Logicalgolf tip of the month

Instructor Lisa Mackenzie

Understanding the correct path that the club head should travel on is important to ensure a square club faces throughout the swing.  A common fault is when a player takes the club back in a closed position (Incorrect picture 1a).

1a

1a

This affects not only the path of the club head but your body motion as well.  It inhibits the correct turn and rotation of your body around your spine (Picture 1 b).

The follow through is also inhibited and the player is often left with to much weight on the non target side (Incorrect picture 2).  The result, loss of power and direction as the club is left open and your power left behind.

What you want to do…

Try getting the “TOE UP” (at around hip height) on the back swing (Correct picture 3a). Just remember the first movement is with the arms and club try holding back on the amount of body motion.

This will encourage the correct body motion (picture 3b) and will ensure the correct wrist action.

The follow through is an exact mirror image of the backswing. (Correct picture 4)  You will find that you are able to get through the ball easier getting a better release of the club.  The result for you is an increase of power and direction.

Adidas and Taylormade Sample and Warehouse Clearance Sale

The River Club conference venue will be hosting the “Adidas and Taylormade Sample and Warehouse Clearance Sale” the 27, 28 and 29 November 2009.

Charity – Men on the side of the road

We have recently been introduced to a great concept that enables us to reduce unemployment without the risk of picking labourers up from the side of the road. Let’s face it, in our crime-ridden society we are all fearful of picking up strangers and employing them in our homes or businesses. Men on the Side Of the Road will be able to assist you with your labour requirements by simply making a phone call. They have a list of prospects that are categorised by skill in various areas of the peninsula. Whether you need a plumber, bricklayer, painter or gardener they know someone that can do the job! They will also advise you on the recommended daily rate for a particular job, and as a non-profit organisation it does not cost you anything extra.

If you would like to make use of their services, or you want to support this initiative to reduce crime and unemployment, call now on 021 448 9000. For more information on Men at Work click here.

Compliments

Nothing gives us more pleasure here at the River Club than meeting a customers needs. Jo-Anne from the Jo-Anne Hilliar Landscape Design School recently held a conference at our facilities, here is what she had to say:

“This comes as a short note to ‘Thank The River Club’ most sincerely for the most efficient handling of our recent seminar that we ran last week. All the delegates were delighted with the venue, together with ourselves and we were very happy with the service.

Thank you very much for your efficiency. Please would you congratulate your staff for their courtesy and interest in looking after us so nicely? Thank you very much for your ‘Professionalism’ as well particular.”
