Henry Wilmore, has been a super student and is off to a super start this season!
He's begun the season with a 15 handicap, however that is going to go down pretty quickly I'm sure. In his last round, he scored an impressive nett 62 (-10) from the blue tees, winning the competition!
Over the past few weeks, he’s also successfully transformed a problematic weak fade into a powerful low draw. Now, he’s aiming for a single-figure handicap.
This just shows how strategic improvements and a bit of work can dramatically change your game. Feeling inspired? Why not set some goals of your own this season? Whether it’s a certain score, turning a fade into a draw, or just having more fun, we can create a plan for you! Why not start today?

Claire Webster came to me at the back end of last year as she wasn't feeling at all comfortable with her swing and had lost some confidence in her overall game. After working together on making Claire's swing more efficient as well as working hard on her chipping action she managed to win the ladies medal this week in awful conditions. Claire carded a score of net 72 which was a massive 12 shots lower than the scores she was recording in November!

We’ve all been there; on the greenside fairway but still far from the hole. Do we play a delicate wedge shot or a strong and long putt? Both shots involve some risk and lots of skill. But there’s a third shot that – if you know how to play it – is easier and more effective.
Don't forget to let us know what matters most to YOU in your personal golfing journey. What matters most to us, is that you have the best experience possible every time you tee it up.
By answering these 6 simple questions, you'll go into the running to win one of TWO 60-minute Private Coaching Lessons!
Having a go-to chip shot makes your short-game experience lots more fun and also helps keep your score down. Let’s find yours and unlock more consistency and greenside glee.

Our new Golf Professional, Ben Lawrence, has been having an amazing time getting to know all of you members better and finding out how to improve your playing experience at South Winchester.
We recently ran a fun competition to introduce him, where you had to guess how many months Ben was a member here before turning Professional. A big thank you to all of you who entered and a massive congrats to Simon Alford for guessing the number on the head with 35! He wins a 9-Hole Playing Lesson with Ben!
Well done Simon!
For all of you who are slightly envious and are still looking for ways to improve your game, these playing lessons are the perfect way to assess the quickest and easiest strategies to improve your scoring. So if you're looking to get more enjoyment from your game, be sure to book yourself in with Ben today!
We only have 3 spots left in our Level 1 Learn to Play Programme starting TOMORROW!
This programme is the best, easiest and friendliest way to get involved in this great game. So if you or anyone that you know would like to join this growing and vibrant new community of confident golfers at South Winchester, be sure to sign up today!
Arthur Bryant has been coming for lessons since the start of summer. Back then, he was playing off of a respectable 16 handicap. After getting to know his game, his biggest miss was a big slice off the tee (which a lot of us can relate to). We put some simple plans in place and turned his nasty slices into beautiful baby draws!
Now, he currently plays off a 5.7! That's a remarkable achievement, Arthur! Our next plan is to put some work into his short game so he can break par through 18 holes.
Contact me if you'd like to start a journey like Arthur. Get your golf ball in play more often. Get squarer and straighter. Even learn to hit a little draw. Your game will be so much better.
Is this you? The player prone to the infuriating topped shot? Remember two things: 1. Laugh it off, even the very best hit them sometimes. 2. Learn how to lower the chances of it happening again.
Lessons within the above packages can be tailored to your individual needs as lessons can be used in 30 min, 1 hour or 2 hour blocks. Lessons can be taken on the range, short game areas and most importantly on the course.

Thank you to everyone who has entered Ben's 9 hole playing lesson competition... You have just a day or two left to enter before the winner is announced on Wednesday 4th October.
A playing lesson is one of the best ways to assess your overall game and gain some invaluable advice on how to improve your scoring without necessarily changing your technique.
One of these 9-hole playing lessons is up for grabs with Ben, all you need to do is let us know what your golfing goal is for 2024 and guess how many months Ben was a member at South Winchester before turning Pro!

Joe Maynard has been an absolute pleasure to work with this summer. He was very keen to improve on his game and we set some clear plans at the beginning of the summer.
After putting in some work on the fundamentals of his swing and also learning how to score around the greens with an improved short game, things started to fall into place. Joe managed to cut a massive 10 STROKES off of his handicap this summer, going from a 27 to a 17 in the space of a few months. What an achievement, we can't wait to see what you achieve next, Joe!
If you would like to start your own journey of improvement and get more joy from your golf, chat to me. We can create a personal plan that is tailored specifically to your needs and goals. Next thing you know, you'll be having the season of your life, just like Joe!
Work on different aspects of the game each week in a fun, relaxed group setting.
Saturday's 2pm - 3pm £10 per person These classes are limited to 8 people per class, classes are open to both men and woman and non members are very welcome.
Click on the link below to check out the schedule and to book your place, payment is all done online. This Saturday's theme is fairway woods. I would think of these classes as a great opportunity to have a good practice under the watchful eye of a professional.
Thinking about your golf game, where would an improvement make the most difference? Not just to your scorecard or your handicap, but to how much you enjoy the game.
What was your best score this summer? How would you feel if you shot that on a regular occasion? How would you feel if you shot an even lower personal best?
From all the golfers we've worked with over the past few years, we know that nothing beats these feelings. And that this is the time of the year to put in the work!

We have had a wonderful few months of golf here at the Junior Academy, with sensational summer camps and joyful juniors. And now we're even more excited for a new term to start!
Each of you will be able to close your eyes and think of an exquisite golfing moment. Usually that will be the perfect shot, often unexpected, that surprises you AND your playing partners.
September 1 hour playing lesson offer £50 (normal price £65) There will be an additional cost of £10 for non members to cover the green fee element.
Book your 1 hour course lesson next month in order to help you lower your scores, improvement doesn't always come from changing technique, it can come from playing certain holes slightly differently etc. I find playing lessons extremely useful in order to get a full picture of what's going on as well as being able to work on different lies and situations.
Course lessons are to be booked at 8.30 or before so we can play some holes on the back 9 or from 2pm onwards on the front 9.
Offer limited to the first 5 people that drop me an email txt or call on the following details sam@southwinchestergolfacademy.co.uk - 07928768022

We're excited to share the success of Karen Sprunt, our first Student of the Summer!
Despite struggling with her back and golf game due to lockdowns, Karen took Pilates classes to strengthen her back and worked with me on her long game. The results are outstanding!

