Well, today was proof that a few rain drops can't dampen the spirit and enthusiasm of my annual Golfing Girl Festive Golf Day! It was a matter of last-minute re scheduling and planning with a few quizzes, jokes and all round good banter did not detract from the fantastic day.
If this photo does not give you the Wow factor then I am not sure what will! I know many of you have seen little Kipling on my Facebook page but for those who have not, he looks so adorable! Read More
As golfers who take lessons from a qualified PGA Professional we would all like to achieve the same outcome "Improvement" However this word can be looked at in far greater depth. I am not suggesting your practice time has just suddenly increased by 5 hours! but your understanding and the type of practice your undertake becomes more deliberate and ultimately more effective
When we decide to embark upon a series of lessons I ensure we have a clear goal which is specific to my client and section of the game, when I ask the question "What would you like to improve upon? many of my clients reply "To become more consistent" I explain that there are a number of specific elements that are required to achieve this goal. This is where my new performance programme launched 2015 will become more apparent. Read More
It was a little bit of a shock today when the deicer and bobble hat had to be located, however this should come as no surprise as we are well into the winter period now. Every October we should start to think a little more about what type of winter golf practice we are going to embark upon in readiness for our Spring golf season. Every golfer will have a different set of goals and expectations but if I can guarantee improvement I think that would make any golfer smile!
This is the time when I discuss with my clients to produce a winter plan which will involve fewer playing rounds with increased technical work upon specific aspects of the game. I am not advocating we stand outside for 2 hours hitting golf balls in sub-zero temperatures! There are a number of simple drills that can be carried out in the comfort of your home which is always an attractive proposition. I will be adding these into my forthcoming newsletter with other exciting news and events. Read More
The one area which really struck a chord when coaching at The Open was approximately 85% of golfers who I helped with their putting had never received or considered such a lesson. The amazing figure is I would suggest putting alone.. makes up just under 50 perct of the game. We often use,as I would recommend the putter just off the green too. I know from my years of experience it is absolutely the least element practiced too so how can we expect to improve?Here is just one element which I hope you can take on board ⛳️ Level Foreams at address Make sure your right shoulder ( right handed) is not “ pushed” forwards This has a dramatic effect on the initial part of the takeaway.I will be adding some videos soon as hopefully can start to swing a club after 11 months of limitation. I look forward to Sarah’s Short Game Success Lexden Wood Golf Club shortly. Due to demand I will be adding further dates. If you are on Instagram why not follow me there too:SarahBennettPGA ...
