Push forwards, not backwards Unfortunately, the weather is very hit and miss so far in June and this will have a massive impact on the course conditions, especially some of the bunkers. Therefore, please ensure we rake the bunkers correctly after play to ensure a smooth playing surface for other golfers. What you must remember to do is to push the sand forward with the rake. 90% of golfers who end up in a bunker will rake the sand back towards the rear of the bunker, causing the majority of the sand to build up at the back edge of the bunker, which is what you don’t want as the bottom of the bunkers become compact and lack sand. It's far better to use two hands, follow your footprints out and remember to push the sand forwards, not just backwards.

Only the best technology at LAGC
When our newly crowned Champion Gary Woodland was on the range during the US Open last week, he used the GCQuad Launch Monitor for feedback on his distances and club delivery, and he isn’t alone. Droves of US and European Tour players and coaches are turning to the Quad for its accuracy and instant feedback. You may have also noticed Bryson Dechambeau practising with his Quad on the putting green at times this season.
The feedback the Quad gives you allows you to make sense of what you are feeling, and how what you are doing results in the ball flight/roll that you see. Stuart offers several services with his GCQuad Launch Monitor, and inspired by Gary Woodland’s victory, he is offering you the opportunity to see use it yourself at a temporarily reduced price.

How good does it feel when you strike the ball right out of the sweet spot? Pretty special, right? As much as we'd all love to, striking the centre of the clubface on every shot isn't realistic, which is why opting for some irons with added MOI could make all the difference. |
What is MOI? An iron’s actual sweet spot is no bigger than a pinhead, with anything struck outside resulting in the clubhead beginning to twist at impact – this is what is commonly referred to as MOI. The higher a club's MOI, the more stable it is through impact and therefore more resistant to twisting. So... Higher MOI = More forgiving
|
The secret to better strikes So, here's the secret to getting that special feeling more often with your irons: - Coaching – Yep, let’s take some time to assess your swing to ensure you're giving yourself the best chance of success
- Try out PING’s G410 irons – These great looking game improvement irons feature toe and hosel weighting to increase MOI for more forgiveness
Let’s start getting a little extra forgiveness back in your game with a fun-filled custom fitting session with your local PGA professional – that’s us!
