The Players Championship this past week was interesting to watch if not exciting. The winner, Web Simpson simply putted everyone off the course in the first 3 rounds for his first win in several years. It was interesting to hear that he attributed his improved putting to a lesson he had with Tim Clark. Simpson had been an exponent of the long putter and was one of the casualties of the rule change a few years ago.
It was also very nice to see Charl Schwartzel back near the top of the leaderboard in a big event, and the comments were that a change of coach and some home truths from Louis Oosthuizen have managed to get him in to a positive frame of mind again. Let’s hope it’s the start of some excellent form for the coming major Championships.
The heavy rains are welcome and didn’t seem to put our favourite tennis coach, Greg Moran off his practice session.

 | | |  | | | If you’re choosing your golf ball because you want the most spin from the shorter Wedge shots,
then please make sure your Wedge grooves are sharp and clean, and that you’ve
invested in your short game technique.
| | | | | | |  | But, having decided what’s right for you, measure the available golf balls against that criteria.
You’ll find one that one out-performs the others. Don’t follow the herd. Invest in your own golf game.

 | | | We’re two weeks in to some simple advice on how to improve your
scorecard using the Par 3 holes. They’re an opportunity for everyone.
Removing risk helps.
Simple Tip #3
Where’s the easiest and safest target? Before you even look for the flag,
find the point on the green that gives you the largest room for error.
|  | | | In this example, even going over the back of the target area marked will leave
you a chip and putt for a 3, so you’re looking at a 4 at worst. Go at the flag and the
consequences of a miss could be much greater. Even if you fly the flag and land in the bunker,
you’re then faced with a bunker shot back towards water. Going at the flag is a 2 or bust! | | |  |
You’ll be faced with a course management challenge on all approach shots,
not just Par 3’s. Try playing a round where you take a ‘safety first’ approach to every shot.
Check out your score. Is it an improvement if you play within yourself?
Course management is an important part of your game; if you’d be interested
in an accompanied round to help with your course management, | | |  | |
