It’s time to get working on your game

I know it’s still August, but have you noticed how the nights are really starting to draw in? We are now entering the latter stages of the 2017 golf season and you may be finding that you are not getting as much play on the golf course due to daylight.

This is not a time to step back from your golf game, but instead it’s a great time to really put some work in on your game and still save lots of time over your summer playing regime!

It is well known that the best time to work on your golf game is when you are hitting the ball well and a driving range membership at Noah’s Ark will allow you to put lots of practice in without breaking the bank and it won’t take anywhere near as long as playing 18 holes.

At just £19.99 per month (minimum 4 months), you can hit up to 100 range balls every single day, giving you an amazing chance to work on your game.

Whether it’s a swing change or you maybe want to zero in your wedge distances, you can practice every day.

Below is a list of benefits you will get as a member;

• Hit up to 100 balls every day
• FREE use of mini golf putting
• 10% OFF any golf lessons taken
• FREE use of Swing Caddie distance measuring devices when you practice

Play better golf – with Niall McGill

Good grip, good golf

“You won’t see a good golfer with a bad grip”. I was told this as a youngster and believe it still stands very true today.

Your left hand should rest on the club so that your thumb lies slightly to the right of centre and there is no gap visible between your thumb and first finger. You should be able to read about half the name on the back of your glove and see around 2 knuckles on the back of your hand.

Your club should lie in the base of the middle two fingers of the right hand and in the centre pad of the first finger. The little finger of your right hand can either hook with your left forefinger, lie between the first two fingers of your left hand or you can let all your fingers wrap around the club’s handle. Your right hand should completely cover your left thumb, the “V” formed between your thumb & first finger pointing between your chin & right shoulder with no gap visible between thumb & first finger.

The most common fault I see is a player with a weak left-hand and strong right-hand grip, this is caused by trying to hold the club in the palm of your hands. By holding the club in this way, your hands will fight against one another and create restriction in your swing.

A great way to work on your grip is to stand in front of a mirror at home and simply grip and re-grip the club. With a little practice, the correct hold will become second nature.
