Greetings from Niall McGill
Noah's Ark Golf Centre - PGA Golf Professional
 

Following a great take up in our new driving range membership over the first 3 months, we are today announcing some new membership options. To offer you some flexibility with your practice we have now created 3 different membership options.

Annual Advance

If you pay for a year in advance, you can have the absolute biggest saving. At just £199 per year, you’ll be paying just £16.58 per month or 54.5 pence per day for your golf practice… Now that’s great value golf!

   

3 Months Advance

This is a great option for the golfer who wants to do some serious work on his game over a short term period.

Monthly Direct Debit

This is for the golfer who understands that in life, you get back what you put in. You get ‘nothing for nothing’ and to reap the benefits, you have to do the ground work. Once you start regularly working on your game, you’ll find that you really start to enjoy hitting balls. Golf on the range doesn’t have to be boring, we’ve got lots of practice ideas to keep it interesting!

If you’re interested in our driving range membership, then pop in and have a chat with one of our Pros, or give us a call on 01738 440678.

We love to help our clients find their new golf clubs, and we’re absolutely committed to finding you the very best clubs for your game.

This week, I performed a driver fitting for one of my students, Neil Robertson. Neil is currently using a PING G5, fitted with a NV-65 stiff shaft and was looking to update to a newer model.

During the session we thoroughly tested drivers from all the main brands, but it was Calaway’s Big Bertha that posted the best numbers. Neil was spinning his current driver a bit too much and the Bertha managed to reduce his spin by around 800 rpm. The bertha also helped increase Neil’s vertical launch angle by 1.8 degrees. The result of the se improvements was 11 yards carry and 26 yards total distance.

Neil old, low launch, high spin numbers.

Improve your driving distance

Today I’m going to talk to you about ‘centeredness of strike’, and how a simple thing like the height you set your tee at, can have a huge impact on how straight and far you hit your driver.

The first thing I’m going to need you to do, is pop into your local pro shop and ask if they could spare you a few bits of driver face tape (this is used in custom fitting golf clubs and most pro shops should have it). Next I’d like you to go the range and hit some drivers with the face tape on and the tee set at your normal height. Once you have hit 3 or 4 balls, have a look at where the strike marks are on your driver face tape.

Maximum transfer of energy from club head to ball will be achieved with a centre strike, and due to the curvature on a driver face from top to bottom, there could be 5 or 6 degrees of loft difference between high and low marks on the face.

If your strike marks are all very low on the club face, then you could try teeing the ball up a bit higher, and if the marks are consistently high on the face then you can try teeing the ball lower. If the marks are consistently from the toe, try standing a little closer and if their consistently from the heel, then stand a little further away. Swing changes are not always necessary to improve your game, sometimes, all that is needed is a little tweak.

If however you discover that your strike marks are all over the club face, then maybe it is time to call in the experts!
