Review – Ganton Golf Club

 

Course: Ganton Golf Club

Website: www.gantongolfclub.com

Location: Yorkshire, United Kingdom

Price ($-$$$): $$

Par: 71/72 (Championship), 73 (Medal), 72 (Club), 76 (Ladies)

Length: 6014, 6445, 6739, and 6998 yards

Rating: 90/100

What do the Ryder Cup, Brabazon Trophy, English Amateur, British Amateur, English Ladies Amateur, British Ladies Amateur, Curtis Cup, and Walker Cup all have in common? Answer: they have all been played at Ganton Golf Club in North Yorkshire. There are many reasons why Ganton has such as esteemed honors board: versatility, excellent course conditions, and clever layout to name three. Each of these three elements contribute to Ganton Golf Club being one of the finest championship venues in Europe, if not the world.

Let’s start with Ganton’s versatility. The golf course can be played from four different sets of tees and at five different course pars. For the ladies, the course spans 6014 yards at a par 76. This is an unusually high par for a 6000-yard golf course, but the layout forces many players to stick the higher par hole routes. For the men, you can play anywhere from 6445 to 6998 yards. The par for men plays at either 73, 72, or 71. This allows Ganton GC to cater for a wide range of ability and weather conditions. For example, if the course is very wet or windy, the 17^th hole may be pushed back to a 250-yard par 4. However, if the course is bouncing and you have a very strong tournament field then the 17^th hole can measure as a 250-yard par 3.

 

Hole 6- Another narrow tee shot, with out of bounds right and gorse bushes left.

The second strong suit of Ganton Golf Club is its year-round course condition. It appears, no matter when you visit, Ganton is ALWAYS in excellent shape. The greens run true and fast, the tees are manicured to perfection, and the bunkers line every hole beautifully. Yes, you read that correctly, there are bunkers lining every hole. In fact, in a 2015 renovation, Ganton worked on 113 newly shaped bunkers.

Finally, you have Ganton’s clever layout. There are holes on this golf course that you simply must take your medicine and try to escape with par. One of these holes is the 446-yard 16^th hole. The 16^th hole is extremely tight, with out of bounds right and gorse bushes left. This hole also features a huge bunker that covers the entire width of the fairway in front of the tee. There are a few birdie chances at Ganton, such as the short par-4 17^th hole. This hole is very reachable, at just over 250 yards, but only if you can avoid the huge pot bunkers that surround the green.

Hole 16 features a bunker that covers the entire fairway width!

All-in-all, Ganton provides the perfect location for a weekend getaway or for an international championship. Its versatility makes it enjoyable for all standard of golfer and its year-round excellent condition gives you a fantastic place to play in any season. Ranked by Golf World as one of the World’s Top 100 Golf Courses, this is definitely a must-play course.

What Srixon Say

“The Srixon Z 765 Irons have made Srixon’s best iron performance even better. The Z 765 is a muscle cavity preferred by skilled players for its traditional profile and exceptional control.” (Srixon.com)

Look

Make no mistake about it, these irons are a player iron. They are a sleek, forged iron that feature a small muscle cavity for a slight forgiveness increase. However, they are not scary to look down on. The muscle cavity boosts confidence and the change of color within that muscle cavity gives the impression of more forgiveness.

The muscle cavity gives forgiveness and a boost of confidence.

The Srixon Z765 irons have a classic, sleek, top line.

Feel

It is a well-known fact that Mizuno make fantastic feeling irons. Their motto tells us all, “Nothing feels like a Mizuno.” Well, this is as close as you will come to that Mizuno feeling and for a lesser price (ignoring companies such as PXG and Miura). They feel soft off the head, but give a powerful, penetrating flight.

In particular, the new Project X LZ shafts seem to really suit this head. They do come as standard with Dynamic Gold or Nippon Modus 3, but I suggest giving them a hit with the Project X LZ option. Srixon’s product catalogue suggests that most shaft options come at no upcharge.

Performance

Distance wise, you will likely see an increase in distance over other player irons. This is partly down to the expertly shaped muscle cavity, but you must also consider the lofts of these irons. When looking at a comparable player iron (Mizuno JPX 900 Tour), you’ll notice that the Srixon Z765 irons run at approximately 2 degrees strong. The same can be said when comparing the Srixon to the Titleist CB and TaylorMade PSI Tour.

