Zach Settles Into New Position

Its been a whirlwind couple of months for our new PGA Professional Zach Galliford. Joining us from Royal St Davids GC Zac brings a wealth of experience in custom fitting and coaching.

Zac had this say regarding his first couple of months with us -

My first couple of months as PGA Professional at Ross on Wye GC could not have gone better. I’ve had a very warm welcome from the THSG Team, the members and visitors at Ross on Wye GC and already feel at home. It has been great to work with such a proactive professional team with a passion of helping golfers of all ages to achieve their goals socially and competitively. Being a part of a busy and thriving membership will give me the opportunity to develop my skills and experience as a PGA Professional.

Previously, I have been an Assistant professional at Royal St. David’s GC in Harlech, North Wales from July 2019 which has enabled me to learn first-hand the role of a PGA Professional. I have also been fortunate enough to compete at the highest level of amateur golf nationally and internationally, travelling all over the world playing against the best players in the world including the likes of Jon Rahm, Xander Schauffele and Matthew Fitzpatrick. I have represented Wales at all age groups and my biggest win to date was capturing the Welsh Amateur Championship in 2016.

Learning from such experienced individuals of the THSG team, who specialise in all aspects of the game of golf will help me to develop as a person and as a professional. I have a keen interest in on course coaching and custom fitting to help players get the most out of their game. If you would like to get a lesson or custom fitting, please come into the shop or call and we can arrange a time to improve your golf.

Zach’s passion in the game is easy to see and hes been a credit to the team during these busy times. If you haven’t met Zach as yet, please pop along to the pro shop and book in for a game with him or even better book in for a lesson.

Yes we would all like to drive the ball 30yards further and gain yards off the tee, what about having the best of both worlds.....LONGER and STRAIGHTER!! In this clinic we cover the key areas of building a strong foundation in the backswing and how hand path plays a key role in the downswing. All in all if you have a big slice or a big hook on your drives this is the clinic for you!! 

Saturday 17th March 3pm-4pm - Building A Reliable Short Game In 2018

Venue - Short Game Area - All Clubs  

The average 18 handicap golfer takes 75% of their shots from from 40yards and in!! Do you think your short game is good enough to make the most out of this stat??? We will first of all talk about what makes a great chipper and pitcher giving you real life examples from both the mens and ladies tour. In this session we will play from a range of lies, slopes, distances and targets to help you understand why its so important to have a devise/adaptable short game. 

Saturday 24th March - 3pm-4pm - Radically Improve Your Approach Play

Venue - Driving Range 100 yards and In / ALL CLUBS 

Do you want to give yourself more birdie and par opportunities?? Hitting your approach play shots closer will take stress off your putting allowing you to free your mind and stroke. If we are constantly missing the green or leaving ourself huge putts from 100yards and in, sadly our scores won't improve. In this clinic we will cover strength and stability in your set-up and how this has to be maintained throughout the swing to help deliver more consistent results at impact! 

Saturday 31st March - 12noon - 1pm - The easiest way to take 5-8 strokes of your score this year

Venue - Short Game Area / All Clubs

We will be working from 50yards and in during this session and also touch on becoming a better bunker player. If this is a poor area of your game, you are losing out on a huge number of shots during a round of golf. During this session we will also be thinking outside the box, in pre shot routine, distance control and how to control trajectory of your shots.