Congratulations, Karen! Your success motivates us all as we embark on a fantastic summer of golf. Here's to many more triumphs on the course!

Jonathan's dedication and hard work have paid off big time!
Jonathan Anderson came in for some lessons as he was struggling to make consistent contact with the ball (something a lot of us can relate to). He has since worked super hard on his game, practicing like a champ and never giving up. Through some specialised drills just for him, he has nailed that consistent swing he wanted.
When it came to game time, Jonathan now had a swing he could rely on. He rocked the seniors medal last week with an incredible net score of 67 (-4). This awesome win is proof that Jonathan's determination and passion for improvement! Go, Jonathan!
Why not have a lesson this week before I head of on holiday in order to help you improve your scores this Summer!

I recently went to check out the awesome facilities on offer at Stoneham golf club to see first hand how impressive it is.
Ian and his team of Nick, Adam & Georgie are incredibly professional and extremely knowledgeable when is comes to clubs and fitting them correctly so that golfers get the most from their equipment.
The driving range and fitting centre has to be seen to be believed, the Trackman software that they use alone is £20,000. As you are well aware I do not offer a fitting service anymore, I have actually been sending customers of mine to Stoneham for a little while now as I had heard great things, the feedback has been amazing so just thought that I would tell more of you about this as you may be thinking of upgrading your equipment at some point in the future.
Give Ian Young and his team a call or drop them an email on the details below in order to arrange a fitting 023 8076 8397 - ian@ianyounggolf.co.uk
The fitting costs £50 which you will get off the price of any clubs that you subsequently order from them, they can get all of the leading brands at very competitive prices.
If you do go for have a fitting mention that you have been recommended by myself to receive the best possible price!

The best way to set up more scoring opportunities on your approach is to find more fairways from the tee. Other than it being easier to play from the fairway, it’s also so satisfying to walk off the tee and onto the short grass knowing that’s where you’ll stay. We want you to experience that satisfaction more often.
Spring has sprung and it's time to embrace the longer, (hopefully) sunnier days and use them as an opportunity to take your game to the next level! We have some exciting programmes and events for all ages and abilities coming up, so be sure to check them out below and book yourself, your family, friends and loved ones in!
Brian Telfer has been an exceptional student over the last few years, always practicing hard on his game with a great attitude toward improvement. He knows that "all good things take time".
We've been working on Brian's swing plane in order to create a swing that is more reliable. This has given him a lot more confidence in his game and needless to say, something very good happened yesterday! Stepping up with this confidence on the second hole, Brian hit the perfect shot and watched the ball drop into the hole on the 2nd.

If you’ve already shown the athletic ability to get to 90 or threaten that score, then it's highly likely that we can help you improve your swing quickly to the point that you’re in the low 80s. The question is how quickly and easily.
Introducing our Level 2 Learn to Play Golf programme, designed for all of you golfers who have already learned the basics of the game and are looking to improve your skills and confidence on the course.
Cleanly struck tee shots are the ticket to turning more par 3s into scoring opportunities. And what you do before taking the shot plays a big part in the quality of your strike.
Purchase a 1 hour individual golf lesson and pick the player that you think will be wearing the green jacket come Sunday evening.
1 hour lesson = £65 & if you pick the winning player you receive another hour lesson absolutely FREE!!
Enter into the competition by firstly paying online via the link below, secondly email or txt me your name and your pick for the masters on the details below. The deadline for entries is after the second round has been completed!.
Club selection can be the difference between hitting the green to set up a birdie chance and missing the green to set up a tough up and down. Let's make sure you turn more par 3s into scoring opportunities!
Last week, we spoke about the importance of knowing your best and average yardage for every club in your bag. And when it comes to par 3s, there are three more yardages to consider if you want to make your own luck and hit more greens.
Looking for a way to get your kids off their screens and onto the green this Easter? Our junior golf camp is the perfect solution!
Through fun and interactive games, your kids will learn the ins and outs of golf, as well as develop skills like teamwork, sportsmanship, and patience (hey, they'll need it for those tricky shots). With our experienced instructors and top-notch facilities, your kids are guaranteed to have a swinging good time.
So don't let your kids be a birdie on the couch this Easter - sign them up for our junior golf camp!
You’ve probably heard that famous saying: “The more I practise, the luckier I get.” But we’d take that even further to say that it’s not just how much you practise, but how you practise.
Setting up a scoring opportunity on your approach is about more than making good impact with the right club. Use the power of observation to make your own luck and maybe you’ll get even closer to the pin.
We’ve got an opportunity to improve your performance
A consistent address is one of the foundations of a reliable, repeatable swing. Have you got specific address cues for your setup with every club in your bag? If not, we’ve got an opportunity to improve your performance and playing experience from tee to green!
Share this joy of golf with others and get them into our Learn to Play programme. It's the ideal introduction to this wonderful game, where there's no pressure and a lot of fun to be had.
This is the last chance to join our amazing programme next week, so be sure to get them signed up today!
Looking for added driving distance and bragging rights over your playing partners? Improving your posture helps increase your shoulder turn, so you can achieve your distance potential!
By now you've seen our Learn to Play programmes starting next month which is the perfect, fun and friendly pathway for you to get into this great game.
However, if you or anyone you know are still unsure, why not join our Free Taster session on 14 or 18 February? We'll introduce you to the coach who is taking the progamme where they'll show you the ropes and chat about how this journey will be beneficial specifically to YOU!
Click the button below to join the session. We can't wait!
Behind every fairway and green in regulation is a clubface set square to the target. Do this more often and you will raise your game and lower your scores!
Too many putts can be the difference between a memorable round and one to forget. When it comes to putting, less is more. And if you want to shave strokes and have more fun on the greens, we’ll need to start with some key basics.
Our Learn to Play programme looks to make the learning process as simple (and FUN) as possible, and breaks down the traditional barriers associated with the game.
We are also running a FREE Taster session, where you can come and see what all the fuss is about! Join our Taster by clicking the button below, or sign up for the programme immediately further down.