Though the Srixon Z765 irons see stronger lofts than comparable irons, they produce a fantastic ball flight.

The flight produced with the Z765 was fantastic. When hit with the Project X LZ 6.0 shafts, the flight was high and strong with the longer irons but controlled and flighted with the shorter irons. The Nippon Modus 3 produced slightly more spin and a higher ball flights. What was interesting about the Nippon-Srixon combination was the way the ball climbed early and then carried at a ‘flat’ ball flight.

6 Drills That WILL Improve Your Putting

As we know, putting is arguably the most important aspect of the game. Your putter is your most used club and yet it is neglected in practice by most. Your average golfer will easily dedicate 30 minutes to an hour of practice on the range, without so much as looking at their putter. And while there is an argument for putting being ‘pure feel’, there are some simple things you can do to improve your technique. So, here you go – six easy drills that WILL improve your putting and lower your scores:

Face Gate

Many players struggle getting the putter head back to impact on a straight path and with a square face angle. This two-tee drill can help a little with both of those. You want to start this drill at 5 feet, hole 10 in-a-row, then move back at 2-feet increments.

The face gate can help with face angle and putter path.

To set this drill up, you will set the putter face to your target and stick a tee 1cm outside both the toe and heel. As you start to improve, you can begin to move the tees closer to the toe and heel of the putter (making the gate narrower).

Hole Gate

This drill helps you focus your attention when practicing your putting. Rather than just holing putts from various distances, having this hole gate set up will force you to hit the center of the hole. Following the principle of “aim small, miss small”, the hole will look huge when you move the tees away.

As you improve, you can make the gate smaller.

This drill is simple to set up – make a gate in front of the center of the hole that is approximately 1cm wider each side of a golf ball. Try to hole 10 in a row, starting at 5 feet, then begin to move back in 2-feet increments.

Hammer Time

From 10 feet and in, you should try to be confident in your ability to hole out. This drill will help you with your pace and intentions from that 10-feet range and closer. To start, push a tee into the back of the hole (sorry green-keepers) and have it stick out approximately 1/3 of the hole depth at a slight upward angle. Please only use this drill on the practice green – do not try on the course! From here, your objective is to hit putts at the back of the hole as to hammer the tee in. You do not need to hit the putts crazy hard, just enough to make solid contact with the tee.

Try to make solid contact with the tee in the back of the hole.

1-Foot Pace

Is there anything worse than leaving a putt short? Well, what might be worse is your playing partner saying, “would have gone in, if you’d hit it” or “never up, never in”. Either way, you don’t want this to happen.

Practice from 5 feet and outward using a tee 1 foot behind the hole. The objective is simple: if you miss the putt, your aim is to have it finish between the hole and the tee behind it. Anything within that 1-foot range means you have given the putt a chance of going in AND you have an easy return.

On-The-Up Drill

To hit a good putt with the most effective forward roll, you need to strike the ball slightly on the up. This promotes top spin and allows the ball to begin rolling, rather than skidding and spinning.

Tee the ball as if you were hitting a short par-3 tee shot. This helps you stroke on-the-up.

A drill to help you achieve a neutral or upward angle of attack on your putts is the “on-the-up drill”. To set this drill up, push a tee fully into the ground. You only want the head of the tee above the surface (so there is about 3-5mm of tee showing). From here, hit some 5-foot putts off the tee. Hitting the putts off this low tee height will force your stroke to work on-the-up.

Blue-Tac Drill

Finally, a good drill to help your alignment and putter path! This drill is very easy to set up and gives a great indication of your alignment and putter path. Stick a blob of blue-tac on the toe and heel of the putter face (on the extremities). Then, push a tee onto each blob creating right angles with the face. Use these tees to help with your alignment, and hit some short putts (5 feet and in).

Give some of these drills a try, they will improve your putting. You may have noticed the unique putter and ball combination, in some of the images – stay tuned for some equipment reviews! Please follow my Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook pages for more articles and info.

 

 

 

 

How To: Hit a Low-Bullet Driver

Many players around the world find themselves stumped, when faced with a windy day at the golf course. Those high-flying drives that carry a great distance end up being weak and ineffective in windy conditions. To help you keep the ball down in the wind and allow for maximum roll, here are three tips to hitting a low-bullet driver.

