Thanks Scott for a great day. The team are still talking about the one they missed and how overall they enjoyed the day.

The video was unexpected, it just finished off what was our best team event so far.

Thanks from all of us

Comment on Dave Pelz' Short Game Handicap by Dave Holloway

Dave Holloway — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 13:11:18 +0000

this is a great way to see where you are with your short game.im a professional golfer and i have used Daves system many times.the reason ams dont like practicing their short games is because they would much rather stand the range and hammer a driver.you see guys hitting dozens of balls with their big drivers,a club they then use about 14 times in 1 round.
by using daves short game handicap system,it makes you concentrate more,it makes practicing more fun [which is what its al about,its a game]and by the time you have gone through the test,its taken you a coupe of hours,wicfly by.Also if you then work out how many shots youve hit,its amazing although it doesnt feel like it.

I play a game where i hit 7 balls,i then walk to green and move away the 3 worst,then the 3 best,and the ball left is my average.i do this from the same distance 10 x then get the overall average.i hit shots from different distances,like 30 yds,50yds 70yds.

im only hitting 10 shots each time,i see the picking up of the balls as my break in between.i will complete my 3 distances and write them down,back at home i store it on my laptop.
I recommend this to any golfer,and the more sessions you can do,the quicker you will improve.look at your stats once a week,see which parts of your short game need more time spent on,and see your scores coming down.

just standing there knocking balls to a flag will get boring,but this system,as well as Dave Pelz,is the way to go about it.

I strongly advise you to take or 2 lessons with yur pro just working n the short game,it is important that your mechanics are good. Or read Phil Mickelsons book Secrets of the short game..its simple – how the game should feel.

If you require any help with your games please feel free to contact me

good luck and get those handicaps down

Comment on Becky Brewerton wins! by stebbo

I had the privledge of teaching beckys dad Steve many years ago whilst I was director of golf at the Kinmel Golf Complex in North Wales….the real story here is that whilst Steve was having his lesson we used to put young Becky in the next bay with a bucket of balls which she hit out in record time, I know she won’t mind me saying this but most of them only went a few yards but the important thing was that she did have many fresh air shots which meant she had an eye for the ball

Becky then had a few lessons from me as she commenced on what has been a roller coaster of a journey.

I’m sure that her win at Chart Hills will be the first of many, they are a wonderful family and deserve all the success they achieve

Comment on Swing Thoughts – Feb 2007 by Anne Koychev

Anne Koychev — Thu, 08 Feb 2007 13:23:35 +0000

Finding a vision of our swing to commit to paper was probably the most challenging element of todays session but with help from our new coach Mark most of us managed it! And with further help from the video session and feedback from Scott we were able to see if our ‘visions’ met ‘reality’! Maybe ‘before’ and ‘after’ pictures will help us further with our practice. Congratulations to Bronwyn, Lorely and Sian for obviously having more perception of what it’s all about than the rest of us!

Don’t forget our next coaching will be on 11th March and afterwards for more foursomes challenges at Wyke Green with thanks to the Lady Captain and squad member Christine Philipps for her organisation

Comment on Fitness for 2007 by Wendy Hutchinson

Wendy Hutchinson — Mon, 08 Jan 2007 13:42:01 +0000

Well done Scott and Richard for making this first County training session in 2007 so entertaining yet informative!
There is no doubt that these relatively simple excercises, designed for our individual needs, could improve our fitness and strengths and help eliminate or prevent any ‘Sway and Slide’ element of our golf swings.
