Balance
May 4, 2021 8:29 am
A balanced golf swing requires focus both at address position and throughout the swing to the end. So let’s look at each section in turn. Firstly, at address. You should endeavour to feel the weight balanced equally between both feet. The exception to this is the tee shot where a slight bias to your back foot is preferred. The weight... View Article
Spine Straight Posture
April 1, 2021 7:19 am
I am sorry to start this tip with a sexist statement, but by and large ladies are so much better at the golf posture than us men. They tend to stand straighter with their spine, whereas many of the men, particularly the taller breed, look a touch like Quasimodo when they are about to hit a golf ball. This error... View Article

Back to basics: grip pressure
January 5, 2021 3:48 pm
Prior to each shot, the very first thing we do is take hold of the golf club. Unfortunately, in most cases, we have already made a big error, by holding the golf club as if it were my throat!!! If you watch other sports, you can see how hard the protagonists work to reduce the tension in their action. Tennis... View Article
2021 Championship Predictions
January 2, 2021 11:13 am
After a year like no other, Jon Woodroffe ponders on his predictions for the big tournaments in 2021. If last year was a golf hole, then we started with a reasonable drive, followed by a shank out of bounds. We continued with a mildly mis-hit fairway wood that crawled towards the green. Then we duffed the chip and four-putted. Not... View Article

Our resident Master Professional Jon Woodroffe takes a look back at a different kind of year. The expression ‘2020 vision’ means perfect. I think we can all agree this year has proved to be as far from that as you can imagine! We all know the bad bits, so I wanted to make my review of the year more upbeat... View Article

My favourite golfing accessories
November 9, 2020 12:33 pm
Here are my favourite five golfing accessories. Bearing in mind I started playing in 1971, so some of these have been around a while. 1. The dual strap carry bag I have always preferred to carry my golf bag, even as a senior player. It’s actually more energy efficient. For example, you walk over tees and greens rather than around...

What’s your ‘Go To’ Shot?
October 13, 2020 5:15 pm
One of the biggest frustrations of this game is that you cannot play the same all the time. We are all looking for the same thing: consistency. Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but you will never achieve it. Sorry. Every golfer, no matter what their standard, gets fed up with their lack of consistency. But if you can... View Article
