Hello Golfers,

We hope you're well.

No one quite knew what to expect from a Masters Tournament in November, but it certainly didn't disappoint. This week's email is packed full of useful topics and exciting products that could really benefit your game. If you want to know more about anything, reply to this email and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Enjoy the read! Crue.

Shop improvements

Whilst we've been forced to shut I have been busy painting the shop and sprucing it up for the re-opening as and when we can. We keep our fingers crossed.

We've also been finishing up the new studio that will house the GCQuad launch monitor and golf simulator software.

Whilst I am not here full time at present all you need to do is click on the link and I'll arrange any product, gift or voucher you need and we'll organise the handover in a COVID safe way, away from the queues and crowds.

Drainage works

I know we are all salivating at the thought of getting back and playing some golf like we saw Dustin Johnson play last week. I thought I would update you on how the drainage works are going.

So far we have completed the drainage works on the 1st and 10th. These have been ongoing all week, starting last Tuesday and were finished on Wednesday of this week.

A new drainage pipe has been laid from the pond on the right of the tenth, across the tenth fairway and down the 1st and into the pond in front of the second tee to relieve flooding on the two holes.

So far so good.

DJ's Masters'class

We had to wait a long time for the 2020 Masters, but Dustin Johnson made sure it was worth it with a stunning 20-under tournament record.

The quiet-mannered American stalked the course with the swagger and calmness of a true champion. His golf was out of this world. DJ avoided the big mistakes (unfortunately, the same couldn't be said for Tiger after a 10 on the par-3 12th) and took birdies as they came. At one stage his lead was cut to just a single stroke on Sunday afternoon, giving the chasing pack and a resurgent Rory a glimmer of hope, only to put his foot down on the accelerator and never look back.

A fully deserved Green Jacket and he'll rightly be the favourite once again come April. DJ's story speaks for itself: four times he has led in a Major going into Sunday but never converted. Well, I guess it was fifth time lucky! And, as Butch Harmon said during the coverage: "he's the closest we've seen to Tiger".

Making practice fun

It’s always difficult to get it right with your driver, mainly because there are a lot of points to get right. The one you’ll always hear about (and probably experience), though, is the dreaded slice or hook…

The drill

Let’s keep this very simple and easy. All you’re going to do is place four tees in a square with a ball (or empty tee, if don’t have anywhere to hit a ball) in the middle. You are going to try to swing through the ball/middle without touching any of the four tees in the corners of your square.

The objective

This drill will help you to develop a swing path that reaches the ball in the right direction and continues through contact. If so, this should help you hit straighter. You can start with plenty of space and make the square progressively smaller as you get more comfortable.

Not going the extra yard

Golfers have enough hoops to jump through on the course if we want a respectable scorecard at the end of it. With golf balls not travelling as far in cold air and not getting the usual run out off the tee, it feels like the winter is just throwing even more obstacles our way!

Rather than trying to rip the skin off the ball by swinging extra fast - especially when it's into the wind - the better option is always to club up. What we would usually see as say 7-iron range, suddenly becomes 6 or even 5-iron range.

Long irons and hybrids can be very useful at this time of year, especially the latter. Being able to swing the club normally opposed to trying to hit it harder will impart less spin on the ball and give you a better chance of finding the centre of the clubface.
