Hello golfers,

 

Staff news

Looe Golf Club would like to welcome our new Chef, Mr Chris O'Neill, who is joining us from Monday, 23 November. Chris will be with us initially part time, until Kathy retires in mid-January. I would like to wish Chris well and I look forward to working with him.

Buggies

Please be aware that during these wet spells, buggies may not always be in use. Please call the club before you leave home to make sure that they are still in use.

 

Finding a few extra yards…

You've probably noticed that your best drive isn't quite travelling as far in the air as it was a few months back. Don't worry, you're not losing your power, that's what happens when the air is cooler and fairways are softer.

To squeeze a few extra yards out of your drives during the winter, try these three tips:

1. Tee your ball a little higher and move it forward in your stance to encourage an upward angle of attack, therefore adding loft.

2. Grip the club a little lighter than usual, which will help your wrists hinge more easily for a steeper angle of attack to promote a higher flight.

3. Load more weight onto your right side than usual, which also creates a steeper swing for longer carries.

Give this a go and let us know how you get on, and if you want help with any aspect of your game, don't hesitate to speak to us about a lesson or two. Get in touch here.
