Conan asked yesterday for some help with his putting so met him today and had a very productive session. Along with Kirsten he has agreed that his practice has to change from 25 minutes on the range just hitting balls and 5 minutes on the practice green to 25 minutes on the green and 5 minutes in the nets to warm up. Smart move as 50% of golf shots are putts. We then went out to play on the course and concentrate on course management. Conan used to swing too quick and hard but has worked with Gareth to slow his swing and correct his over swing and what a difference. Amazing, the distance he is getting from his new swing and it’s consistency on hitting fairways makes such a difference. His stance was a bit open but with a few minor adjustments he started finding the middle more often. Combine that with the improvements on the green I believe he is on the right road to handicap reductions. James submitted his 2nd card for handicap. Emily returned her 1st card for handicap and only one hole let her down. Sarah achieved both her first and second certificates and Chloe also attained her second Certificate. Rory is needing a set of hire clubs and Owen needs a Hire trolley. Things are starting to get busy. Junior President’s Cup is Saturday, Russell Bailey on Sunday and the return of our Family Fun Days the following Sunday. More Fun Handicaps can still be achieved and the Leitfie Winter League could be the most competitively played in recent years.
