Well this Saturday marks 4 years to the day since Sam and I arrived here at Mellor, and it's fair to say we've loved every minute of it...

So as a little way of saying thanks for your support over the last 4 years, we are running a special offer this weekend where you can get £50 cashback when you buy a SkyCaddie watch or Game Tracker! Drop into the pro shop over the weekend and have a chat with us about which model is best for you.

If you are in the market for a GPS device, we are also a Garmin Authorised Dealer, which means we can get our hands on pretty much any Garmin device on the market.

Benross Demo Day

On Wednesday this week we held our Benross demo day here at Mellor. It was brilliant to see so many of you down at the club trying out the latest products, and enjoying some of the games put on by the guys from Benross.

If you missed the demo day for whatever reason, don't forget that we have the full Benross fitting cart ready and waiting, so click here or drop in if you would like to arrange a fitting session before the start of the season. 


 

Is there one bad shot that cost you more than any other last season? With the prospect of clearer weather and more golf on the horizon, allow us to share a few top tips on how to cure a common problem shot - the slice. 

This shot is often caused by an 'over the top' action, in which the right shoulder starts the downswing. This throws the club outside the desired swing path on the way down, causing you to cut across the ball at impact. 

As pictured in this drill, try taking your left hand off the club and move to the top of the backswing. As you start down, your left hand should stay in place. If you have a tendency to come over the top, your left hand will move towards the target. 

   

Let your right hand release under your left and you should notice how this encourages you to remain in your posture through the impact area - essential for good ball striking. Try repeating this drill until it starts to feel natural, and then hit some shots.
