Get that Stretch going! Lesson three is live now…

Mar 01

Here’s the third of our Yoga for golf lessons.  In a few minutes you can stretch, unknot those muscles and limber up in preparation for that new season looming.  This lesson concentrates on a couple of stretches to help rotation and spine flexibility – and they feel so good to do!  Remember to run through the warm up Carol showed you in lesson One to get you ready, and then dive into these poses.

Win a dozen GoKart balls

Feb 28

We have a little diversion on our blog, which we’ve called in rather understated style ‘THE BIG VOTE’. We thought maybe someone else might like to set the question this time round, so we’re putting up a dozen of our best ‘hole in one friendly’ balls for the person that suggests the question we like the most.

So, your mission is, should you choose to accept it, suggest what the next big vote is going to be. The format is a question, followed by two or more suggested answers. Best to keep the possible answers to a maximum of around four, otherwise the results get a bit woolly.

To help get you in the mood, here are some of the questions we’ve asked in the past, together with the vote results;
Q. When does the golf season start? A. First day of the US Masters (13%), A. It never ends! (87%)
Q. Links golf is the only real golf… A. True (30%), A. Rubbish (70%)
Q. Which club would you like to blend? A. Driver (27%), A. Putter (73%)
Q. What’s the hardest thing to change about your game? A. Grip (22%) , A. Alignment (28%) , A. Temperament (50%)
Q. Mixed golf? A. Oh yes! (50%) A. If I must, (20%) A. Mixed gruesomes?, You must be joking (30%)
Q. Winter golf? A. I play all year, whatever the weather (54%), A. I play all year, unless it’s nasty (42%), A. I only play when the sun has got his hat on, hip hip hip hooray (4%)

To enter, just post your suggestion in the comments below. The one we use first gets the balls.

Vousden’s view on golf, life and ‘apparel’

Feb 25

Thought for the Day
If you can’t repair your brakes, make your horn louder

Class is permanent…
For us amateur golfers there is really only one hard and fast law in golf – you never have a day when all the elements of your game are firing at the same time. If your driving is long and straight, you can’t hit an iron to save your life; if your approaches to the green are laser-like in their accuracy, you can’t buy a putt; and if you putt like God, your bunker play or chipping is embarrassing.