Tee the Ball Down

This may seem obvious, but teeing the ball down can begin to lower your driver ball flight. Many of today’s drivers see the main sweet spot toward the top of the clubface. This means they perform better when struck slightly higher off the face, so naturally golfers tee their drivers high. Normally, you would like to see ¼ or ½ of the ball above the top line of the head.

Begin by teeing the ball lower – the top of the ball should sit close to flush with the top of the face. (Photo cred: golfalot.com)

To hit a lower ball, you want to lower your tee height so that the top of the ball sits almost flush to the top line of the driver. Be careful, when teeing the ball down with your driver, that you do not ‘go searching’ for the ball with a steep descending angle of attack. You want to maintain a shallow angle of attack through impact and create a sweeping motion (this will keep the spin rate down and stop the ball from rising in the wind).

Shift Your Center of Gravity

A second tip to hitting a bullet driver is to slightly shift your center of gravity forward. Normally when hitting driver, you want to keep your weight behind the ball at address and impact. To do this, golfers lean on their right side. This allows the player to hit the driver ‘on the up’ and launch it high with low spin.

To keep the ball down, you want a more even weight distribution at address. Here lies the problem – most golfers when asked to hit a low drive will simply push the ball way back in their stance. Moving the ball far back in your stance will create too much of a descending attack angle and high-spinning drive. So, to counteract this, you want to maintain a good ball position (inside your left heel) and then move your right foot slightly closer to your left. Simply put, you are narrowing your stance whilst keeping the same ball position.

MeAndMyGolf suggest a narrow stance when attempting to draw the ball. This same principle can be applied, however, to hitting a lower drive. (Photo cred: MeAndMyGolf)

From this position, you have a more even weight distribution whilst maintaining a good ball position. This will begin to lower your driver ball flight.

Grip Down the Club

One final tip to hitting a lower drive is to grip down the club. When gripping the driver, move 1-2 inches further down the grip and keep the same stance distance from the ball. What this does is pull the driver head further up the ball and allows the golfer to, not only strike the ball at a shallow angle but also, strike the ball lower on the face.

 

Each of these tips can be used individually or combined together, to produce lower drives. Have a go at your local driving range and you will begin to see those low-bullet drives. As always, please follow on Twitter @golfwithpark, Instagram @golfwithpark, and Facebook GolfWithPark

Review – TPC Sawgrass (Stadium Course)

Hole 17 at TPC Sawgrass – Home of The Players Championship (PGA Tour)

Course: TPC Sawgrass (Stadium Course)

Website: www.tpc.com/sawgrass/

Location: Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida

Price ($-$$$): $$$

Par: 72

Length: 5019, 6086, 6406, 6670, and 7245 yards

Rating: 97/100

 

Home of The Players Championship for the PGA Tour, TPC Sawgrass is truly one of the world’s greatest golf courses. Having played the Stadium course in 2010, I still rate this as the best course I have ever played. Its manicured tees, fairways, and greens provide you with the opportunity to play a course worthy of PGA Tour players.

Many of you will no doubt recognize some of the holes out there, either through watching on television or playing golf video games. The opening hole is a fantastic par-4 which doglegs slightly to the right, before straightening up. What you cannot fully appreciate from seeing the course on a screen are the tight fairways and the undulating greens. TPC Sawgrass is not usually renowned for having undulating greens, but they really are! The greens are deep, wide, and often feature a few different levels.

Aside from the undulating greens, the other major challenge at TPC Sawgrass is getting the ball on the fairway. Holes such as the second (image below) feature tree-lined fairways that force you to hit the ball on the target line and hit the correct shot shape. The overhanging trees that line the sides of these tee shots create a tunnel feeling and demand great accuracy.

The second tee shot, at TPC Sawgrass – Stadium, requires a slight draw around the corner. Following a good tee shot, this green can be reached in two.

The real attraction with TPC Sawgrass are, of course, the final three holes. 16, 17, and 18 provide great drama every year in The Players Championship, and they will for you too. The par-5 16^th hole is a definite birdie chance. The tee shot requires a draw around the corner and a brave second shot to a water-surrounded green. Those choosing to layup also need to be precise with their yardage and target area; the fairway narrows up to approximately 10 yards wide, before the green.

Moving on to the 17^th and quite simply the greatest par-3 in the world. The iconic island green gives you goosebumps and sweaty palms, as you approach the hole. It really should be simple, hit your yardage from 92-137 yards. But, as we all know, it is not that easy.

