Blast it out in 2010
Welcome back. I hope you had a fantastic holiday season and I wish you all the best for 2010. Let’s get those scores down!
Good bunker play is an essential part of any good player’s game. Being able to get up and down from a greenside bunker will definitely help you shave a couple of shots off of your score.
It is very important to understand that in a bunker shot, you are not actually trying to hit the ball, but the sand behind the ball. This causes the sand to explode the ball out of the bunker.
The key is to think of blasting the sand out of the bunker and towards the hole. A very good way of practising this is to practise hitting bunker shots without the ball, trying to hit the sand to the hole.
Three months of great golfing weather left.
We kick the New Year off with a members Golf day on 29 January 2010. We will be making an enormous effort to bring you more benefits and exciting events in this year, please feel free to contact us should you have any ideas on making your membership more enjoyable.

Answer: In 1992 Ernie played in his first Million Dollar and on the first day played with Fred Couples. When the golf correspondent from the Star asked Els: “So how did your length compare with Freddie’s?” Els smiled and replied: “I don’t know, I never showered with him!”