Tired of those pulled or pushed iron shots ruining your birdie chances? Want to play more stress-free golf and enjoy more satisfaction on your approach to the green? If you answered “yes”, then the first step is for us to make sure you’re squaring your irons at impact.
How many fairways do you generally hit each round? What number are you chasing? Spending more time in the fairways is possible with an effective and repeatable swing.
I hope that you enjoyed a fantastic Christmas with your friends & families.
This is just a note to let you know that I am back coaching at the club this Friday & Saturday, I do have spaces available if you would like to book a lesson.
If you have outstanding lessons in the bank then this is great time to use them in order to get ready for the season ahead!
The entire driving range is now open for practice which is great news for everyone this winter.
To book a lesson either call, what's app, email or txt on the following details

A ‘kinetic chain’ of joints and muscles extends from your ankles to shoulders. When that chain is strong, your energy transfer is better, and your swing is more powerful and consistent. But one weak link can cause a breakdown. That’s why mobility matters.
This a great time of the year to get your grips changed due to the fact that you might not be playing as much golf, you don't know how warn your grips are until you actually hold a new one.
Special Offer If you have 9 grips or more fitted then you receive your 10th grip for FREE!!
The crossline grips are extremely durable and great in the rain, I have these grips on my clubs and have been very happy with them, there are so many options when it comes to grips and in the past I have personally tried many types and have always come back to the crossline, in my opinion you can't beat them as they last so long. With that said tho if you do want something different I do have a catalog that I can order from, they will be more expensive.
I wear a medium glove so therefore I use a standard grip size, I would recomend that if you use a large or XL glove to go for a midsize grip as that would be more comfortable.
When I receive your clubs I will try for a turn around time of no more than 2 - 3 days maximum, if you would like your clubs regripped then please contact me on the details below so i can make the arrangements to get the clubs from you. No clubs can be left at the clubhouse for me as it must be sorted between us, therefore you will not be able to use any credit that you may have at the club for payment. I will ask that payment is made via online banking.
I look forward to hearing from some of you soon.

Negotiating a golf course successfully is about weighing up risk versus reward. Knowing your dispersion patterns enables you to adjust your aim, so you can minimise the risk of going out of bounds and reap the rewards of staying in play.
This is just a note to make everyone aware that starting from mid November I will be offering a professional regripping service.
If you or anyone you know needs his or her clubs regripped then please get in contact on the details below. Having a good solid grip on the club is often overlooked as I do many lessons with people who do not realise what a difference a new grip can make, so have a look at your current grips to see how shiny or worn they are.
I will be sending out the prices etc very soon as well as the details of a special offer. In the future if you do wish to get your clubs regripped by myself then this is not done through the club at all and can only be organised and paid directly to me, no clubs can or will be left to be collected in the club house at all.
Expect to see another note extremely shortly highlighting the costs etc as discussed above. So if you are on the lookout for some new grips then please hang fire for another week or so and I can do them for you!

When you think of golf’s scariest shots, what usually comes to mind is the drive on a tight fairway, the approach over a water hazard, the deep greenside bunker and the fairway wood off the deck. But there aren’t any gremlins lying in wait on the green, right?...
Massive shout out to John Stanley & Max Hake for winning the King Alfred Cup this Summer, they also came close last weekend finishing second in the Charity Cup.
Both have worked hard on their golf games in the last year and have been having individual lessons. John has moved his handicap from 24.9 to 20.5 and Max 27.7 - 21.8 since the Spring, keep up the good work guys!!
If you need any help with getting your handicap down this Winter then please contact me on the details below.
Hitting a successful approach shot is tough enough when there’s smooth fairway surrounding the green. Add water to the mix and “tough” can easily morph into “scary”.

An effective pre-shot routine is one of the main building blocks of a solid golf game. It’ll make you feel more confident and give you a more stable foundation to deal with tricky situations.
Selecting a club, executing the shot and hitting your target is an extremely satisfying experience. By using data about your game – like your dispersion pattern – correctly, we can add more satisfying moments like this to your playing experience.

Daniel was a very new golfer in March this year, his first handicap was 29.3. With some direction from myself and lots of hard work from Daniel he now plays off 17!! I am sure that he will not stop there!!.
Over the Spring/Summer we have worked on his grip & posture as well as the overall swing.
If you would like to lower your handicap then please get in touch for a FREE 30 min assessment. During the assessment we will discuss your goals for the future and then set about making a plan in order to get you there!.
To book your assessment please contact me on the details below.
We love the par 18 challenge. It’s a great benchmark of your wedge play and putting. And once we know your score, we’re able to create a much more effective short game improvement plan for you. But what score is the benchmark for you?
There are few golf shots more satisfying than a crisply struck pitch that hops and stops next to the hole. To help you hit more of these shots, we’ll need to take a look at how balanced you are.
Here's where they'll learn to play like their heroes
What a weekend of golf! The unbelievable atmosphere and traditions of the Old Course. Tiger's ovation on his final hole on Friday. Rory holing out from the bunker on 10 on Saturday. Then Cam Smith's magic on and around the greens to bring home the Claret Jug on Sunday. It was everything you could have asked for from a major at the home of golf.
When you need to get up and down, the type of shot you play will depend on your lie and distance from the green. But identifying the shot is only half the job, you’ll also need to choose the right club.
Massive shout out to Steve Bancroft for his continued success!
I started working with Steve 3-4 years ago when he was playing off a 21 handicap, he had a goal in mind of one day becoming a single figure golfer.
"Sam introduced changes to my game bit by bit. He has never over complicated what needed to be done, and by introducing one or two changes each time, I have been able to impliment the different aspects. Every part of my game has improved under Sam's tutelage." Steve Bancroft
I am happy to say that the on the 13th of June Steve got cut to 8.3!! I would also say that he is a very hard worker and has always put the practice in every step of the way.

