Before we know it we will all be stepping out on the freshly mown fairways proudly displaying their beautiful stripes lovingly made by your Head Green keepers. The mud a distant memory...well until you open your golf bag!!!
The transition between winter golf and spring/summer golf is a long one for many and the beloved golf bag has been propped up against the garage wall for a few months, well it's time to learn about golf preparation before we even step onto the first tee. Read More
Well this time next Sunday I know we will all be sitting in front of the television finishing off the last of our Easter Eggs with all communication off except the regular updates on twitter!
It is of course the build up to one of the greatest and most eagerly anticipated golfing spectacular Tournaments of the year on the PGA Tour schedule. The Masters has become the initiator of the start of the UK golf season acting as a motivator to spend more time on the game we know and love. We have had to endure the constant wet winters with often limited playing opportunities over the past six months so from a psychological perspective we feel the season is upon us with the anticipation of Spring like weather around the corner.

Well, the first 2015 SBG UK Golf School took place last weekend at my now regular associated venue of Dunston Hall in Norwich. I have used his venue now for five years and is a regular on my schedule, the whole experience falls in line with the standards I expect from a SB Golf School with many returning year after year.
I have just returned from a very special and memorable experience with a pre arranged meeting with HRH The Princess Royal in which she learnt about the objectives of the launch of This Girl Can and now the National project of This Girl Can Coach which is run by SportsCoachUK.
I have been the Head Coach of the EnglandU18 East Regional squad now for two years which just does not seem possible as it was a position which I never thought was within my grasp. Read More
Many golfers find the pitch shot a tricky one to master in golf, it is one of our "scoring" shots. When correctly executed it can save and make up many strokes during a round of golf. I hope this article will provide you with an insight into the targeted areas to achieve successful pitching on the golf course.
It is important to understand firstly the definition of a pitch along with the objective of the shot which is too often confused with the chip shot. Read More
This is a fun light-hearted blog which I hope you will enjoy on the way to the first tee this weekend on that all important day... when we are supposed to rush out and buy the chocolates, flowers and cards! It is strange how a day with a title can really make us feel guilty and persuade us to pop our hands in our pockets to show we care. We should do this as a matter of cause for our loved ones and reflect on our golf on a regular basis.
Golf has been very special to me throughout my career and it does provide that "attraction" which I can't explain, I lost count the number of times I was going to quit the Tour! then I had no alternative with the decision made for me. Let's face it the game is exceedingly tricky this is the challenge. We are presented with a small club to strike a 1.68" golf ball as straight as possible with varying degrees of carry avoiding numerous hazards along the way. It is a game that is different not every round but every hole and every shot, even amongst the best in the world this is truly visible. The most talked about individual in the industry at the moment is the rapid demise of Tiger Wood's game. I personally think he will come back to his best, any physical and mental recovery from injury can take an awful long time. As a Coach and former Tour player who has been susceptible to numerous set backs it is having the commitment and belief of the body then rekindle the scoring ability that you used to possess prior to the break which needs to be able to withstand the most extreme pressures.