The final hole sums up TPC Sawgrass; tough tee shot, tough approach shot, tricky green, but enjoyable all the same. On the tee shot, you must be brave and trust your target line over the water. From there, the water looms to the left of the green and green encroaches up the right-hand side. Do your best to hit this green – nobody wants to be chipping back toward the water!

In summary, if you get the chance, you simply have to play this golf course. There is nowhere in the world quite like it. For family members that are not interested in golf, the accompanying hotel has a fantastic pool and bar area close by.

PROS:

Iconic PGA Tour venue

Manicured golf course, from tee-to-green

Great range of tees to cater for all skill levels

Hole 17

CONS:

Expensive to play, stay, and eat

Drivers of Days Gone By – The Best Drivers from 2000-2010

Timeless classics, there are some old faithful drivers that will just never be sold. No matter what, they’ll stay in that spare bag in the garage. They hold some of your best memories and you know that they can step up into the golf bag at a time of need (or when you snap your newest one). These are some of the best drivers from days gone by.

TaylorMade R7 SuperQuad

Price today: $60-$80 approx.

£50-£70 approx.

TaylorMade’s first venture into a 460 CC, four-port movable weight technology driver. This pioneer driver had four weight ports, and featured a unique black finish that made it the beloved of many golfers. The upgrade from 420 CC of the R7 Quad to the 460 CC of the R7 SuperQuad also made a huge difference in the distance and consistency of this driver.

Released in 2007, the SuperQuad was well ahead of its time, and much of that 2007 technology is still used today. MyGolfSpy recently did a comparison between the 2016 M1 and the 2007 SuperQuad. They found that, as expected, the M1 was on average 10-15 yards longer than the SuperQuad. However, the SuperQuad was much more consistent off the tee and produced a tighter dispersion than its newer counterpart.

Titleist 905 R/T/S

Price today: $40-$65 approx.

£35-£50 approx.

Late 2005 saw the arrival of the Titleist 905 driver series. The 905R, 905T, and 905S each featured a different head shape to fit the needs of different golfers. Each had a classic looking head, with fantastic stock shafts (AD YS6, Proforce V2, Aldila NV) and the ability to send the ball LONG.

The differences between each were enough to fit the heads to the different needs of golfers. The 905S featured a deep face, with a slightly smaller front-to-back profile. This gave the head the most workability and became known as ‘the players club’. The 905T came with a larger front-to-back profile for longer distance and more forgiveness off the tee, whereas the 905R boasted a combination of the S and T features. Whichever driver you had in the bag, you knew you had a simple and effective club that would get your round going.

Callaway Hawkeye VFT

Price today: $20-$40 approx.

£15-£35 approx.

The old boy of the group, dating back to October of 2000. The Callaway Hawkeye VFT driver pushed the boundaries of what was technologically possible of drivers in the year 2000. Callaway had to jump through so many of the USGA and R&A hoops, before releasing this innovative driver to the market.

The VFT stood for Variable Face Thickness. In simple terms, the face was constructed to give maximum distance and forgiveness on off-center hits. It worked: the VFT racked up a number of tour wins before its initial release and went on to be the hot club on the market for the years 2000-2001. Many of you will know the distances the VFT could achieve, and I’m sure a lot of you have some ‘par-4 in one’ stories to tell.

Ping G10

Price today: $40-$75 approx.

£30-£65 approx.

Here it is, Westwood’s weapon of choice even as late as 2014. That’s right, in 2014 Lee Westwood swapped back to his trusty Ping G10 driver for a couple of weeks. Up until 2012, Westwood was using the Ping G10 as his first-choice driver

week-in week-out. That’s saying something, when a Ping staff player rejects the companies four latest models for his trusty old stick.

The reason Westwood stuck to the 2007-release G10 driver is because it was awesome. The 460 CC head gave length, consistency, and confidence to those that played it. With its signature Ping TFC shaft, it was easy to use and relatively cheap when released. AND, who can forget the crescent-shaped alignment design on the top?

King Cobra SZ

Price today: $20-$30 approx.

£15-£25 approx.