The Tour average for greens hit in regulation is just under 70%. For mid-handicap amateurs, it’s about 20%. When you’re hitting one out of five greens, being able to get up and down in two shots (scramble) is essential.

Golf doesn’t have to be a game played over four or five hours or even 18 or 9 holes. You can have a competition with 3 friends in 45 minutes before or after your day starts or ends. A Par 18 Challenge is a great benchmark to track your greenside skill.
With Father's Day on Sunday, we'll be sure he'll be glued to the US Open and thinking about how he will take on the course in the weeks to come. This is the perfect opportunity to get him an improved golf game to say thank you for being an awesome dad!
Our gift cards can be made to any amount and customised with a special message to make your dad feel extra special this Sunday!
A short-game coaching guru once analysed thousands of regular golfers and determined that the average length of the final shot to the green was 19 yards.
It's US Open week! With all the buzz around the golfing world lately, this promises to be another exciting week for golf. But closer to home for all of us, it's Father's Day on Sunday! Out of all the gifts, we know a better golf game is always welcomed with open arms.
1 game. 2 Scorecards. Multiple ways to play better golf
You probably know that the final number on your scorecard has more to do with your performance with a few clubs at the bottom of your bag: your wedges and putter.
If your kids would like to have an amazing time in the great outdoors, playing incredibly fun games and meeting some new mates, this is the perfect opportunity to do just that!
Go on a journey where the grass is short and hazards are distant
Most golfers shooting above 90 are struggling with the ball going right (for right-handers). If that’s you, hitting the ball straighter, or even with a gentle draw, gets you on a better journey.
Shooting below 85 or even near to that number is very difficult if your first move on the downswing takes your hands “outside the line” (that’s a technical term we use to describe the relationship between your swing and the plane).
By getting your child into golf at an early age, they'll be making new friendships that could last a lifetime. However, one of the biggest bonuses for your family is the enormous opportunity that it creates for some quality family time throughout the generations.
Last time out, if too many holes were spoiled right from the off, by a slice or big fade off the tee that results in you being in the rough or trees, then the good news is that it's often an easier fix than you think.
I am excited to announce that this Wednesday 4th May South Winchester is hosting a pga coaching seminar and I am looking for 3 people that would like to have a free lesson.
Times available 11.15 12 1.30
If you would like to take one of the times above then please contact me on the details below.
Let's share this joy with others and get them into our Learn to Play programme. It's the ideal introduction to this wonderful game, where there's no pressure and a lot of fun to be had.
Golf is so much more social than so many other sports. It's also a great way to keep healthy and active, without placing a lot of strain on the body. And we all know how satisfaction and pure elation of hitting a great shot.
We see so many golfers, across the skills spectrum, who live with more greenside anxiety and higher scores than they should. But it doesn’t have to be this way, there’s so much fun on offer around the greens.
The average golfer hits 3 to 6 greens in regulation per round. That means up to 15 holes per round will probably require a wedge shot within 40 yards. That’s why it’s good to get into the habit of regularly playing 9 holes of 40-yard golf.
This is how you can have so much more fun around the greens
While you’re playing a full 18-holes, there’s another game you should keep track of; your average from 50 yards in. Next time you play, keep a record of how many shots you take each time you play from 50 yards out.
4 x 1 hour individual lessons + 15 minute putting session = £220 (Saving you = £47.50) Lessons can be used on the driving range, practice areas or the golf course.
This special offer is limited to the first 5 people that get in contact vie txt or email.
I am pleased to announce that you can book your golf lessons online.

From tee to green, these opportunities will make you more keen
We believe every golfer – regardless of skill level – can improve their playing experience. The trick to helping you play better golf in the future, is having as clear a picture as possible of where you are right now.
Our Academy Membership is all about helping you gain confidence and starting you on a path to becoming a full member at the club. To a place where you are going to get more enjoyment from your game and enjoy the benefits of being a club member.
On putts over 20 feet, regular golfers don’t strike the putter face at a consistent spot. Some strikes will be towards the toe and some will be nearer the heel.
Our Free Taster Days are the perfect way for your children to get into this great game. On Saturday 02 April, Coach Martin will be running you and your kids through our amazing Junior Academy programme and all the benefits that it entails.
From the super fun on-course playing opportunities; to the ability to track your child's individual progress in the programme on our state-of-the-art App, we're so excited to show you just how much fun your child can have playing golf.
There is no cost to attend, but sessions are limited to 8 people so be sure to book your spot as soon as possible!
We will have four sessions running at: 10:30am 11:30am 1:00pm 2:00pm
How many times have you stood over a really long putt and just HOPED to get it close enough to survive? With the right lie angle for your putting stroke and setup, you’ll KNOW you’re getting it close.
Improving your golf is great, but improving together is even better! Our weekly group clinics tackle a different topic each week and are a ton of fun.
Not only do they help you learn all the skills and gain confidence in your abilities, but you also get to meet some great like-minded people who you might just end up playing a lot of golf with in the future!
Be sure to see the finer details below and book your spot by clicking on the button below. Let's get ready for a fun season of golf ahead!
Mondays & Fridays: 10am - 11am £10 per person Places limited to 8 people per session. Sessions are open to non-members.
Knowing you can comfortably handle long putts takes the pressure off needing to land your ball close to the flag on approach. When you’re able to consistently two-putt from distance, your golf experience is transformed.
Focus on what's important and make a ton more putts
The face angle of your putter at contact has between 80 and 95% influence on the launch direction of your putt. That means a tiny error could cause you to slip by the hole, even with great tempo.
Knowing only your ‘carry’ may help you clear the fairway bunker, but it’ll send you rolling off the back of the green. And knowing only your ‘total distance’ may help you stop your approach shot on the green, but it’ll probably land you in that fairway bunker.
Why not come and improve your golf this coming Autumn in the Spanish sun!.
I am looking to take a group of golfers away for a 3 day coaching trip in October 2022, noted below are the details of the trip.

