Hi folks and welcome to my latest newsletter. 

What a week it's been weather wise and the course has been booming due to it and it's great to see it looking so well. Congratulations to Stan and his team.

Getting the ball up and down… more frequently! 

How many times have you felt like you've got your opponent beaten with a solid approach to the green, only to watch them get up and down from the greenside rough… again! It's a great asset to have and frustrating if you're on the receiving end, especially in a matchplay situation. 

Whether it's learning how to apply spin on your chip shots (see below) or adding a bump-and-run to your locker, we can help improve your own short game skills. It's not always a matter of getting too technical, either, often it's a bit of advice on where your hands are or how tightly you're gripping your club, which prove to be real game changers. 

It's amazing how small improvements can end up giving your whole game a boost, not to mention the enjoyment factor you'll get by scrambling really well. Give the article below a read and speak to us if you want us to check over your short game. Click here to send us your thoughts or challenges.