Loudest driver ever. If your friend had this driver, and you were out on the course on a Saturday afternoon, you knew which hole they were playing. The King Cobra drivers of the early 2000s were notoriously loud and outrageously long. Cobra’s biggest claim with the SZ drivers was the new nine hot spots on the face. The manufacturers essentially said that the club had nine sweet spots. Hence the SZ (sweet zone), as opposed to the SS (sweet spot) of previous models.

These drivers came to the market in 2004. And, who can forget those awesome adverts with David Feherty … “nice ball” *keep walking*.

Bomb Your Drives: Four Tips for Longer Tee Shots

300 yards, straight down-the-middle. For most, this comes around midnight with eyes firmly shut and an accompanying ensemble of snoring. However, there are some easy drills/improvements you can do to increase the distance of your average drive. Below, I outline four things the average golfer can do to increase their overall driving distance.

Get Fit for a Driver

This may seem pretty obvious, but many amateur golfers still pick a driver straight off the rack. For most, this isn’t the best setup for your game. And for those still using a driver made in the mid-2000s, it’s time to move on!

Driver technology today is phenomenal, and can really help to add distance and accuracy to your drives. Whether it be through the correct shaft weight, shaft stiffness, or head setup, getting fit for a driver is a must for anyone looking to increase distance.

Widen Your Arc

Having a wider arc gives the golfer greater leverage and rotational power throughout the swing. To do this, feel as though your right arm is extending through the backswing and, on the downswing, feel as though you are keeping the clubface away from the ball as long as possible. This gives a sweeping, shallow angle of attack. Providing you have the correct spin rates from your driver setup, this WILL increase your driving distance.

Improve Your Strike Pattern

Many people believe that increasing your swing speed will result in longer drives. And, although this has some truth to it, there is more to it than that. Increasing your swing speed will only result in longer drives IF you maintain/improve your strike pattern. For most amateur golfers, a smoother tempo with a stronger strike will result in a longer drive than just a faster swing.

To improve your ball striking, first you need to practice more. As simple as it sounds, there’s a reason why the best ball strikers in the world are the ones that practice 7 days a week. Second, use some strike stickers/tape on your clubs. By applying impact tape to your irons and drivers when practicing, you can begin to hone in on the middle of the club face and recognize the difference between a good and bad strike.

Impact tape is a cheap and effective way to monitor your strike patterns with both woods and irons.

Tee it Higher

The key to longer drives is a mid-high launch, with low spin. This will result in maximum hang time and roll. To do this, first you must have the correct driver setup for your swing (shaft, head, loft, face angle). Once you have this, studies have shown that golfers who tee the ball high hit it, on average, further than those with a mid or low tee height. This is because teeing the ball high promotes sweeping up on the golf ball through impact.

While current research is divided between whether the optimum drive should be hit with a descending or ascending angle of attack, for amateur golfers it is much easier to control an ascending angle of attack (hitting the golf ball on the up). So, tee it high and watch it fly!

Review – Royal Birkdale Golf Club

Course: Royal Birkdale Golf Club

Website: http://www.royalbirkdale.com

Location: Southport, United Kingdom

Price ($-$$$): $$$

Par: 72 (men), 75 (ladies)

Length: 5793, 6381, or 6817 yards

Rating: 94/100

Home to the upcoming 2017 Open Championship, this links course will definitely give you that Championship experience. Sitting in the north-west of England, Royal Birkdale Golf Club lays on the coast and is a perfect example of classic English golf. Despite being less than 7000 yards, this course should not be taken lightly: pot bunkers and deep rough await any stray drive or approach shot.

On entrance to Royal Birkdale Golf Club, the symbolic white clubhouse stands out among the rolling links terrain (above image). Within the clubhouse, you can find photographs, flags, and scorecards paying homage to the great Open champions of the past. As well as a beautiful clubhouse, the pro shop is well stocked with the latest equipment and clothing.

In terms of the golf course, it goes without saying that Birkdale is special. Starting with a dogleg left par-4, and ending with a duo of par-5s, there are birdies to be made. However, holes such as the infamous par-3 12^th should be tackled cautiously (below image). Stretching just over 180 yards, the challenging par-3 sits on the coastline and is surrounded by mounds of deep rough – hitting the green is a must!

Hole #12 is one of the most challenging par 3s on The Open circuit. Don’t go long, left, right, or short!

PROS:

Great history

Well maintained course

Challenging but provides opportunities

Major championship course

CONS:

Expensive

Driving range sits far away from clubhouse/1^st tee