We start with our Holiday Camps next week, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 2pm-5pm each day. Just £35 per day or £100 for 3 days.
Martin has taught beginners through to elite golfers, including members of the Austrian National Team during his time spent in Austria.
Martin starts with us this weekend, and will be on hand to meet many of you including those that are attending the new member event on Sunday.
As an introductory offer, Martin has 20 x free 30-minute assessment lessons to give away, if you'd like to claim one of these please email Martin directly at martin@southwinchestergolfacademy.co.uk
Your total score after 18 holes has a lot to do with the clubs at the bottom of your bag. But before we can know just how much, we need to work out your short game score.
Hitting fairways is important but not as important as greens hit or putts per round when assessing your game as hitting the ball further in the semi rough can be more effective at times in my opinion
I would recommend keeping a track of how many greens you hit and how many putts you have over the next 5 rounds to see how your averages stack up against the above numbers, you can then see what you need to improve to reach your handicap goal.
If you have any questions regarding the info above or would like some help with your game in order to hit more greens or have less putts then please contact me on the details below.
Join me every Monday & Friday morning for a group coaching session.
Each week I will be helping you with a different aspect of the great game from driving the ball to holing those tricky short putts.
Fridays are running currently, Monday classes will start in early March.
Mondays 10am - 11am Fridays 10am - 11 am £10 per person, places limited to 8 people per session. Open to non members.
To book your place on the weekly classes please click the link below, you will be able to see which subjects we will be covering on each specific date. There will always be a lesson on even if the weather is bad.
Your “dispersion pattern” is the area that you usually land the ball. We determine this pattern for each club in your bag by taking an average yardage spread across several shots. With this knowledge, club selection and game management becomes a lot easier.
Give them the opportunity to have as much fun as you do
Need any more reasons to learn to play this amazing game? Pass this message onto your mates, your cousins or even your grandparents, it's never too late to join in the fun!

Here's a stat that you really should be looking at
Hitting a green in regulation (GIR) means you’re on the putting surface in two shots less than par on a hole. But GIR is based on a scratch golfer’s expected performance.
I am very excited to announce that I will be holding two experience events for complete beginners.
Tuesday 22nd February 10am - 11.30am
Saturday 26th February 12pm - 1.30pm

Why not come and improve your golf this coming Autumn in the Spanish sun!.
I am looking to take a group of golfers away for a 3 day coaching trip in October 2022, noted below are the details of the trip.
La Cala Resort & Spa Fly out - Monday 17th October 2022, Fly back Thursday 20th October 2022
Trip Includes * Return flights Gatwick - Malaga * Transfers (Spain side) * 2 hours of coaching per day before the round * Unlimited range balls * On course coaching daily * 3 rounds of golf on the 3 courses * Use of the La Cala spa * Buggies included daily * Daily prizes to be won.
This trip will be fully organised from start to finish so all you will need to do is relax, play golf, improve and most importantly have fun!.
The places are limited so if you are interested in finding out more regarding this trip then please email or call me on the details below.
The key to more enjoyment is a long walk down the fairway
Yes, the statistics on the major tours now tell us that those with the longest tee shots are making a great living, but you’re not trying to make a living from the game.
“You drive for show, but putt for dough” was a saying that used to have some relevance to tour professionals and the highly competitive. It’s a lot less relevant to them now (as proven by the big-hitters at the top of the money list) but was it ever relevant to the regular golfer?
I would encourage everyone to have a think about what you would like to achieve or get from your golf this year. This could be something as simple as finding more people to play with or a beating a specific score or handicap goal!
I am offering 5 people the chance to book a Free 30 minute assessment with myself in the month of January, this is a great opportunity to have a look at your game and discuss how I can help you in 2022 with your golf.
To book the free assessment please contact me on the details below.
Join me every Friday morning for a group coaching session.

Forget scores and handicaps for a moment. Picture a shot you’ve hit recently that felt great. A shot that sounded sweet, flew true, and landed softly. Those are the moments we play for.
Congratulations to Paul Scott for getting a hole in one on the second hole yesterday.
It is great to see Paul's hard work pay off, over the past few weeks we have been working together in order to help him hit higher and straighter iron shots.
If you would like help with your game then please get in touch, although i cannot promise hole in ones haha.

Playing from long, wet grass comes with the territory at some courses during the winter months. But your golf experience doesn’t have to get stuck because of it.
We've got your winter planned out for you right here
With an epic summer of golf now behind us, some of us may know exactly what we'd like to improve before next season. However, others might not quite know what aspect of their games will have the greatest impact on their scoring potential.
How would you feel being the longest in your fourball?
Let’s create more great experiences for you. Let’s create greater thrills and better walks. Let’s have a look at your tee-shot efficiency: your impact position and consistency, and your launch conditions created.
Whatever their ability level, golf can help children with their physical, mental and emotional development. Among other things, they will learn gross motor skills, hand-eye coordination, etiquette and how to safely socialise. Plus, it's fun!
We were overwhelmed by the amount of positive responses we got from our newsletter that went out last week. Our winter programmes that we have planned are going to put more friendship and social connection back into golf while encouraging you to reach new heights TOGETHER.
I think you will all agree, you have more fun playing golf when you are playing well as it gives you a great feeling to know that you are improving.
Helen & Katrina are a great example of this as they have been having lessons and improving for a while now, we have worked on all of the different areas of the game as well as on course lessons working on course management etc.
Helen (pictured left) is particularly happy as she just drained the longest putt on the putting green i have ever seen!!
If you want to improve your golf and have more fun then contact me on the details below.
Listen to Richard and Sam and go further than ever before
How fast do you swing the clubhead? How many yards do you hit your tee shots? With those two numbers we can calculate how ‘efficient’ you are with your ‘yards per mph’ measure.
Attack 2022!! Do you want to reach your golfing goal in 2022!?

