| Greetings from Suzanne | Friday, 13th January 2017 |

It’s a crazy time of the year with manufacturers and vendors all competing with hype, persuasion and hope, to get you to pick up their new equipment, try out their new golf ball and fit yourself into a new golf shoe. All of those purchases require a solution. A solution is something that offers you a definite improvement that works for you and not the person in an advert. Our job as Professionals is to have the knowledge and expertise NOT to steer you to a product, but rather to make sure that you can match your requirements, athletic ability and preferences to the benefits offered by new technology and new releases.Providing a personal solution requires a personal interaction; so come and chat to us. We are always here to talk about golf. It is what we do. Our job is to add the value of improvement to your golf and that is best done by allowing us the time to provide the most personal and best solution. Challenge us to improve your golf. Challenge us to make the game more enjoyable for you.

SO WHERE DO YOU STRIKE THE GOLF BALL |
 |
|
You should be very aware of where on the face of your Irons you are striking the golf ball. Knowing that helps you determine what technology would help you hit the ball more consistently. Knowing it will also provide you with a good reality check of where you need to improve.
 |
| Working on a good, basic swing that will consistently allow you to strike the ball somewhere close to the sweet spot of the golf club will translate into a number of real benefits:
• You will hit the green with more approach shots – and that means shots off your handicap; • You will attack more pins and that will mean more fun moments where you are Putting for birdies with real makeable opportunity – and you know how great that feeling is when a birdie putt drops; • The game gets easier from the tee. There is less pressure to bang the ball down so far that you need only an #8, #9 Iron or Pitching Wedge; • You will look like a better golfer, feel like a better golfer and want to play golf more often; • You won’t be so pressured when you can’t play golf regularly – you’ll find it easier to play occasionally. I would spend some time working on your swing. If you are unsure of the fundamentals, and especially if you want to square the face and make consistent contact with the sweet spot, then contact me now. I can deliver that improvement.If you want to stay off the lesson tee, then make sure your equipment is supporting your swing when it doesn’t make perfect contact. |
| PUT A GAP WEDGE IN YOUR BAG |
I used to tell all the golfers I saw that they should carry a Gap Wedge because the manufacturers had increased the loft gap between the Pitching Wedge and Sand Wedge to 8°. Has that changed and has my advice changed?
I am not trying to sell you more golf equipment to carry in your bag (there is still a 14 club limit). But you should give some serious thought to making sure you have a 50 or 52° loft Gap Wedge in your bag. If you don’t then you have too large a gap in your bag.
See You on my Lesson T!
