Academy member’s news

I know that at this time of year several academy members will be approaching the end of their annual membership and are nervous about the progression of their golf game.

If you have any doubts then please come and talk to us in the pro-shop. I’m confident that all of you are heading in the right direction but may need a few refresher lessons.


Just to help you here, Tiger Woods, still the no.1 golfer in the world, averages around 10% of shots from the middle of the golf club? If that is the case why do we think we should hit more than that?

One big difference between Professional golfers and amateurs is course management, we accept that we will hit poor shots but just concentrate on the next shot. There are no pictures on a scorecard just a number.

Plan you way around the course, e.g. don’t just hit woods off every tee when you have shots to play with, leave yourself the distance for your favourite club and then try to 1 putt.There is so much advice we can give you but not enough room on this blog so if you need help please pop in to the pro-shop.

Most of you are just low on confidence; you may hit just one poor shot and then every positive thought goes out of the window.


Take care and happy golfing.