Golf is meant to be a journey shared. In fact, well over 50% of golfers say that “fun with friends” is MUCH more important than being competitive. Golf is a ‘human’ pastime. We want to put more friendship and social connection back into golf while encouraging you to reach new heights TOGETHER.

Pure satisfaction is so much closer than you think
If you’re shooting in the 90s then what if it took less than 20 hours of learning, practice, and feedback to get into the 80s? Let's get those hours in before next season starts.
Well done to Richard Cooper for passing his 2nd Year PGA Exams with flying colours!

Thinking about your golf game, where would an improvement make the most difference? Not just to your scorecard or your handicap, but to how much you enjoy the game.
This won't surprise us, but will definitely help to surprise you
This is one of the craziest years we’ve ever experienced. So let’s hit the reset button and be even crazier. Let’s make this the year we play better golf than ever.
Away from the screen, real connections are made on the green
The past 18 months have seen ‘connection’ become more digital than ever before. While that’s enabled many adults to keep working, it’s deprived many children of school, sports and friends. Golf can make up for this with skills development, physical activity and friendship.
Knowledge is power. Power gets you further down the fairway
Some tee boxes are especially scary and intimidating. But you can gain the upper hand with an understanding of your dispersion patterns. This knowledge enables you to adjust your aim and minimise risk, freeing you up to approach a daunting hole with more confidence.
Using your dispersion patterns gives you a much better idea of where to aim to keep your scoring chances as high as possible. You can use dispersion to better manage a new course, and even to score on it as well.
The best decision you can make, over and over again
Game management is about weighing up risk versus reward. Knowing your dispersion patterns enables you to adjust your aim, so you can minimise the risk of going out of bounds and reap the rewards of staying in play.
During your next few rounds start to take note of how many putts you have in order to get a feel for your putting handicap.
If you would like any help in lowering your putting handicap then why not book an hour putting lesson with myself or Richard, please contact us on the details below.
If there's one thing we can help you improve this month, this is it
Dispersion patterns are easy to determine and once you understand them, you’ll know where to aim to minimise your risk of landing in hazards or out of bounds.
Richard and I are looking for playing partners for some upcoming Pro Am events. If you have never played in one of these events then I would highly recommend it as they are great days out, also getting to play on some of the best Hampshire courses in their purest condition.

Susie had a 1 hour playing lesson on the first 4 holes and managed to make a gross par on the tough 4th hole!!
Susie has a playing handicap of 34 so I am sure you would agree that a 4 on that hole is a great effort.
Playing lessons are the perfect way to get a full picture of what is happening with your entire game in order to then move forward with a plan of action to get you to your intended goal.
If you are interested in improving your scores and booking a 1 hour playing lesson then please email, txt or call me on the following details.
We remember how inspired we were watching the Olympics on TV as children. When you hear Pros talk about how they got started in a sport, often they mention a memorable performance by one of their childhood heroes.
Why should that be any different for your kids, especially now that golf is back at the Games? Our Junior Summer Camps are the perfect way for them to use the inspiration from their heroes on TV and start something amazing.
Reach your golfing goals in 2021!! with Sam & Richard

Our junior coaching experts have thought of everything to make these camps accessible and flexible for the parents, and fun for the kids!
Your children will be provided with specialist coaching during their games-based learning so that they develop as much as possible during these super entertaining sessions. We also have all the equipment and junior clubs available to use (and if you’d like to purchase some, just let us know)!
We also offer an early drop-off and late pick-up service, to accommodate you and your hours. We can't wait!
8-handicapper Paul Richardson came in for a lesson about a week ago and we made a few tweaks to his swing. He was struggling with a bit of a slice, but in no time we managed to turn it into a sweet baby draw.
Paul then went out and shot 37 points and followed that up with a Nett 68 in the Medal. And we've just heard that he shot 37 points again on Sunday, beating his handicap three rounds in a row! Unbelievable golf, Paul!
If you'd like to lower your handicap and get more joy from your golf like Paul is (you can really tell by the amount he's playing), we have some awesome programmes coming up so be sure to check those out, or contact us for any questions or enquiries.
Most golfers shooting above 90 are struggling with the ball going right (for right-handers). If that’s you, hitting the ball straighter, or even with a gentle draw, gets you on a better journey.
We hope you're as excited about the amazing golf that's going to be played this week at Royal St George's! But why leave all the good golf up to the Pros when you can start playing more amazing shots yourself?
Why not pop in for a lesson or get your kids signed up to our Junior Summer Camps? There's plenty of great golf to go around!
Shooting below 85 or even near to that number is very difficult if your first move on the downswing takes your hands “outside the line” (that’s a technical term we use to describe the relationship between your swing and the plane).
Last time out, if too many holes were spoiled right from the off, by a slice or big fade off the tee that results in you being in the rough or trees, then the good news is that it's often an easier fix than you think.
We've been having an awesome time introducing golf to so many new golfers this summer. From young to old, this game has something to offer everyone.
Les McIlroy came in for some help and we determined that in order to make him more consistent, we would put in some work on his backswing. After a few drills and some time on the range, he went out and won the division 2 medal with a great score of nett 70 in tough conditions! Great playing Les!
If you or anyone you know would like to get involved and have a smashing good time like Les, we have just what you're looking for. Our Summer Camps are a perfect way to spend the sunny days outside for the younger ones; while our Golf Experience (13 July) and Learn to Play programme (starting on 10 July) have few more spots left. Be sure to get in quick and book your spots!

