From Jack Grogan, PGA Professional: I will be running four free coaching clinics for Members throughout April, covering a wide variety of shots that we encounter on the golf course. Below is a breakdown of dates, times and a little insight into what will be covered during the clinics.
April 8th: Putting clinic: 18:00-19:00
In this session we will explore some of the key areas when putting including posture, alignment and stroke. We will aim to touch base on some of the key components to build your confidence on the putting green and ultimately save you shots on the golf course.
April 15th: Chipping Clinic: 18:00-19:00
This clinic will be covering the areas of chipping around the green from the fringe or second cut. The aim of the session will be to show you the different options that are available to you to use when just off the green and, hopefully, find the one that is most suited to your style enabling us to get the ball closer to the hole.
April 22nd: Pitching Clinic: 18:00-19:00
When we talk about pitching in golf, we are mainly talking about distances from 25-75 yards from the hole. As with chipping, there are various different ways to successfully hit a pitch shot and we will try to cover a couple of ways that I believe to be the simplest and easiest way to pull this off successfully.
April 26th: Full Shots: 18:00-19:00
This session will have a slightly different structure to the previous clinics and will be based on the range. The idea will be for you to come along and practice what you feel you are weaker at (short irons, long irons, driving etc). Throughout the hour, I will spend some time with everyone trying to give a more personal insight into your swing and supply you with some tips and coaching points for you to put into practice and help improve your game.
