All eyes on $15 million

Things are heating up on the PGA Tour as the season-finale TOUR Championship gets underway this week.

Justin Thomas climbed to the top of the FedExCup standings (the PGA Tour's Order of Merit) over the weekend thanks to a three-shot victory at the BMW Championship. Now it’s on to East Lake where the top 30 players in the FedExCup rankings go toe-to-toe in a bid to land the meagre $15 million prize in a new format that sees players handed starting strokes based on their current rankings.

Current leader Justin Thomas will tee off on 10-under-par whilst Jason Kokrak, who sits at 30th in the rankings, starts the tournament level-par.

Back to basics

There are any number of online tutorials giving you the 'perfect advice' as to how to cure a specific problem you may have with your game. However, the key to solving most issues in sport (golf included) is to go right back to where it all began - the fundamentals.

Check your fundamentals

The way you set-up to the ball writes the script for the swing. This may be one of the more basic elements to the game but yet it is also one of the most overlooked – and that can be dangerous for your scorecard.

Jack Nicklaus once said:

"If you set up correctly, there's a good chance you'll hit a reasonable shot, even if you make a mediocre swing. If you set up to the ball poorly, you'll hit a lousy shot even if you make the greatest swing in the world”

Who are we to argue with the Golden Bear? So, if you'd like a check-up of the fundamentals, get in touch with a member of the team using the button below.

The most beautiful shot in golf

If we were to ask you this question what would you say? We think some of you would say the ‘Tiger stinger’ but a good proportion would say the pitch shot that takes a couple of bounces before stopping to a halt. It looks sensational but how on earth do you play it?

The key to making this shot is simple – your wedges. Yes, technique is key and is certainly something we can talk you through during a lesson but without the correct equipment you stand no chance.

Try PING's new Glide 3.0 wedges

If the grooves on your wedges are worn or dirty, it's time to either clean or replace them.

We love these Glide 3.0 wedges from PING, which boast Precision-Milled grooves for incredible performance.

Essentially, these patented wheel-cut grooves come with a sharper edge to increase the interaction with the ball, thus creating more friction and spin.

Mastering this shot takes practice and a little coaching, so book in with us and we will give you all the guidance you need.
