It’s exam week for our PGA Diploma students, with both written exams and practical assessments taking place to ensure ‘real-world’ competence. We’ll run a feature on the practical elements next week. A number of our 3rd year students have already gained employment, as a result of their abilities and the reputation of BSI graduates in the industry. There is still time to book for our Open Day this coming Saturday to gain more insight into the programme and start your journey to a career in golf. See details below.

Performance Tip

Common sense habits

Here’s a few simple common-sense habits that can help you play better golf;

1. Always use a tee-peg on a par 3. It gives you more margin for error on your bad swings.

2. Don’t select a club based on the distance of your perfect strike every time. Ignore your ego, take one more club and swing at 70-80%. That’s what the Pros do.

3. Identify where the major danger is on a hole, and strategize to avoid it.

4. If you hit into trouble, play safe and get back into play. Don’t follow a bad shot with a stupid decision.

5. When chipping, you want the ball running on the ground as soon as possible. So practice with multiple clubs, so you have more options than just your lob wedge.

6. Following on from point 5, if you can putt from off the green, do it.

7. If you’re not playing your best golf on a particular day, go more conservative with your strategy. Smart golf can beat good ball striking.
