Huge improvements for Carol
Pictured below is Carol Hunter who had an on-course lesson last week, we worked on Carol’s basic chip shot around the green with us changing her set up to make her action functional. Placing her ball back in her stance dictated her (more forward) hand position and hence a more passive release pattern. Instantly Carol got better results, I will be looking out for improved results Carol. If anybody would like to find out more about coaching on or off the course give me a call on 028 904 83825.

New shoes? Walk this way... |
Golf is first and foremost a walking sport, with many of us strolling more than five miles in a pair of shoes every single round. You might read that fact and instantly recall getting off the 18th green wanting nothing more than a sit-down, feet aching, after realising your shoes aren’t as comfortable as they ought to be. Well, if that is the case, it might well be time for a change... |
Just arrived - Skechers Pro V4 Skechers has been making huge strides in golf over recent years, and their 2019 footwear range looks set to continue that trend. Worn by PGA Tour winner Matt Kuchar, the Pro V4 is new for 2019 and effortlessly combines style with unbelievable comfort to offer you everything you need from a golf shoe. If you're yet to experience the comfort Skechers shoes deliver, be sure to pop by and try these on. |
