Start To Learn Golf On The Driving Range

Posted on November 30, 2011 by | Comments Off on Start To Learn Golf On The Driving Range

The best place to start in terms of learning to play golf is on the driving range.

Dukes Meadows Golf offers a high-standard 50-bay floodlit range which is perfect for all standards of golfer to practice on.

All you need to do is purchase a bucket of balls from the Pro Shop (you can also rent clubs if you don’t have your own as yet) and then go and hit them out onto the range.

There are yard markers positioned right across the range so you can easily see how far you are hitting the ball. There are also handy greens and flags to aim at too – vital for learning what it’s like out on  a proper golf course.

Adult Group Golf Tuition Dates Coming Soon For 2012

Posted on November 28, 2011 by | Comments Off on Adult Group Golf Tuition Dates Coming Soon For 2012

Group Lessons are a great way for beginners and intermediate players to give golf a try and see how they like it.

Playing with up to five other golfers of a similar standard to yourself, I give six lessons across six weeks, with each lesson focused on a different aspect of the game. It’s cheaper than taking individual lessons and also enables you to build friendships within the sport, ready to play a friendly match against each other when you’re ready to get out onto the course for the first time.

Before that there’s always the opportunity to get to know each other better in the bar, preferably after the lesson though!

Keep an eye out for the forthcoming dates at the start of 2012 soon to be published here on James Irons Golf.

Please click here to contact me for more details about group coaching for 2012 or for any information about learning to play golf.

Holing Out From 10 Feet Or Less by James Irons

Posted on November 24, 2011 by | Comments Off on Holing Out From 10 Feet Or Less by James Irons

In the recent 2011 US Masters, Lee Westwood hit virtually every single green in regulation but struggled with the putter from close in – had he been on any sort of putting form he would have almost certainly won the tournament.

Here’s how to make those short putts count:

Holing Out From Ten Feet Or Less

At address, I am looking for my forearms to be parallel to each other, aiming towards the target.

Holing Out From Ten Feet Or Less

Next up is making sure my eyeline is directly above the ball

Holing Out From 10 Feet Or Less

The Putter Face should be pointing directly at my intended target.

Holing Out From 10 Feet Or Less

I am now looking for the Putter Face to stay on line and the stroke to remain on my intended target line throughout.

Holing Out From 10 Feet Or Less

Any deviation away from this will result in missed putts left and right.

Taking Your Golf Lessons On To The Course

Posted on November 22, 2011 by | Comments Off on Taking Your Golf Lessons On To The Course

Golf lessons will typically take place on the driving range, where balls can be hit successively in order to practise and hone your game. This is ideal for perfecting the different types of shots, learning about distance, and being able to do this at your own pace.

The game itself is of course played on a course, and after the initial practise it’s here that the fun really starts!

Dukes Meadows Golf Club has a superb nine-hole course, with fantastic greens, great scenery and some challenging holes – it’s perfect for beginners and experienced players alike.

Many golfers are nervous when stepping out onto the first tee for the first time, so an on-course lesson can be great to calm those nerves, learn about the etiquette of the sport, and be guided on which clubs to use and when.

It’s the perfect way to make the transition from the driving range to the course, and it won’t be long before you’re knocking shots off your score with every round…

See Your Swing On Video During Your Golf Lesson

Posted on November 18, 2011 by | Comments Off on See Your Swing On Video During Your Golf Lesson

One of the disadvantages of hitting balls on the range is that although you are getting a feel for how to hit the ball during your lesson, it’s difficult to physically see what you’re doing as you’re actually doing it.

This is where my video tuition can come in really useful.

I can film your swing and show it back to you there and then. What’s more – I can show you ‘before and after’ clips on a split-screen so that you can see, and more importantly understand the difference for yourself. I can even compare your swing to Tiger Woods if you like!

Video Coaching

Finally I can place the images and videos on your own webpage for you to look at in your own time, along with a selection of notes written by myself personally alongside for you to refer to.

Junior Golf Lessons In West London

Posted on October 26, 2011 by | Comments Off on Junior Golf Lessons In West London

I was lucky enough to have golf lessons in London from a young age and I fondly remember the Junior Group Coaching sessions that I took part in as a kid.

The professionals that taught me back then inspired me to improve and to eventually become a professional golfer, so I take great pride in teaching the youngsters of today, in the hope that they may become the golfers of tomorrow.

I cover all of the basics and the juniors will also enjoy some fun games and drills that they can practice away from the club.

I can also provide golf equipment free of charge for use during the coaching session, which typically lasts for one hour.

Golf is a great way to meet people, especially for the kids, they can interact with other kids from different backgrounds and all enjoy this great game together!

Please click here to see the forthcoming Junior Event Dates – there are some great events planned for half term!
