It's great to see both courses and the Driving Range looking so good. With all the heat and rain we have had over the past week, the grass is very thick and lush, which can make the greens and fringes approach shots around the green a little testing. So here are a few tips that might help you the next time you play…
If you need some motivation to practice, why not treat yourself to one of Monica’s famous burgers next time you are at the range?
Can we suggest that now is a great time to pause and review the condition of your grips?
If they're worn, we suggest you plan to talk to us to check that the grip size of any new grips youre going to purchase are right for your game, rather than assuming the current size is perfect.
An extensive Golf.com survey highlighted that only 24% of golfers in their survey hit their best shots with the grip size they had fitted on their clubs. Wow. So, 76% of golfers could hit better shots.
If you're planning to start with new equipment, along with the traditional fitting steps, include a grip fitting that goes beyond just the size of your hands. And if youre not buying new equipment, maybe theres a whole new game out there for you with grips that fit you and your swing.
Not sure about the state of your grips or whether you could be part of the 76%? Contact us.

 | Have we inspired those of you shooting above 90, to target 89 or less on every occasion this year?
How much better is 16 bogeys and 2 pars (on any Par 72), than what you have to
live with if you’re shooting 95 or higher? So our final tip:
|  | How many 3-putts do you have to suffer each round? Most inexperienced golfers’ cards will reveal 3 or more 3-putts each round. Remove those and you’re 3 shots (or more) closer to 89. So here are two suggestions:
| | | | |  | | |  |
Most 3-putts have, at their root, a poor first putt. Sometimes it’s a poor read.
Sometimes, poor contact. But mostly, less experienced golfers suffer with poor control of speed and distance.
So let’s fix it. |  | | |  | | |  |
Understanding what will happen in the last feet of the putt will not only lead to more great putts that drop,
it should also leave you with a little thought: an easier 2nd putt. |  | | |  |
Every golfer can become a wizard of the greens. There are skills that everyone can learn.
You’ll be amazed at the impact it will have on your scorecard.
