This week is our 5 club challenge competition, where choosing the correct clubs is obviously vital to your ability to post a good score. From experience, this is very dependant on your ability to drive the golf ball well. If you are confident with the driver this should be the first club that you include, from here I would complete the set with a mid-iron (5-iron), short iron (9-iron) and a sand wedge.
Again I feel that it is vital to include two clubs that you use from 120yds and in. These are the scoring clubs and therefore improve your ability to get the ball closer to hole more often, also they give you options when chipping and pitching. If the driver is not your most comfortable club, then substitute this for something with more loft, a 5-wood or hybrid, this automatically improves your accuracy and your ability to position the ball in the fairway. I would then make the set-up up with a 6-iron, 9-iron and sand wedge. Enjoy the day, I look forward to seeing your scores!
So only five weeks to go until the new Robert Rock Academy at Kings Hill is launched and it is progressing nicely. Many of you would have seen Rob and myself working at the club this week before he heads off on his next two events in South Africa and Morocco. I'm sure you will join me in wishing him all the best for the trip.
One of the many exciting facilities and services will be the TaylorMade Performance Studio, one of only four in the UK. Not only will this provide a fantastic custom fitting facility, but it will be backed up by exceptional fitting knowledge and customer service. Chris, Sian, Mark, Rob and I completed the TaylorMade master fitting technician course on Monday.
We look forward to sharing our knowledge with you when you next purchase any club in the bag.
Firstly, out of all of the items I have mentioned in the newsletter, the identity of the club's owner from last week's newsletter seems to have created a big interest! All I will say is that he picked up his new custom fitted TaylorMade R15 driver this week and having used our trial one on the course, all three of his playing partners have requested fittings since!
