Swing Studio Coaching News
Craig Kimber came for a session in the Swing Studio suffering from the occasional smothered shot to the left. As you can see in the left hand picture his hands are a long way from his body just before impact as he is swinging too steeply down onto the ball causing the shot left. We worked on a couple of simple feelings to improve his body coil in the backswing and hey presto, he soon felt much more powerful and started to attack the ball on a perfect plane and hit straight shots ( see how the hands are perfectly under the chin in the right hand picture).

Warwick Taylor came for an iron fitting and loved the Mizuno DNA fitting system which measures exactly how each player loads the shaft and calculates the perfect shafts for your swing. From the choice of 48 different shafts, Warwick hit the Dynamic Gold S300s best and loved the look and the feel of the new forged Mizuno MP25 heads - what a fantastic Xmas present to look forward to!!
A report from Greg:
With all the new clubs on offer and with Christmas just around the corner, I thought it was time to treat myself. Having played with Titleist equipment on and off for the last 16 years there was only one set for me, the new AP2 716 irons. Having tried the other offerings from Mizuno and TaylorMade, the AP2 irons with the new True Temper Dynamic Gold AMT shaft performed best with an average increase of 8 yards with my 7 iron. The AMT (Ascending Mass Technology) is the newest shaft from True Temper, the shaft weights increase as you move from long irons to the P/W. True temper engineers have maintained traditional swing weights throughout the set. The lighter shafts will allow a higher ball speed with the longer irons than with a traditional constant weight sets. Titleist have exclusivity on this new shaft for 6 months. If you would like to try this new technology, click here for a fitting.
Is the pressure starting to mount as you wonder who will win the Malibu for last place in this weekend's Christmas Stableford on Saturday? Are the self doubts creeping in? Should you have practiced harder this year? Had you been meaning to book that chipping lesson for the last three months? Are you feeling a little twitchy over those crucial two foot putts? Only time will tell.......
Don't forget anyone wishing to use the practice range through the winter are welcome to use our courtesy buggies to run to and from the practice range. Enjoy practising under the covered bays in a beautiful setting using fantastic new Titleist NXT Tour practice balls at about half the price of Pine Ridge and Hoebridge.

Unsung Hero
Alex Forbes is the Chairman of Guildford Saints Football Club where they have teams with girls and boys aged between 7 -18. He nominated their club secretary Dawn David for the Sport Personality of the Year Unsung Hero award 2015 for London and she won. She now goes to this year's show and has a chance of winning the overall UK prize. The BBC then went to film one of their training sessions on Saturday 21st November, which he had to organise without telling Dawn as she did not even know he had nominated her. Then half way through the session they sprung the award on her - a great moment - well done Alex.