Join our fun summer camps. With structured games-based learning, your kids will learn some great new skills and will be provided with a real taste of golf.
Improve the experience for everyone | Starting 04 July
There are so many exciting events such as The Open and Ryder Cup just around the corner. Won't the experience be so much better if we can share it with those who might not be playing golf yet?
Whether it’s the immediate benefits like fun, outdoor exercise and family time or long-term benefits like physical and mental development, golf has so much to offer your child.
Andrew is a more than handy golfer playing off an 8 handicap, however he was struggling to break that magical number of 80. He came in to see us here at South Winchester Golf Academy and it was decided that a 30-minute putting lesson would be the best use of his time.
After assessing his stroke and one or two drills later, Andrew went and shot his best round of 76 since joining the club! Unbelievable golf, Andrew! We know that more scores like these are just around the corner!
If you're looking to work on a particular aspect of your game, or would like to find the quickest way to improve your scoring, come in and see us. We would love you help you achieve the scores that you know you are capable of!
Can you score 10 points? Or do you need some help to do that?
A short-game coaching guru once analyzed thousands of regular golfers and determined that the average length of the final shot to the green was 19 yards.
Experience everything golf has to offer | 20 or 26 June
Golf has so much to offer. From the technical aspect of the swing and the health benefits of spending time outdoors, to teaching discipline and having a laugh. It really does have it all, but we're sure you know that already!
It was fantastic to hear that David Renwick put together an unbelievable score of 65 to win the senior's medal this past week. Really well played, David!
As you can see from the messages below, he was actually on the brink of giving in before coming in for some assistance. Needless to say, we think he might not be giving up for some time to come now!
We know how frustrating this game can be. If you're struggling with any aspect of your game and it's having an effect on how much you're enjoying the game; that's why we're here. Book yourself in for a session so that we can help you create many more smiles and memorable moments on the fairways, just as David did last week!
Golf doesn’t have to be a game played over four or five hours or even 18 or 9 holes. You can have a competition with three friends in 45 minutes before or after your day starts or ends. Par 18 is a great benchmark to track your greenside skill.
Just when you thought your dad had everything, you got him a whole new golf game! A set of new skills that will provide endless enjoyment and provide many a memory.
You probably know that the final number on your scorecard has more to do with your performance with a few clubs at the bottom of your bag: your wedges and putter.
Purchase a 1 hour individual lesson from me today for the special price of; £50 (normally £65) The 1 hour lesson can be used on the range & practice areas or as a playing lesson on the course, its completely up to you.
This offer is limited to the first 3 people that either email, txt or call me on the details below, lesson to be paid for today, you then have till the end of September to use the lesson. This can also be purchased as a gift for someone else.
Walk away from every green with a smile on your face
On putts over 20 feet, regular golfers don’t strike the putter face at a consistent spot. Some strikes will be towards the toe and some will be nearer the heel. Many golfers overestimate how often they middle it. Here’s a quick and easy way to see for yourself.
Knowing you can comfortably handle long putts takes the pressure off needing to land your ball close to the flag on approach. When you’re able to consistently two-putt from distance, your golf experience is transformed.
The face angle of your putter at contact has between 80 and 95% influence on the launch direction of your putt. That means a tiny error could cause you to slip by the hole, even with great tempo.
Great to see Arden Tulip reduce her handicap from 54 - 45.7 in just 1 month!!

There's nothing quite like golf in the springtime, especially after the winter we've just had. So come spend some time with us this May. Soak up the sun, meet some awesome new people and most importantly, get that unmatched satisfaction from improving your golf.
A survey conducted at several golf clubs, revealed that less than 2% of golfers between a 20 and 5 handicap intended to have any coaching in the next 12 months. The attitudes to better golf were also interesting, especially across the age groups. We wonder what the view is at our facility?
We can all agree that golf is always more enjoyable when you're scoring well and challenging your handicap. Since the resumption of golf, this has been the case for 9 handicapper and my student, Hutch.
Sessions based on both short game and driving have helped produce various scores in the 70's since dusting off his clubs after lockdown. He's looking forward to produce the same scoring as competition golf resumes, and get that handicap down!
To benefit in the same way as Hutch, use our weekly clinic and practice club to get the all-important tips to help you thrive on the course!

