Find the fairway every time

Now doesn't that sound nice! Prior to the Irish Open one commentator remarked: "Anyone who's not driving the ball well this week can forget about winning." How true. On some courses you may be able to get away with it but not at Royal County Down, especially when it's wet and windy.

Yes, holing putts is important and being able to drive the ball a mile will help, but isn't the game a lot easier when you're playing the game from the fairways?

Our advice is to try and not to let a narrow fairway faze you. So you commit fully to the shot, pick a spot in front of your ball that sits directly on your line. You should aim to force the head of your club over this spot after impact to ensure that you release it powerfully towards the target.

Making life easier

One great product that has become more popular are the 3 wheeled push trolleys. These trolleys are fantastic as they allow you to carry all the items you need in your bag without your body taking the strain. As we are now in thoery in Summer but it's still necessary for us to often carry wet weather gear, umbrellas, hydration, energy bars, spare balls etc. etc. All this adds to the weight. 

Our 3 wheeled trolley from MacGregor priced at £109 will not only allow you to load up your bag but also being a push trolley it takes the strain out of your back.
