The name's Hatton, Tyrell Hatton!
I enjoyed watching the European Tour event from Abu Dhabi last week. The winner, Tyrell Hatton, blew the field away, including former World #1, Rory McIlroy. Hatton is now the World #5 ranked player – what an incredible last 18 months he has had!
This week, the Tour is in Dubai for the Omega Desert Classic, and I see South African, Justin Harding, is and an early leader in round one. So, make sure to watch.
Conquer the course with more
confidence in 2021
The difference between some of these top players, is simply confidence.
I always liked the idea that confidence came from evidence. This evidence starts with ball striking on the Range and Practice Tee, and the moves over to your performance on the course. If you need a little extra help try finding a copy of the this book.
A little extra reading!
On the book front, I still have some copies of Out of the Rough, Papwa a Player Denied, by Selvan Naidoo. It can be bought at the Ball Kiosk at the Range, for only R300.
Learning online

Junior Golf –
Giving your child a head start in life Let’s all have a great year of golf and let’s achieve those goals. I started coaching last week so if you are looking for a lesson please contact me.
Please have a look at the posters below for more information on what’s happening.
| | | | | | | | | | This time it’s the same head | | | Previously we’ve talked about 4 different driver models with identical lofts, creating very different launch angles (and spin rates) because their CoG locations in the head were different.
We’ve also talked about finding the right launch and spin for your tee shots, making 20 and more metres difference to your tee shots. | | | | Well, the same driver head – and therefore identical CoG location - with two different shafts can create a significantly different launch angle and spin rate. | | |  | | |  | | “We want you to get the best results possible off the tee. Distance is one of the outcomes we’re after. That requires us finding the shaft and head to create the right launch and spin rate”. | | | | Get your DNA measured | | There’s a driver DNA – ball speed, launch angle, & spin rate. We need to match those when fitting you for a driver. How close is your match? Do you have 20 metres or more of extra performance in the right DNA? Come and see us. Let’s unlock your potential to thrill. | | Contact us > |
| | | | | | | | | | A game for all
Competition doesn’t matter | | | | Particularly when you’re starting out in golf, the most important thing is that you enjoy yourself. | | |  | | | Bend some rules
Certain rules are unavoidable, like teeing off from the tee box and repairing your divots. But if you don’t want to play from the rough or bunker or over water, drop a ball in the fairway. If you want to tee it up on the fairway, do it. Do anything to make your experience more enjoyable. | | | | Simplify things | | Take a sleeve of golf balls, a short iron, and your putter and play 18 holes of approach shots. Use the walk between the tee box and approach to simply enjoy being outdoors. Better yet, bring a friend along. | | Book a round > |
