Do you spot a trend?

We all want to enjoy playing golf, and a big part of this is lowering our handicap. Yes, there will be times when your game isn't up to scratch and you go up .1 a few times in a row, but there'll also be times when all of the puzzle pieces fit and your handicap tumbles.

What does your graph look like?

As the year comes to an end, it's important to take stock and examine where you can improve your game going into the new year. There might be several areas that you want/need to work on, or maybe just two or three finer details that will take your game to the next level.

Whatever those areas are, we're here to help. We can identify the key reasons you're not shooting the scores you want, as well as devise a personalised winter coaching plan to help iron out those faults and get you paying your best golf. So, if you want to see your handicap tumble in 2019, come down to the shop for a chat - you've got nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Etiquette down to a tee

As winter rolls on, it becomes even easier to take divots because of the softer ground. With this in mind, it's important to be aware of tee box etiquette when it comes to taking practice swings, especially on par-3s.

Taking a divot on the tee box is easy to do if you're not concentrating whilst eyeing up your tee shot, but at this time of year especially, it can cause lasting turf damage. When taking your pre-shot swings, make sure you step off to the side of the tee box and find a section of longer grass, which will let you brush the top without having to worry about taking a nasty divot.
