As I am quite long in the golfing tooth, I remember the halcyon days of the 80’s when Faldo, Ballesteros, Langer, Lyle and Woosnam made the hallowed turf of the Augusta National Golf Club their own. Each of them won in spectacular ways; in play offs, with incredible bunker... View Article

I honestly believe that the better way to learn is to come to a group class. This is especially true for those new to the game. By and large they have more faults to work on. When they receive individual coaching, there is a danger... View Article

There is little pleasure in scraping mud off your trolley and having the wheels looking like one of those monster trucks after half a dozen holes. Neverthless, it is becoming more and more a part of winter golf. The courses... View Article
February 1, 2025 7:21 amPublished by Nick WakeComments Off on A different way to assess your roundThe most reliable marker of how you played a game of golf will always be the ultimate score you shot. But sometimes it can be fun and a little more flattering to use other KPI’s of success or failure. One that I like to reflect on is: what was the shortest iron that I missed the green with? Like most... View Article

Will they be as hopeless as ever? The PGA Tour has kicked off in the Hawaiian Islands and the European Tour (now known as the DP World Tour) is underway in the middle East.

By far my favourite of the games that you can play in your bay is the Closest to the Pin. Most of my customers in the group classes use the same club for dozens and dozens of shots in a row when they are practicing.... View Article

November 10, 2024 12:32 pmPublished by Nick WakeComments Off on Jon reviews his golfing predictionsAs we approach the end of the 2024 golfing season, I thought I would have a little look back on my confident predictions for the year made in March and see how I got on. As usual, it is an epic fail on my part! Missed cuts I’m convinced that Viktor Hovland is going to win a major, so went... View Article
November 8, 2024 11:45 amPublished by Nick WakeComments Off on The mental gameThere are many things I admire about the best golfers in the world. But their ability to leave the previous shot behind is the best of all. What is done…is done. It’s the mental game. I bet you behave similarly to the way I do. When I hit a poor shot that has ruined the hole or I miss a... View Article
