Pros news 

First of all I would just like to say how good our course is at the moment. Over the last few weeks I have played the surrounding courses and NONE of them come close to touching ours. The greens, the fairways and trees are all starting to reach their peak now, and everyone should appreciate how lucky you are to play on a course like Mellor!


Fitting day   

TaylorMade Fitting Day 

Following the success of our TaylorMade Golf fitting day with the professional Tour fitter Daniel last week, he has kindly agreed to come back to Mellor for another session to get everyone geared up for summer.

The day will be on Friday, 15 July with sessions running every half an hour from 2pm - 6pm. 

Please be aware it is a first come first serve basis and some slots have already gone. 

Daniel is able to fit anything from wedges, to drivers, whether it's distance or accuracy you're after, he is the man. Even if you just want to see how much distance you're missing out on come down!

Improving your game 

How to stripe your fairways… like Rory 

Well, that was impressive. Just when it looked like Rory McIlroy was going to get pipped to his national Open, he produced some of the best shots of his career - under pressure, too. Russell Knox was applying the heat, in fact he was leading with a few holes to play, before Rory struck with two devastating blows with his fairway woods. 

First, at the par-5 16th he struck a stunning 271-yard 3-wood to reach the green in two and set up a tap-in birdie. He saved the best for last, a laser-like 5-wood from 253 yards for a tap-in eagle. Pure class from the Ulsterman. 

Fairway woods - better strikeSo, fancy striking your woods like Rory? Here are a couple of tips to bear in mind: 

1. Posture - you need to maintain your spine angle from address all the way through impact. We often see amateurs lifting out of the shot, trying to help the ball up - this leads to a top or thin strike. 

2. Rhythm and balance - don't be drawn into swinging hard. You need to maintain your balance with your weight finishing on your front side. 

This sounds easy, but we appreciate it's a hard shot to execute. However, if you can get those fairways working, think of all those long par-4s and par-5s you'll make so much easier.
