Hello Golfers,

Light at the end of the tunnel!

So, there is definite talk in the media and from the government about getting golf going again. As we get closer to that moment I am working with the club to ensure there are systems in place to keep you, your playing partners and our staff safe on this return journey. Details will be announced as soon as they have been finalised.

Pro Shop Role

Initially, our role will be one of marshalling and checking members in to play, the shop will be open on a personal shopping basis, this means you will be able to get supplies you need via Pro Shop Staff accessing products on your behalf. We have already reorganised the shop with a one-way system for once we are allowed to open fully.

With this operation in mind, we would advise all our customers to have a bit of credit on their shop account for bits and bobs you may need so that we can operate without having to use cash. Our shop top-up offer is still in operation, so if you haven’t already done this you can still take advantage of the extra 10% and be included for this month's double your money draw.

A Chance to Win an 18 hole Playing Lesson with Mark

We are running another NHS Draw this month, 100% of all proceeds go to the NHS, £5/ticket via bank transfer or Paypal. See details below.

Online Lesson Bookings

I am changing the online booking system from ProAgenda to the Foremost own booking system, this will be accessible via my website www.markallenpro.co.uk

As you are already signed up for the newsletter you will automatically be able to access this facility once it goes live.

I will restart lessons which will be taken outside, two weeks after reopening, as we will need to get to grips with the new normal first.

It's quiz time

What can you remember from the last decade?

We hope you enjoyed last week's Silhouette Challenge; some were certainly easier than others.

The end of 2019 also marked the end of a decade, but how much can you remember - on a golfing front - from those 10 years?

Put your memory to the test with this week's quiz as we challenge you to recall some amazing feats in the world of golf. Good luck!

Weekly challenge

Much like the pitch shot that fizzes onto the green and stops dead on the second or third bounce, the flop shot always looks spectacular when you pull it off. It’s the inspiration behind this week’s challenge, so grab your highest lofted wedge and take to the garden for our Flop Shot Challenge.

The set-up

Like the images above, place a garden trug or bucket on top of a table facing away from the house with the aim of landing the ball inside. You can also play this game by putting something tall in front of you – garden fork or washing line – that you need to get the ball up-and-over.

Not confident?

Flop shots aren’t the easiest shot to play, which is why they do look great when executed to perfection. If you’d rather attempt something different, you can modify this challenge by placing your garden trug on the floor and see how many you can chip in – but it can’t bounce first!

Golf at home

Hopefully, you’re finding our Golf at Home drills useful in keeping your golf game ticking over during lockdown – maybe, even improving it?! For this week we’ve gone back to basics and have found an effective way of checking one of golf’s key fundamentals…

Alignment is key

Getting your set-up spot on is easier said than done, but getting it right more often than not will certainly help your golf game on the course.

One part that often changes over time is our alignment, which incorporates far more than just where the clubface is aiming.

How to check

Find some flooring in your house or garden that runs in straight lines. Place a ball down and set up as if you’re hitting a straight shot.

From here, check whether your feet, hips and shoulders are running parallel to each other by using the flooring as a visual cue.

Video of the Week

If you're a watcher of golf on TV then you'll be fully aware of the brilliant Wayne 'Radar' Riley. In this video from PING, we take a look at the best bits of his 'A Round with Radar' series, including cameos from Lee Westwood, Tyrrell Hatton and Miguel Angel Jimenez. Enjoy.
