Greetings golfers,

Welcome to the latest edition of the weekly pro shop newsletter. The Open starts this week and we hope you are looking forward to it and get the chance to sit down and watch some of the action. Enjoy the read.

Tip of the week

Chipping Drill

Here is a chipping drill where your only focus will be the landing area!

- Use 3 different clubs (ex: 58°, PW and 8 iron)
- Space out 4 clubs by 3 feet apart to create the landing areas.
- Go up & down the zones and then change club.

What you will find here is that the ball flight and run on the ball for each club and zone will be different.

This will then help you with club selection on the golf course.

Happy golfing and let me know how you got on!

Junior coaching

Coaching Session

We had a great junior coaching session last Saturday morning as Harry Hall came along to give me a hand with the session. Harry demonstrating a pitch shot to the group gave a valuable insight into the correct technique and inspiration as to what can be achieved from their golf. A massive thanks to Harry for giving up his time to help, he is a brilliant ambassador for West Cornwall Golf Club and we are all very proud of him. Thanks Harry!


Junior Coaching Starter/Taster Group

My junior sessions are due to restart on Saturday, 29 July. The aim of these sessions is to give youngsters a starting place to take up or simply just to try golf. They are very informal and designed so that everyone enjoys themselves and develops friendships within golf. The vast majority of our juniors in the past have started within these groups. If you know anyone who may be interested in taking up or trying golf then please let them know.

Time - 9-10am
Cost - £1.00 per session
Equipment - supplied if needed
Ages - 3-18 years old welcome


Volunteers Needed

If anyone out there would like to get involved with helping out with our juniors on Saturday mornings, assisting the youngsters whist playing etc, then please let me know. A team of volunteers within the club is vital to the success of the section. We are very lucky and already have a team of highly devoted volunteers that have been critical to the success our juniors have enjoyed in the past. If you would like to join the team then please let me know.

Competition news

Winter League

This seasons Winter League is fast approaching (starts late September). If anyone out there has any ideas for this years Winter League, would like to volunteer to help with the running of it or maybe would like to take it over and run the whole event themselves then please let me know. The Winter League is one of the best competitions within the club, I'm wondering if anyone out there wants to get involved.

It's not just about hitting the green…

If you really want to lower your scores this year it's important that you don’t just settle for hitting the green, but instead focus on hitting the right part to avoid three-putt territory. This will be a key consideration for the pros at Royal Birkdale this week, just take the 17th green for example:

Birkdale 17th green
THREE-PUTT TERRITORY

While aiming for the middle of the green is usually a safe bet, if the flag is on a tier an approach to the wrong level (red zone above) will often lead to a three putt.

TRUST YOUR CLUBS

Having faith in your clubs and knowing their yardages allows you to be confident and aggressive when you need to go at a flag that is hidden by a hazard or tier (green zone above).

CUSTOM FITTING WITH TAYLORMADE

One way to enhance your confidence and learn all your yardages is to have a fitting session with a member of our team.

If you’ve not upgraded in a while, you’ll also notice that new sets like the TaylorMade M1 irons are packed full of distance and forgiveness in a relatively small head, helping your mishits fly much straighter, whilst providing additional workability.

Come and see the team next time you're at the club or get in touch via the button below.

Playing a new course isn't easy

A lot of golfers get excited about going to play at new courses - whether that's in club matches, invitation days or just a game with friends - but usually they go ill-prepared and find themselves struggling when it comes to judging new holes and hidden hazards. Take the below illustration for example:

A GARMIN GPS DEVICE CAN HELP

When you tackle a new course it can be very tough to gauge how far you have to hazards and to greens that sit above or below the fairway, which is why it's often difficult to play to your handicap.

However, with a GPS golf watch like the Garmin Approach S60, you can have a caddie on your wrist that identifies trouble via large colour maps on its touchscreen display.

It also delivers precise green and lay-up yardages for over 40,000 courses worldwide and you can get distances to any point on the course using Touch Targeting.