Yes, the statistics on the major tours now tell us that those with the longest tee shots are making a great living, but you’re not trying to make a living from the game. Most of you are looking for a great social experience and a good or better golfing experience.
We've been having an absolute blast being back out doing what we all love. This photo was taken from our Wednesday Learn to Play group where we introduced these awesome people to the game of golf this week.
As you can see they had a great time, they wore whatever they wanted and we are happy to supply any equipment should you not have any! If you or anyone you know would like to get into the game and have fun like this group did, we have 2 spots open in our Learn to Play programme starting this Saturday! Click on the link below to find out more.
We have had a year that has reminded us of how important the outdoors, space, and our health is. If you play golf, then you should consider yourself to be a very lucky person. Spread that love to people you care about.
“You drive for show, but putt for dough” was a saying that used to have some relevance to tour professionals and the highly competitive. It’s a lot less relevant to them now (as proven by the big-hitters at the top of the money list) but was it ever relevant to the regular golfer?
During the 3 hour long session we will be going over the fundamentals of the great game, we will also be working through each area of the game from driving the ball to putting.
This event is perfect for existing golfers looking to brush up on their skills ahead of a busy summer or a beginner looking to try every aspect of golf.
Event date & Time Saturday 10th April 4pm - 7 pm
Cost - £75 per person, this includes all range balls
To book your space please email, txt or call me asap on the details below, sam@southwinchestergolfacademy.co.uk - 07928768022
I hope to see you this Saturday!
Kind Regards Sam Holloway Golf Development Professional
“You drive for show, but putt for dough”. Do you though? Bryson DeChambeau (1st on the Fedex cup ranking) is only 38th on the list of strokes gained on the green, but is 1st for the equivalent stat off the tee. And did you know Viktor Hovland (4th on the Fedex list) is 90th on his putting stat but 5th in strokes gained off the tee?
Everything you need to get started on an amazing journey
We can't wait to see you all soon! We still have a few spots available in our Learn to Play Programmes coming up in April. There's no dress code and we can supply all the equipment you need to get started on your very own golfing journey!
With less than a week to go till golf is back, be sure to make your child's Easter break that much more fulfilling. Having fun outdoors, learning new skills that will stick with them for a lifetime, and making some new friends; now doesn't that sound exciting?
We are so excited to see you all again at the place we love the most, at the golf club!
Thanks so much to all of you who've booked in for checkups and lessons to make sure you get off to the best start possible after lockdown. With only a week to go and the diary filling up, we'd love to see as many of you as possible, as soon as possible. So if you haven't yet, be sure to book your spot in a one-on-one lesson, holiday camp, or improvement programme by clicking the link below.
Have a great week and see you all at the club soon!
Golf can be an intimidating sport to get into. This week Sam and Richard describe the 3 step process that we go through at South Winchester to make sure you can make the transition from the Learn to Play programme to the course as fun as comfortable as possible.
Getting a grip on the basics of the game from an early age sets you up for life. These basics will stay with you, even if you do take a break from the game.
According to recent reports from some of the biggest names in golf research such as Golf Datatech and the NGF, more and more people are turning to golf.
The only thing more exciting than being able to play golf again
Thanks so much to all those of you who have already signed your kids up for the Junior Easter Camps. Spots are filling up fast, so to make sure your child has an unbelievable time learning this great game next month, be sure to book their spots ASAP!
We can't believe it's March already! Although we might not be able to just yet this shouldn't stop us from getting excited about getting back out on the course. With the year speeding on, our Junior Easter Camps are just around the corner now.
Children today have so many ways NOT to go outside. Whether it’s TVs, PCs, tablets or smartphones; a digital world of instant streaming and gaming options is there to keep them indoors.
We're still waiting on the All Party Parliamentary Golf Group to confirm regulations for the return to golf but we can be confident in 1-1 coaching being allowed and our Junior Camps going ahead in the Easter holidays!
Our lesson diaries are open, and we've had lots of enquiries already. Please get in touch ASAP to book your lessons for the first few weeks as spots are filling up fast!
Enjoy your first round of golf back by preparing with a lesson from your PGA Professional.
See you all soon!

Family time on the fairways, what's better than that?
Children develop better when their family environment is supportive and positive. Golf gives families an opportunity like few other sports to spend several hours together. This gives you the time and space to provide your child with positive feedback.
Golf brings together a wide variety of people from all walks of life. For children playing golf, this diversity helps to broaden their worldview and gives them the opportunity to form new friendships.
Firstly, both Sam and I would like to hope everybody is well and managing to stay safe during this tricky time. As always, if anybody has any questions or would simply just like a chat, please don't hesitate to get in touch with either of us. We'd love to hear from you!
We are still keeping busy and regularly communicating to see what ideas we can come up with prior to the hopeful resumption of golf soon!
As mentioned recently, swing speed training is something that we are both interested in introducing to our coaching plans this year. Having completed a Level 1 Certification in SuperSpeed training, we have a good understanding on the process and how to best deliver this type of coaching.
Our previous post included a poll to see the general consensus on the interest for swing speed coaching, from which the response was overwhelmingly positive. To follow this up, we would like anybody who voted, or anybody who would be interested in simply hearing more about speed training, to click the link below and fill out the contact form.
We hope you enjoy, and we'll look forward to hearing from you all soon!

Golf etiquette and values foster behaviours and skills that will help your child deal with life more effectively. The golf course can be seen as a safe and fun testing ground for real-world challenges.
Stay healthy, stay safe, and most importantly, stay active!
It’s possible to improve your golf game from home. Exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle, and certain exercises are particularly good for your swing.
Firstly, Sam and I would like to hope that everyone is staying safe and occupied during these tough times. As always, if anybody has any questions, or simply wants a chat, please don't hesitate to get in touch with either of us!
We'd like to let you know that we are staying busy and can't wait to be back at the golf club!
One of the topics keeping us busy during this lockdown, is completing a Level 1 certification in SuperSpeed training. We feel that this is a corridor that has not yet been explored by our golf club, and are keen to see the potential interest in this type of coaching.
The link below is to a poll. Please let us know if SuperSpeed training is something that you would be interested in exploring in your golf game. After all, how good does it feel to out-drive your playing partners during your rounds?
Thank you for your input in advance, we'll look forward to seeing everybody soon!

Whether you’ve just started playing golf, or have lost count of how many years you’ve been playing, there’s always room for improvement. Think back on the past nine months of golf. What part of your game would give you the biggest thrill if you improved it?
If you’re scoring in the 90s or 100s, the question isn’t “can you go lower?” but “how low can you go?” And more importantly, “how much more fun can the game be?”
Some tee boxes are scary. That’s down to course design, something you can’t control. But with an understanding of your dispersion patterns, you can adjust your aim to minimise risk. That frees you up to approach a daunting hole with more confidence.
... they have all nearly completed our Learn to Play Golf programme!
I'm sure we can all relate to the ups and downs that playing golf throws our way, and the perseverance needed to get to the point of being confident on the course should be commended.
The Learn to Play Golf programme is a bit different to a normal lessons in that we encourage our learners to play and make mistakes and not to be embarrassed about it... It's the only way to learn and gain confidence.
Our next Learn to Play Golf programme starts on Saturday 19th September from 3pm-4pm each week and will run for 10 weeks. Group size is limited to 5 to ensure social distancing measures are adhered to.
The cost is just £175 for the 10 weeks and we guarantee you'll enjoy the process of learning in a small group, making mistakes and playing golf!

Only golf test robots hit it dead straight every time
Stay in play - an easy way to improve your aim
Only golf test robots hit it dead straight every time. Yet many golfers begin every hole trying to do just that. This leads to dropped shots, higher scores and less fun. Dispersion patterns are easy to determine and once you understand them, you’ll know where to aim to minimise your risk of landing in hazards or out of bounds.
