Hello Golfers, 

This weeks newsletter is a bit short and sweet unfortunately as I have been playing up in North Wales this week on a superb if not slightly emotional golf break in memory of a friend of mine. 

When Celtic Manor was awarded the 2010 Ryder Cup, Wales Tourism used pictures of the stunning Nefyn Golf Club to advertise golf in Wales. Through these pictures my friend Dave fell in love with Nefyn and it was his dream to one day play the course. Unfortunately Dave became ill and sadly passed away before fulfilling his dream. 



I made the long trip to North Wales with his wife and some of his friends to play Nefyn and Porthmadog in honour and in memory of Dave. 

I can highly recommend both courses and by far they have the best scenery and layout of any courses I have had the pleasure of playing. 

We took the time at the far end of the course to sample a bottle of becks, Daves favourite beer whilst looking on in awe of the view we were surrounded by. I shall be returning for sure as it is now a special place and look forward to having my friend walk with me every step of the way.

Professional Coaching Tip 

Do you know the basics? 

This week just a few fun thoughts about golf that I hope you all know all. However, if not, or you do not do this in your game then it will definitely be worth booking a session and addressing some of these fundamental faults. 

1) where the club points at impact dictates where the golf ball starts much more than the swing path 
2) hitting up on your driver can create more distance 
3) a ball struck out of the toe will go further than a ball struck out of the heel with driver 
4) just because you have hit the floor it does not necessarily mean you are hitting too far down on the ball 
5) the right golf ball can make a huge difference to distance 
6) non custom fitted clubs can cause directional/strike/distance problems even if you are making a good swing 
7) weight/pressure should be nearly fully on the left foot at impact 

Please be aware that starting from next week and through the winter the main days I will be coaching are ; Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday & Saturday. 8.00am - 8.00pm 

Sessions can be booked on other days if possible if you've spoken with me in advance. I will notify of any changes to the days when needed.
