Good afternoon Golfers,

Its halfterm this week and the juniors have been outbraving the weather, always great to see howwell the juniors are getting on. If you havenoticed Aaron and I practicing a little morethan usual recently it's because we are both offto (hopefully) sunny Portugal to play in theNorthants PGA Overseas Pro Am next week, withClub members Alan Soper and Paul Waterfield. Itincludes a practice round, and 4 rounds of golfover the Oceanico Victoria and Oceanico Oldcourse, which will be hosting this year'sPortugal Masters in October.

Tip of the week

Adam's Tip of the week - Is you setup hurting yourgolf game?

Many Golfers get off to a bad start before theyhave even started their backswing. Did you knowyour setup could be preventing you from playingyour best golf! Although no two players look thesame whilst addressing the golf ball, there iscertainly something that most good players havein common: they start in balance with theirweight evenly distributed across their feet.

One of the key factors that they do well, is lettheir arms hang naturally and relaxed from theirshoulders. This is a key part of the setup as itallows you to make sure you have enough space toallow your hands and arms to swing freelythroughout your swing. If you find that you hitthe ball heavy or thin, your set up could becausing this.

Remember in the golf swing the club is going tobe travelling anywhere from 60-100mph, thereforeit's vital we have enough room for the club toswing freely.

So try this next time you're at the drivingrange, take your normal address position:

How are your arms hanging, are they in anaturally hanging from your body (not deadstraight in a forced positon)? If you find thatthey are not, this will really impede the freeswinging action of the golf club. To help fixthis, is you may need to stand taller in yourposture or simply lift your head and shouldersback to straighten the top half of your body alittle. Once you have done this grab the cluband let it rest on the floor, you may find thatyour distance from the golf ball has changed soyou will need to adjust it accordingly.

Setup is a key part to playing consistent golf,but remember there is not one setup, grip,posture or alignment that works for everyone,its finding one that works consistently for you.

If you feel you need any help or advice pleasedon't hesitate to contactus
