THSG Short Game Weekend

Last week we held our THSG Short Game Weekend for all the members at The Ross-on-Wye Golf Club. We ran clinics to help members improve and gain a better understanding of this all-important part of the game.

When somebody comes to me for a short game session its often the little changes that make so much of a big difference. The difference is then shown in their scoring.

“The average 18 handicap golfer hits around 70% of their shots from 100 yards and in, including putting off course”.

That’s a pretty important part of the game to get right and is SO often overlooked.

We ran a weekend of clinics to help the members at ROWGC improve and have a better understanding of this all-important part of the game. We covered clinics from understating the importance of bounce and using it when in bunkers, too a putting masterclass with our short game specialist Oli Leett.

The sessions went down very well, we even gave time for members questions at the end of every session. We also learnt a lot as coaches picking up on the most common issues, which included the ‘dreaded thinned chip/pitch’, ‘club selection in the short game’ and ‘problems with pace control in putting’.
