Greetings from Ian Burnett

Who'd like to see more matchplay? 

How refreshing it was to see some matchplay golf on the box this weekend. The Paul Lawrie event in Aberdeen may not have attracted the strongest field, but it was great to see this form of the game make a return to our screens. 

Strokeplay golf can get a little tiresome and we're sure many of you relish a bit of matchplay now and again, especially if you're struggling in the medals. Matchplay requires an entirely different mind-set; you're required to react to your opponent's successes and failures. You may have seen players at the weekend miss the odd short putt or two and there can be a good few mind games going on. 

It makes us think of that classic matchplay situation:

Concede short putts early in the round, and stop conceding them later on at a more critical juncture

Inconsistent putters may struggle with this and give you an important edge. So, if you've got a matchplay tie coming up, then make sure you put the time in on the putting green and don't be caught out by this old trick. If your putting isn't up to scratch why not get in touch to book a putting lesson? Well done to Thailand's Kiradech Aphibarnat, who managed to hold his nerve, holing out from four feet for victory.

Coaching news

Need more spin?

As the greens become very firm this time of year, and the ground is bouncy, the need for spin from your wedges is vital! A slight loss in spin from your wedges could easily be the difference between a comfortable up and down or leaving yourself 10 foot for a par. However, this all counts for nothing if your ball striking is inconsistent around the greens. 

Therefore, we can and would like to help you lower your scores around the green and drop those shots that were left out on the golf course. We can use our GC2 launch monitor for anything that hits the balls 18 inches +. This piece of equipment can be essential to demonstrate the importance of a goos strike around the greens and how an improved technique will improve spin rates and stop the ball quicker once it lands on the green.

So, if you are frustrated with the amount of shots you are losing around the greens then we are here to help. A new technique with new wedges will make a huge difference to your game and can be the difference between taking 3 or 4 to get down to 2 or 3. Pop in and see any of us to book your session and really see the difference in your short game!
