Hello golfers,

In this week’s email, we ask whether Bubba's return to form and change in equipment is a mere coincidence and we look at a key combination within your golf bag.

Enjoy the read.

There are some fantastic practice and coaching facilities at the club which were opened in 2014 and it is these facilities that will really allow the partnership to flourish.

We will be able to offer a first-class custom fitting solution in what are some of the countries best facilities and the coaching opportunities are endless. With a covered riving range, dedicated coaching bay, along with short game area and the 6-hole Lettoch Links short course, there is something for all the family at Pitlochry.

As we get into the season we will look to organise a Noah’s Ark Golf Day up to Pitlochry, where you can all enjoy a day’s golf at the fantastic golf course and enjoy some great food afterwards in Cargills Clubhouse.

Play Better Golf with Andrew McHardy

Lob it high and watch it fly

A high lob shot, also known in golf as a flop shot can be extremely useful when out on the golf course.
There are two very important aspects to think about when playing this type of shot.

Firstly, make sure you have at least 60% of your weight on your leading leg. Starting with the weight on your leading leg is easy but making sure the weight remains there through-out the swing is much harder.

When you reach the top of your back swing, make sure that your weight is heavily on your lead leg. Placing a drill stick in the ground next to your trail hip is a good aid to stop you from swaying on the back swing.

Resurgent Bubba?

It’s hard to know whether the quirky American is best known for his pink driver or for winning two Green Jackets, but seeing Bubba Watson struggle over the past 12 months – so much so that he was on the verge of retiring at the age of 39 – was a sad sight.

He plummeted from being a staple name inside the world’s top 10 to being well outside the top 100, so you would have been forgiven for not expecting much from him at last week’s Genesis Open. However, the 39-year-old returned to the top of the leaderboard and secured a two-shot victory in fantastic fashion.
So, what happened in those 12 months in between? Well, Bubba switched golf ball to a brightly coloured ball from a different manufacturer. Only recently has he reversed his decision and went back to the old faithful that helped him win two majors, and almost immediately he wins his 10th PGA Tour title. Coincidence?
