After a rather slow start to the year. I have decided to take some time off competitive golf for a few weeks to work on improving my swing and short game. With my results not up to my standards to begin the year , I took a good hard look and assessed my total game and where I needed to improve,Under the guidance of my coach at Hope Island Kevin Healy.  My stats indicated that my short game(under 100mts) needed some attention. My long game was not getting me in too much trouble but my scoring clubs (wedges-chipping-putting) were not doing what they should be doing if I was to be contending week in week out.

All of my best results and wins have come from having an excellent short game. Holing more putts and getting the ball up and down almost all of the time no matter were I missed the green, because lets face it not even the worlds best golfers hit 18 greens a round in regulation, so we all miss greens,but if you can get the ball up and down more often than not you will find yourself up near the top of the leaderboard more often.

Short game green here I come..
