Summer Match Play Competitions - Extension To September Deadlines
Due to the Dave Lee Celebrity Classic, Scratch Open, President's Cup and Ashes Trophy all falling on weekends in September, I have extended the deadlines for the final stages of the match play events. I hope that this will provide everyone with a fair chance of several dates to play their games. Please view the draws on 'Intelligent Golf' to see the revised dates.
The Search For Distance Is In Your Path
You can add so much more fun to your golf by increasing your accuracy off the tee (playing golf off the short grass) AND distance. I know our instinctive thought is that to improve one, you need to sacrifice the other. Golf’s cruel compromise! But it isn’t so. You can have both.
Many golfers have a swing path that will not only reduce their distance but make a trip to the rough more likely. These golfers are striking the ball a glancing, usually right to left, blow that doesn’t maximize ball speed and does create left to right sidespin.
If you recognize yourself and are familiar with the search for your ball in the right-hand rough then we can add both accuracy and distance by changing your swing path.
By changing your swing path so that you are coming at the ball from the inside, you are going to transfer more of your swing speed to the ball at impact. It is also more likely that you will able to actually INCREASE your own swing speed by being able to more freely release the club face through impact. Increasing ball speed is the quickest route to more distance.
At the same time if you are going to impart any spin on the ball with this swing path it is likely to be right to left that almost always create more distance than a fade or slice on the ball.
If you have a swing that is likely to create a left to right ball shape, with less distance than you would like off the Tee then contact us now and we can put in place a plan to add DISTANCE AND ACCURACY.
