Ex-Ryder Cup Player visits Verulam

On Monday we were joined by ex-Ryder Cup player Jose Rivero and long-time European tour player Santiago Luna. The day was arranged by Gerald Hill and Angel Matamala.

I was luckily enough to receive an invite and had a thoroughly enjoyable game playing with Jose Rivero, Angel and Louis Matamala.

Thanks again to Gerald for hosting the event.

Members Bringing Guests

As you were aware last year there was a change in the club status following withdrawal from the amateur sports club scheme.

Accordingly members are reminded that to minimise our corporation tax liability following our withdrawal on 31st March 2016 and in order to qualify for the member’s green fee rate, members will need to pay for their golfing guests at the point of sale. If the member does not pay for their guest then the concessionary green fee rate will not be available.

Take your pick...

In recent weeks we’ve given you a few of our top picks in store and this week is no different as we take a look at the best footwear currently sitting on our shelves from Under Armour.

SPIETH ONE
SPIETH ONE

Under Armour's flagship shoe can give you sport shoe like comfort with tour levels of stability thanks to a cleat design that prevents mid-swing foot rotation and a firm heel that aids support.

PERFORMANCE SPIKELESS
PERFORMANCE SPIKELESS

This spikeless model has been styled to be versatile enough to wear away from the course, while still delivering plenty of grip when you play thanks to a sole pattern that fights slipping.

This shoe blends a sporty look with Storm technology treated uppers that ensure it's waterproof and breathable. Its cushioned midsole also ensures lasting comfort.

Don't do these...

There are some common faults we’ve all been guilty of over the years and finishing off-balance is definitely one of them. One of the most common causes of a bad finish position is trying to hit the ball too hard, but there are some others to be mindful of too…

check your posture
CHECK YOUR POSTURE

Standing too far away from the ball might be easy for other people to spot, but it’s hard to feel yourself. It can cause your body weight to move too far forward over your toes, which increases the likelihood of toe strikes and can make you tip forward through impact.

Don't reach for it
DON'T REACH FOR IT

Even worse than the previous fault is players who stretch to reach the ball mid-swing. It comes from the same root cause of being too far from the ball, but the results can be far worse as you lose balance and topple over, with shots from the hosel a real possibility!

avoid sitting back
AVOID SITTING BACK

We often teach players who struggle to transfer their weight properly, hanging back or standing up through impact as they try to help the ball up. This leads to some nasty shots, including thins and fats. Thankfully they are relatively easy to fix during a lesson.
