This week much of the County will experience extreme temperatures and for many of us we have not become acclimatised during the past few months so must be aware how to continue to enjoy our round of golf.
When the temperature rises we generally loose out appetite but we must still continue with our chosen form of nutrition before, during and after our round of golf. Read More
Well, the day finally arrived.. I was able to say I am a proud owner of an Explanar in Essex! It was a lovely day and a real pleasure to welcome long life friend Luther Blacklock Master Professional and Head Professional at one of my all time favourite venues... Woburn. I have many fond memories of threading the ball through the winding trees both on the Dukes and Duchess courses. I turned Professional soon after winning the Moira Smyth Salver for the low Amateur at the Women's British Open in 1990 and played many Opens there. I was priviledged to play the Marquess course very recently which will be the venue of the Men's European Tour British Masters in October.
As a Coach and player the beauty of this game is the long life learning which occurs and it is this which keeps us coming back for more! I believe one key to successful coaching is imparting information in a variety of ways which the client can relate to and convert to results on their own. This was very evident yesterday with the use of the Explanar. 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 ...
