific shot your struggling with. We can have a look at your technique and thought process and set up a plan to help you improve.

The aim for me is to make your weakest part of your game into the strongest part and that will defiantly help your scores and hopefully help you achieve those all-important seasonal or long term goals.

Sam's top tip of the week

How to avoid hooking the ball

The ball starts to the right of the target line and then curves to the left to finish to the left of the target.

Check the following list for possible faults:

- Aim: Your clubface may be too closed.

- Grip: One or both of your hands may be twisted too far to the right. Check the V formed by your thumb and forefinger - it should be pointing inside your right shoulder, not outside.

- Ball position: The ball may be too far back in the stance.

- Stance: Not usually a problem but may be too wide.

- Body alignment: Shoulders aimed far too far to the right.

- Posture: Not normally a factor. 

- Swing: You cannot hook the ball unless your clubface is going crazy through the strike. Generally the swing is too long so, the body gets to the ball before the club head and the hands turn over at the last minute.

- Golf coach tip: Keep the swing nice and short.
