Hello golfers,

Welcome to the latest edition of our weekly newsletter. In this week's email, we have a video from Lee Westwood to help you improve your game, we recap a dramatic collapse by the world's best golfer, and we highlight an essential item to your winter golfing kit.

Enjoy the read.

Hands up if…

We’ve all done it. A solid front nine sees us make the turn one or two under our handicap, and we carry on playing the same over the next few holes. All of a sudden we only have a few holes left to play and think to ourselves: ‘I’ve been going along quite nicely, I wonder what score I’m on.’ A quick glance down at the scorecard reveals we’re on for a great round and nice little handicap cut; we might even win the monthly medal! Ten minutes later and we’ve three-putted the next green, lost a couple of balls and left one in the bunker.

Luckily for us, it’s not just us mere mortals who suffer this kind of feat. Stand up, Dustin Johnson – the current world number one. The American was six shots clear of the field with 18 holes left to play at the weekend’s WGC-HSBC Champions Event, only to shoot five-over on Sunday and lose by two shots to eventual winner Justin Rose.

No doubt Dustin will come back even stronger in 2018, and if nerves regularly get the better of you then make sure you come and speak to us about how we can help you.

Get in touch.

He's back...

Exciting news. A certain Tiger Woods announced this week that he’s going to make his comeback at his own tournament, The Hero Challenge in the Bahamas later this year. Tiger is massive for our sport and this event last year had more people throughout the world watch his first round than they did watching the last day of the 2017 Ryder Cup. An incredible stat!

Low scoring in Winter Stableford

Last weekend was the 2nd Winter Stableford, sponsored by Edmondson I.T, take place with some good scores produced in tough conditions. Last weekend’s winners were:

Division 1: 1st I.Hunter 38 points; 2nd J.Button 37 points
Division 2: 1st D.Newman 41 points; 2nd S.Hubbard 37 points
Division 3: 1st K.Swift 38 points; 2nd D.Whitaker 36 points

My coaching skills paid off again with Iain Hunter taking 1st place after a couple of swing changes.

Well done Iain!
