Greetings from Paul Mitchell Golf Academy
Bristol & Clifton Golf Club - PGA Golf Professional
 

Welcome to this week's Paul Mitchell Golf Academy newsletter! It's me again (Caren) ready to fill you in on this week's news.

Paul's Playing Again

Paul played at Saunton last week, in the PGA West Region Saunton Classic. The weather was somewhat questionable, with pouring rain on Tuesday, and Paul shot a disappointing 79. On a bright and sunny Wednesday, the second day of the competition, Paul found some form and posted a decent 71 on the East course. Paul's playing schedule now takes him to Hadley Wood golf club in Hertfordshire, where he will compete in the Foremost National Professional Championships on Thursday 1st May. We wish him the best of luck in his quest for victory. It's interesting to see the coach playing rather than coaching, and yes he does get nervous!

Whilst in Saunton, I had the chance to visit some great places and I would thoroughly recommend North Devon for a mini break with the kids. Cam loved playing on Saunton beach, and what a fantastic view from Saunton Sands Hotel. Squires chip shop in Braunton does the best fish and chips and Croyde bay is a great walk. Sorry if I sound like the local tourist office but it is always nice to share good experiences!

So onwards to B&C news!

The Wednesday Medal on 16th April was won by Clive Pulteney with a net 68. Martin Reed was in second place with a net 71, and the winner of the Wednesday medal on 23rd was Tony Mann with a net 71. Great job guys.

The Ladies' Stableford & EWGA Trust on Tuesday 22nd April last week was won by Veronica Shorttle with 38 points, with Jenny Ratcliffe in second place on 37 points, good job Ladies.

The Ladies Weekend Stableford on 19th April was won by Angela Holland, well done Angela.

The College Masters Trophy took place on Sunday, the victor being Mark Incledon, with a nett 72, second place being filled by our Junior Captain James Robinson with net 73. Many congratulations.

Sunday 27th April also saw a hole in one on the 7th in a knockout! Ian James (pictured right), we salute you!

In order to cater for any golfers needs in the Pro Shop, we offer you the click and collect service. This means that if you want to purchase a product that we don't stock, we can get that delivered to us in the Pro Shop for FREE. The Prices are all competitive compared to high street retailers, so make sure you come and see us to find out more. Click here to go through to our Click and Collect site.

Don't forget the May Medal is on Saturday 3rd May, online start sheet tee times bookable, and as the sheet fills so quickly I would recommend early booking.

I would also like to remind all juniors that this Sunday 4th May is my Caren Mitchell Trophy. Please come and compete to win my trophy... it's glittery and it's cute and handpicked by moi! Come on lads and lasses, we need you. I would love a nice big photo of the winner with my trophy in the driving range display cabinet, so I am counting on you guys to come and support the junior section by competing in this 18 hole competition.

The next Ladies' fixture is the Ladies' Medal 4 on 6th May, booking online. Hope you lovely ladies enjoy some sunshine.

There is a 9 hole roll up and curry supper for all members on Wednesday 7th May at 6pm so this is definitely worth coming along to. It's good to play with others and meet new people, so I urge you to participate in one of the organised roll ups. The dates are in the diary section of the Bristol & Clifton Golf Club website.

On 10th May we also play the Fry and Steinburg Cups, no booking necessary so just come into the shop to register.

This week I asked my academy team to write an article for you all, so Andy and Luke took up my challenge and this week we feature Andy's warm up exercises, to get you ready for playing. Next week Luke's turn will cover his fully subscribed Seniors' Group Coaching Session.

Over to Andy McG!

Hi everyone

As the season is well under way I thought I'd share with you a few ways that you can better prepare before that all important medal or weekly Stableford. As the famous mantra goes, "fail to prepare, prepare to fail!"

This week I'll be sharing one of my favourite warm up exercises that is great if you're pushed for time before heading to the 1st tee. The ladies from my groups will be familiar with this one, and I'm sure they'll tell you how it can benefit you.

Just click on the video's below for a demonstration on how to perform the lunge with a twist correctly.

Lunge with a twist

   

When performing the lunge, make sure your front knee remains over your front ankle, and keep your torso upright to keep your weight centred. Rotate left and right keeping your lower body stable and facing forward. Feel like you're creating some separation between your upper and lower body, something that is vital in order to create power in the golf swing.

Thanks Andy. I remember doing these in your Ladies golf fitness group and feeling rather warmed up after them! It is always a pleasure to read informed articles by my staff. What a great team I have, thanks guys for being my right hand men.

Our very own Kristian will soon be competing in first team matches, as he is still currently an amateur until his induction in September into the PGA training programme. He is used to brutal conditions at Saunton, so I will be interested to watch his progress and I am sure he will produce some great results for B&C.

Make your GPS do the work

Today's distance measuring devices are accurate to within a yard, giving you precise yardages to the flag. But that's only of any use to you if you know how far you hit each iron. Follow these guidelines to achieve just that.
