Predictions for 2023
January 2, 2023 3:48 pm
I’ve dusted down my crystal ball again, so let’s look forward to the new golfing year. It starts on the PGA Tour at Kapalua, Hawaii on Thursday, not a bad place to kick off if you ask me. It will be a defining year for golf, that is for certain. The spectre of Greg Norman’s LIV Tour still hangs around... View Article

The ‘must get’ stocking present for all golfers
November 1, 2022 9:09 am
Though winter is now upon us, hopefully you can still pop up to the range to keep your golf swing going through these dark months. The best golf book I have ever read When you’re not at the range and if you are partial to a good golfing read, then let me give you a recommendation: the best little golf... View Article
Bunker follow through
August 3, 2022 9:10 am
No one enjoys bunker shots. We have all seen and done the classic bunker shot error where we accelerate the club into the sand full of hope and expectation, only to come to a grinding halt immediately after impact with the sand. This is largely for fear of catching the middle of the ball with the leading edge of the... View Article
Negative self talk
July 2, 2022 8:26 am
Is there a tricky hole on your regular course where you tend to say this to yourself: “Every time I play this hole I make a right mess of it”? One thing I have learned in this game is that if you expect failure, you very rarely disappoint yourself. Let’s shift those negative thoughts. Negative thoughts are self-fulfilling If you...

I have never been a fan of putting lessons. Most 4-year-olds I see on our Jurassic Encounter adventure golf course can putt very well. We don’t want to over analyse this area of the game. However, getting the ball to go into the hole is not easy. Here are a few practice tips that may help. Note, these are just... View Article

We’re bracing ourselves for the arrival of a batch of new dinosaurs next month. Among the guests, taking up residence on our Jurassic Encounter course, is the gigantic Spinosaurus. Hopefully it won’t be a problem finding space for him – this carnivorous cutie is bigger than a T-Rex! Here’s a few facts about Spino*: • Spinosaurus, or “spined reptile,” was... View Article
Getting out the rough
May 1, 2022 2:23 pm
I always like showing customers this technique at this time of the year as, by now, the rough is growing like wildfire. The greenkeepers are doing their best to keep it down, but there will always be those patches of the golf course that you were not supposed to be in. Possibly the ones that have not had the attention... View Article
Miss on the right side
April 10, 2022 8:36 am
Hitting greens in regulation is an aspiration held by all of us who play the game. But let’s be honest; no matter what our handicap is, the experience of ‘missing’ the green will be a frequent one. The longer the club we are playing, the more frequent a miss, is likely to be. So, with a wedge, for example, your... View Article
